Constructing β-mesoscale weather systems in initial fields remains a
challenging problem in a mesoscale numerical weather prediction (NWP) model.
Without vertical velocity matching the β-mesoscale weather system,
convection activities would be suppressed by downdraft and cooling caused by
precipitating hydrometeors. In this study, a method, basing on the
three-dimensional variational (3DVAR) assimilation technique, was developed
to obtain reasonable structures of β-mesoscale weather systems by
assimilating radar data in a next-generation NWP system named GRAPES (the
Global and Regional Assimilation and Prediction System) of China.
Single-point testing indicated that assimilating radial wind significantly
improved the horizontal wind but had little effect on the vertical velocity,
while assimilating the retrieved vertical velocity (taking Richardson's
equation as the observational operator) can greatly improve the vertical
motion. Experiments on a typhoon show that assimilation of the radial wind
data can greatly improve the prediction of the typhoon track, and can
ameliorate precipitation to some extent. Assimilating the retrieved vertical
velocity and rainwater mixing ratio, and adjusting water vapor and cloud
water mixing ratio in the initial fields simultaneously, can significantly
improve the tropical cyclone rainfall forecast but has little effect on
typhoon path. Joint assimilating these three kinds of radar data gets the
best results. Taking into account the scale of different weather systems and
representation of observational data, data quality control, error setting of
background field and observation data are still requiring further in-depth
study. 相似文献

To improve the accuracy of short-term(0–12 h) forecasts of severe weather in southern China, a real-time storm-scale forecasting system, the Hourly Assimilation and Prediction System(HAPS), has been implemented in Shenzhen, China. The forecasting system is characterized by combining the Advanced Research Weather Research and Forecasting(WRF-ARW)model and the Advanced Regional Prediction System(ARPS) three-dimensional variational data assimilation(3DVAR) package. It is capable of assimilating radar reflectivity and radial velocity data from multiple Doppler radars as well as surface automatic weather station(AWS) data. Experiments are designed to evaluate the impacts of data assimilation on quantitative precipitation forecasting(QPF) by studying a heavy rainfall event in southern China. The forecasts from these experiments are verified against radar, surface, and precipitation observations. Comparison of echo structure and accumulated precipitation suggests that radar data assimilation is useful in improving the short-term forecast by capturing the location and orientation of the band of accumulated rainfall. The assimilation of radar data improves the short-term precipitation forecast skill by up to9 hours by producing more convection. The slight but generally positive impact that surface AWS data has on the forecast of near-surface variables can last up to 6–9 hours. The assimilation of AWS observations alone has some benefit for improving the Fractions Skill Score(FSS) and bias scores; when radar data are assimilated, the additional AWS data may increase the degree of rainfall overprediction. 相似文献

In an effort to assess the impact of the individual component of meteorological observations (ground-based GPS precipitable water vapor,automatic and conventional meteorological observations) on the torrential rain event in 4-5 July 2000 in Beijing (with the 24-h accumulated precipitation reaching 240 mm),24-h observation system experiments are conducted numerically by using the MM5/WRF 3DVAR system and the nonhydrostatic MM5 model.Results indicate that,because the non-conventional GPS observations are directly assimilated into the initial analyses by 3DVAR system,better initial fields and 24-h simulation for the severe precipitation event are achieved than those under the MM5/Litter_R objective analysis scheme. Further analysis also shows that the individual component of meteorological observation network plays their special positive role in the improvement of initial field analysis and forecasting skills.3DVAR scheme with or without radiosonde and pilot observation has the most significant influence on numerical simulation,and automatic and conventional surface meteorological observations rank second.After acquiring the supplement information from the other meteorological observations,the ground-based GPS precipitable water vapor data can more obviously reflect initial field assimilation and precipitation forecast.By incorporating the ground- based GPS precipitable water vapor data into the 3DVAR analyses at the initial time,the threat scores (TS) with thresholds of 1,5,10,and 20 mm are increased by 1%-8% for 6- and 24-h accumulated precipitation observations,respectively.This work gives one helpful example that assesses the impact of individual component of the existing meteorological observation network on the high influence weather event using 3DVAR numerical system. 相似文献

