  2. Outline WRFDA – DA for WRF DART and WRFDA GSI and WRF Future Directions?

  3. Goal: Community WRF DA system for • regional/global, • research/operations, and • deterministic/probabilistic • applications. • Techniques: • 3D-Var • 4D-Var (regional) • Ensemble DA, • Hybrid Variational/Ensemble DA. • Model: WRF (ARW, NMM, Global) WRFDAhttp://www.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/users/wrfda

  4. WRFDA Observations • Bogus: • TC bogus. • Global bogus. • In-Situ: • Surface (SYNOP, METAR, SHIP, BUOY). • Upper air (TEMP, PIBAL, AIREP, ACARS, TAMDAR). • Remotely sensed retrievals: • Atmospheric Motion Vectors (geo/polar). • SATEM thickness. • Ground-based GPS Total Precipitable Water/Zenith Total Delay. • SSM/I oceanic surface wind speed and TPW. • Scatterometer oceanic surface winds. • Wind Profiler. • Radar radial velocities and reflectivities. • Satellite temperature/humidity/thickness profiles. • GPS refractivity (e.g. COSMIC). • Radiative Transfer (RTTOV or CRTM): • HIRS from NOAA-16, NOAA-17, NOAA-18, NOAA-19, METOP-2 • AMSU-A from NOAA-15, NOAA-16, NOAA-18, NOAA-19, EOS-Aqua, METOP-2 • AMSU-B from NOAA-15, NOAA-16, NOAA-17 • MHS from NOAA-18, NOAA-19, METOP-2 • AIRS from EOS-Aqua • SSMIS from DMSP-16

  5. WRFDA Radiance Assimilation(Liu and Auligne, MMM) • BUFR 1b radiance ingest. • RTM interface: RTTOV (v9.3) or CRTM (v2.0.2) • NESDIS microwave surface emissivity model • Range of monitoring diagnostics. • Quality Control for HIRS, AMSU, AIRS, SSMI/S. • Bias Correction: Adaptive or Variational • Variational observation error tuning • Parallel: MPI • Flexible design to easily add new satellite sensors

  6. NCAR/RAL/JNT/DAT: Atlantic Testbed (AFWA T8) • 361*325*57L, 15km • Model top: 10mb • Full cycling exp. for 6 days • 15 ~ 20 August 2007 • GTS: assimilate NCAR conventional obs • Select similar data type used by AFWA • GTS+AMSU+MHS (use NCEP BUFR rad.) • NOAA-15/16/18, AMSU-A, ch. 5~10 • NOAA-15/16/17, AMSU-B, ch. 3~5 • NOAA-18, MHS (similar to AMSU-B) • Radiance used only over water • thinned to 120km • +-2h time window • Bias Correction (H&K, 2001) • 48h forecast twice each day • 00Z, 12Z Land Use Category (Liu, MMM and Shao, RAL)

  7. 48h forecast error vs. sound

  8. 4DVAR vs. 3DVAR 45km resolution (4DVAR is still very slow) model top = 10mb Only assimilate radiance data (AMSU/MHS), 6h time window

  9. (Adjoint based) Observation Impact: Conventional Data (Auligne, MMM)

  10. Observation Impact: Satellite radiances

  11. Outline WRFDA – DA for WRF DART and WRFDA GSI and WRF Future Directions? Radiance Data Assimilation with DART Zhiquan Liu,Craig Schwartz, Xiang-Yu Huang (NCAR/MMM) Yongsheng Chen (York University)

  12. Practical Implementation • Make use of observation operators built in the WRFDA-3DVAR. • Obs. prior is calculated/QCed/output from WRFDA-3DVAR • For both conventional observations and radiances • Convert 3DVAR output files into the modified DART obs_seq files. • Modify DART to directly use obs prior calculated from 3DVAR • DART built-in observation operators are only applied after analysis (step for diagnosing obs. posterior) • For radiances, also output Jacobian from CRTM in addition to obs prior. • For vertical localization

  13. Vertical Localization (K/K) Take the height of peak levels of Jacobian as vertical coordinate Use DART built-in vertical localization AMSU-A Jacobian w.r.t. T (K/K)

  14. Bias Correction and QC Bias correction coefficients from the end of 3DVAR experiment. Use Ensemble Mean as reference for BC and QC.

  16. Outline WRFDA – DA for WRF DART and WRFDA GSI and WRF Future Directions?

  17. Provide current operational GSI capability to the research community (O2R); Provide a framework for distributed development of new capabilities & advances in data assimilation. Provide a pathway for data assimilation research to operations process. (R2O). Provide rational basis to operational centers and research community for enhancement of data assimilation technique and systems and, eventually, numerical weather forecast systems.

  20. Verification against ECMWF (T8,+48h 2007081512-2007082212)

  21. Bias Correction OMB without BC OMB with BC OMA

  22. Outline WRFDA – DA for WRF DART and WRFDA GSI and WRF Future Directions?

  23. Consider diurnal cycle or descending/ascending orbit issue with VarBC for regional applications Bias with diurnal cycle. Morning (12Z): -0.60K Evening (00Z): -0.15K (Related to Descending/Ascending nodes) Use one set of BC coefs for 00Z/12Z (oscillation still exists after BC) Use separated BC coefs for 00Z/12Z (Oscillation is removed after BC)

  24. Still need to work on BE (Rizvi, Krysta, Chen, Huang) CV3 CV5 Increments from single T observation at 5th level ,15N CV6

  25. Displacement DA Approach background error => displacements of coherent features + additive (residual) error Conceptual view of using displacements to characterize errors Partition:

  26. Representativeness Error Towards Cloudy Radiance Assimilation • Simulated mismatch in resolution: • Perfect observations (high resolution) • Perfect Background (lower resolution) • New interpolation scheme: • 1. Automatic detection of sharp gradients • 2. New “proximity” for interpolation Background New Innovations Innovations

  27. Beyond WRF: MPAS - Summary 3D Solvers Hydrostatic 3D SVCT solver (pressure coordinate). Nonhydrostatic 3D SVCT solver (height coordinate). Both solvers work on the sphere and on 2D and 3D Cartesian domains. Tests results confirm viability of Voronoi C-grid discretization at large scales (global) and cloud-permitting scales for both solvers. Variable-resolution grid results are encouraging. Future Development Weather, regional climate and climate physics suites. Further testing of variable resolution meshes, physics development. Further development and testing of higher-order transport schemes. Expectations NWP testing by the end of this year. Friendly-user release summer 2011. (Bill Skamarock)
