TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the quality of forecasts based on initial data from convective-scale data assimilation is significantly better than thequality of forecasts from simple downscaling of larger-scale initial data.

TL;DR: The Terrain-Induced Rotor Experiment (T-REX) is a coordinated international project, composed of an observational field campaign and a research program, focused on the investigation of atmospheric rotors and closely related phenomena in complex terrain this paper.

TL;DR: The European Space Agency (ESA)'s Atmospheric Dynamics Mission Aeolus (ADM-Aeolus) Doppler wind lidar (DWL), now scheduled for launch in 2015, will be a major milestone as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the influence of assimilating additional observations during the two major typhoon events of T-PARC on the typhoon track forecast by the global models of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), and the limited-area Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model.

TL;DR: In this article, an overview of advances in the observation, modelling, forecasting, and understanding of flows through gaps achieved in the Mesoscale Alpine Programme is given, along with results from idealized topographical and flow conditions.