The present study designs experiments on the direct assimilation of
radial velocity and reflectivity data collected by an S-band Doppler weather
radar (CINRAD WSR-98D) at the Hefei Station and the reanalysis data produced by
the United States National Centers for Environmental Prediction using the Weather
Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, the WRF model with a three-dimensional
variational (3DVAR) data assimilation system and the WRF model with an ensemble
square root filter (EnSRF) data assimilation system. In addition, the present
study analyzes a Meiyu front heavy rainfall process that occurred in the Yangtze
-Huaihe River Basin from July 4 to July 5, 2003, through numerical simulation.
The results show the following. (1) The assimilation of the radar radial velocity
data can increase the perturbations in the low-altitude atmosphere over the heavy
rainfall region, enhance the convective activities and reduce excessive simulated
precipitation. (2) The 3DVAR assimilation method significantly adjusts the
horizontal wind field. The assimilation of the reflectivity data improves the
microphysical quantities and dynamic fields in the model. In addition, the
assimilation of the radial velocity and reflectivity data can better adjust the
wind fields and improve the intensity and location of the simulated radar echo
bands. (3) The EnSRF assimilation method can assimilate more small-scale wind
field information into the model. The assimilation of the reflectivity data alone
can relatively accurately forecast the rainfall centers. In addition, the
assimilation of the radial velocity and reflectivity data can improve the
location of the simulated radar echo bands. (4) The use of the 3DVAR and EnSRF
assimilation methods to assimilate the radar radial velocity and reflectivity
data can improve the forecast of precipitation, rain-band areal coverage and the
center location and intensity of precipitation. 相似文献

RETRIEVAL OF HORIZONTAL WIND PERTURBATION FIELDS FROM SIMULATED SINGLE DOPPLER RADAR OBSERVATIONS 下载免费PDF全文
下载免费PDF全文 The application of the single Doppler radar dataset analysis is usually confined to the assumption that the actualwind is linearly distributed or uniform locally.Following some dynamic features of convective weather,a conceptualmodel of moderate complexity is constructed,wherewith a horizontal wind perturbation field is retrieved directly fromthe single Doppler radar measurements.The numerical experiments are based on a 3-D cloud model-generatedconvective cell,whose radial velocity component is taken as the radar observations that are put into the closed equationsbased on the conceptual model to retrieve the horizontal wind perturbation field.After the initial field is properlytreated,the retrieval equation is solved in terms of the 2-D FFT technique and the sensitivity to noise is examined.Finally,contrast analysis is done of the retrieved and the cloud model output wind fields,indicating the usefulness of theapproach proposed in this paper. 相似文献

Dynamical and Microphysical Retrieval from Simulated Doppler Radar Observations Using the 4DVAR Assimilation Technique 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
Based on a cloud model and the four-dimensional variational (4DVAR) data assimilation method developed by Sun and Crook (1997), simulated experiments of dynamical and microphysical retrieval from Doppler radar data were performed. The 4DVAR data assimilation technique was applied to a cloud scale model with a warm rain parameterization scheme. The 3D wind, thermodynamical, and microphysical fields were determined by minimizing a cost function, defined by the difference between both radar observed radial velocities and reflectivities and their model predictions. The adjoint of the numerical model was used to provide the gradient of the cost function with respect to the control variables. Experiments have demonstrated that the 4DVAR assimilation method is able to retrieve the detailed structure of wind, thermodynamics, and microphysics by using either dual-Doppler or single-Doppler information. The quality of retrieval depends strongly on the magnitude of constraint with respect to the variables. Retrieving the temperature field, cloud water and water vapor is more difficult than the recovery of the wind field and rainwater. Accurate thermodynamic retrieval requires a longer assimilation period. The inclusion of a background term, even mean fields from a single sounding, helped reduce the retrieval errors. Less accurate velocity fields were obtained when single-Doppler data were used. It was found that the retrieved velocity is sensitive to the location of the retrieval domain relative to the radars while the other fields have very little changes. Two radar volumetric scans are generally adequate for providing the evolution, although the use of additional volumes improves the retrieval. As the amount of the observations decreases, the performance of the retrieval is degraded. However, the missing observations can be compensated by adding a background term to the cost function. The technique is robust to random errors in radial velocity and calibration errors in reflectivity. The boundary conditions from the dual-Doppler synthesized winds are sufficient for the retrieval. When the retrieval is mainly controlled by the observations in the regions away from the boundaries, the simple boundary conditions from velocity azimuth display (VAD) analysis are also available. The microphysical retrieval is sensitive to model errors. 相似文献

