Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of Three Planetary Boundary Layer Schemes in the WRF Model
TL;DR: In this article, the sensitivity of the performance of the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model to the use of three different planetary boundary layer (PBL) parameterization schemes was examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impacts of Initial Estimate and Observation Availability on Convective-Scale Data Assimilation with an Ensemble Kalman Filter
TL;DR: In this article, the EnKF is used to estimate the flow-dependent background error covariances required in data assimilation for simulated supercell thunderstorms, and the authors further explore the potential and behavior of the enkf at convective scales by considering more realistic initial analyses and variations in the availability and quality of the radar observations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assimilation of Simulated Doppler Radar Observations with an Ensemble Kalman Filter
Chris Snyder,Fuqing Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the EnKF is used to estimate the covariances between observed variables and the state through an ensemble of forecasts to assimilate radar observations at convective scales.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of the Ensemble Kalman Filter for Atmospheric Data Assimilation
P. L. Houtekamer,Fuqing Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: For the EnKF in general, but higher-resolution applications in particular, it is desirable to use a short assimilation window, and a focus on approaches for maintaining balance during the EnkF update is focused on.
Journal ArticleDOI
Internal gravity waves from atmospheric jets and fronts
Riwal Plougonven,Fuqing Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present current knowledge and understanding on gravity waves near jets and fronts from observations, theory, and modeling, and discuss challenges for progress in coming years, including the need for improving parameterizations of nonorographic gravity waves in climate models that include a stratosphere.