In order to understand the impact of initial conditions upon prediction accuracy of short-term
forecast and nowcast of precipitation in South China, four experiments i.e. a control, an assimilation of
conventional sounding and surface data, testing with nudging rainwater data and the assimilation of
radar-derived radial wind, are respectively conducted to simulate a case of warm-sector heavy rainfall that
occurred over South China, by using the GRAPES_MESO model. The results show that (1) assimilating
conventional surface and sounding observations helps improve the 24-h rainfall forecast in both the area
and order of magnitude; (2) nudging rainwater contributes to a significant improvement of nowcast, and (3)
the assimilation of radar-derived radial winds distinctly improves the 24-h rainfall forecast in both the area
and order of magnitude. These results serve as significant technical reference for the study on short-term
forecast and nowcast of precipitation over South China in the future. 相似文献

The impacts of stratospheric initial conditions and vertical resolution on the stratosphere by raising the model top, refining the vertical resolution, and the assimilation of operationally available observations, including conventional and satellite observations, on continental U.S. winter short-range weather forecasting, were investigated in this study. The initial and predicted wind and temperature profiles were analyzed against conventional observations. Generally, the initial wind and temperature bias profiles were better adjusted when a higher model top and refined vertical resolution were used. Negative impacts were also observed in both the initial wind and temperature profiles, over the lower troposphere. Different from the results by only raising the model top, the assimilation of operationally available observations led to significant improvements in both the troposphere and stratosphere initial conditions when a higher top was used.
Predictions made with the adjusted stratospheric initial conditions and refined vertical resolutions showed generally better forecasting skill. The major improvements caused by raising the model top with refined vertical resolution, as well as those caused by data assimilation, were in both cases located in the tropopause and lower stratosphere. Negative impacts were also observed, in the predicted near surface wind and lower-tropospheric temperature. These negative impacts were related to the uncertainties caused by more stratospheric information, as well as to some physical processes. A case study shows that when we raise the model top, put more vertical layers in stratosphere and apply data assimilation, the precipitation scores can be slightly improved. However, more analysis are needed due to uncertainties brought by data assimilation. 相似文献

Millimeter-wavelength radar has proved to be an effective instrument for cloud observation and research. In this study, 8-mm-wavelength cloud radar (MMCR) with Doppler and polarization capabilities was used to investigate cloud dynamics in China for the first time. Its design, system specifications, calibration, and application in measuring clouds associated with typhoon are discussed in this article. The cloud radar measurements of radar reflectivity (Z), Doppler velocity (Vr), velocity spectrum width (Sw) and the depolar-ization ratio (LDR) at vertical incidence were used to analyze the microphysical and dynamic processes of the cloud system and precipitation associated with Typhoon Nuri, which occurred in southern China in August 2008. The results show the reflectivity observed using MMCR to be consistent with the echo height and the melting-layer location data obtained by the nearby China S-band new-generation weather radar (SA), but the Ka-band MMCR provided more detailed structural information about clouds and weak precipitation data than did the SA radar. The variation of radar reflectivity and LDR in vertical structure reveals the transformation of particle phase from ice to water. The vertical velocity and velocity spectrum width of MMCR observations indicate an updraft and strong turbulence in the stratiform cloud layer. MMCR provides a valuable new technology for meteorological research in China. 相似文献

This paper examines how assimilating surface observations can improve the analysis and forecast ability of a fourdimensional Variational Doppler Radar Analysis System(VDRAS).Observed surface temperature and winds are assimilated together with radar radial velocity and reflectivity into a convection-permitting model using the VDRAS four-dimensional variational(4DVAR) data assimilation system.A squall-line case observed during a field campaign is selected to investigate the performance of the technique.A single observation experiment shows that assimilating surface observations can influence the analyzed fields in both the horizontal and vertical directions.The surface-based cold pool,divergence and gust front of the squall line are all strengthened through the assimilation of the single surface observation.Three experiments—assimilating radar data only,assimilating radar data with surface data blended in a mesoscale background,and assimilating both radar and surface observations with a 4DVAR cost function—are conducted to examine the impact of the surface data assimilation.Independent surface and wind profiler observations are used for verification.The result shows that the analysis and forecast are improved when surface observations are assimilated in addition to radar observations.It is also shown that the additional surface data can help improve the analysis and forecast at low levels.Surface and low-level features of the squall line—including the surface warm inflow,cold pool,gust front,and low-level wind—are much closer to the observations after assimilating the surface data in VDRAS. 相似文献

Application of Radar Reflectivity Factor in Initializing Cloud-Resolving Mesoscale Model. Part Ⅱ: Numerical Simulation Experiments 下载免费PDF全文
下载免费PDF全文 Microphysics elements and vertical velocity retrieved were incorporated using the nudging method into the initial data assimilation of GRAPES (Global/Regional Assimilation and Prediction System) model.Simulation experiments indicated that nudging technique was effective in forcing the model forecast gradually consistent to the observations, yielding the thermodynamically and dynamically balanced analysis field. As viewed from the simulation results, water vapor is vital to precipitation, and it is a governing factor for the amount and duration of precipitation. The initial cloud water, rain water, and vertical velocity determine the strength distribution of convection and precipitation at the beginning time of forecast; the horizontal wind field steers the motion of the mesoscale weather system embedded in and impacts the position of precipitation zone to a large extent. The simulation experiments show that the influence of the initial retrieval data on prediction weakens with the increase of forecast time, and within the first hour of forecast, the retrieval data have an important impact on the evolution of the weather system, but its influence becomes trivial after the first three hours. Changing the nudging coefficient and the integral time-spacing of numerical model will bring some influences to the results. Herein only one radar reflectivity was used, the radar observations did not cover the whole model domain, and some empirical parameters were used in the retrieval method, therefore some differences still lie between simulation and observation to a certain extent, and further studies on several aspects are expected. 相似文献

雷达反射率因子在中尺度云分辨模式初始化中的应用Ⅱ：数值模拟试验 总被引：3，自引：1，他引：3
将反演的云微物理量和垂直速度采用"牛顿连续松弛逼近"(Nudging)技术应用到GRAPES模式中,对一次梅雨锋暴雨过程进行了数值模拟。通过设计不同的试验方案,分别对水汽、液态水和垂直速度对Nudging效果以及预报结果的影响进行了考察。研究发现,采用Nudging初始化方法,可使背景场与观测反演资料相协调,实现了模式中对流的热启动,模式预报的开始时刻就产生降水,缩短Spin-up时间。水汽对降水至关重要,对降水的强度和持续时间都有重要影响;云水、雨水和垂直速度决定了初始时刻对流的强弱分布并产生降水;水平风场决定了系统的移动方向,对预报降水的落区有重要影响。模式比较成功地模拟了6 h的降水过程,中尺度天气系统的时空特征比较明显,对流中心上升速度最大值约2.0 m/s,云水含量400 hPa以上较大,最大值约1.5 g/kg,雨水含量500 hPa以下较大,最大约3.0 g/kg,底层辐合高层辐散。反演资料对降水的影响随预报时间的增加而减弱,预报1 h之内反演资料有明显影响,3 h之后的预报则主要依赖模式自身。鉴于仅使用一部雷达资料的反射率因子资料,雷达资料没有覆盖整个模式区域,天气系统被截断,反演和同化过程还采用了一些经验参数方法等原因,数值模拟结果与雷达观测之间还存在一定的差异,有待于更深入的研究。 相似文献

加密探空资料同化对一次降水预报能力改进研究 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
通过设计不同的试验方案,将加密探空资料同化到WRF模式中,对一次层状云系的降水过程进行了数值模拟.采用实时四维资料同化的方法,使得背景场和观测资料相协调,在一定程度上解决了模式的spin up问题.将温度同化到模式里,改变了模式原有的热力场,使得模式动力场随之改变,模式模拟的结果更接近实际观测.经过松弛(nudging)之后,得到的雷达回波、高度场、温度和实况很像,降水也要比不加探空资料的降水更接近实况.鉴于只有两个地方的探空资料,并不能覆盖整个模式区域,以及同化过程还需要改进,模式模拟的结果和实际观测之间还有一定的差异,有待更深入的研究. 相似文献

三维变分和物理初始化方法相结合同化多普勒雷达资料的试验研究 总被引：8，自引：1，他引：7
以美国新近研发的天气研究预报模式(WRF)配置的三维变分(3D-Var)同化系统WRF 3D-Var为平台,结合物理初始化方法(Physical Initialization,简称PI)来同化多普勒雷达径向风和回波强度观测资料.其基本做法是首先用物理初始化方法由雷达回波资料估计出比湿、云水混合比和垂直速度,然后用估计的比湿和云水混合比对模式的相应变量进行调整,最后再将估计出的垂直速度作为一种新的观测类型添加到现有的WRF 3D-Var目标函数中,同时以WRF 3D-Var提供的方法直接同化径向风.针对2002年6月19日的一次强对流性降水过程和2003年7月5日的一次梅雨锋暴雨过程进行了一组同化多普勒雷达径向风和回波资料的试验研究.同化结果表明:分析变量的增量场和观测的雷达回波有很好的对应关系.在雷达回波区,有正的比湿增量、云水含量增量和垂直速度增量,并且水平风增量在此辐合;在没有雷达回波的地方有负的垂直速度增量.预报结果表明,调整云水含量对降水预报改善不明显,调整比湿对降水预报改进明显,直接用物理初始化估计出的垂直速度替代模式的初始垂直速度,对降水预报改进不明显,但以新的方案同化雷达资料能有效地缩短模式的起转时间(spin-up time),明显改进短时降水预报. 相似文献

利用新一代中尺度预报模式WRFV3.6及其三维变分同化系统(WRF-3DVAR),对2012年7月21日北京地区的一次暴雨过程进行多普勒天气雷达径向风和反射率的同化试验研究,检验和探讨高时空分辨率多普勒天气雷达资料在改进模式初始场及提高对暴雨过程预报的准确率等方面的应用效果及意义。结果发现雷达资料同化能在初始场中加入反映产生降水的低层风场辐合的动力和锋前暖区充足的水汽条件的物理信息,可以在模式积分开始后改善初始场中水汽和风的分布,较快地模拟出局地对流系统的发生、发展,改善由于中尺度观测资料不足而造成的模式初始场里中尺度信息缺乏的问题。径向速度的同化增加了中尺度信息,对初始流场的调整较为显著,侧重于改进风场。而雷达反射率资料的同化对初始温、湿度场和强回波位置的调整更明显,侧重于改进湿度场。累计降水的预报结果显示,同化径向风资料对雨带的位置、范围有较好的改进,同化雷达反射率资料对暴雨强度的预报有明显的改善。通过降水ETS评分发现,同化常规观测试验相对于控制实验,对于5、15 mm和25 mm降水评分能增加0.1左右,径向风同化试验能增加0.2左右,反射率同化试验能增加0.3左右,而径向风加反射率试验增加的评分介于0.2～0.3。雷达资料对于提高定量降水预报的精确度有着重要作用。 相似文献
