...…to the convective scale was shown by assimilating simulated or real reflectivity observations (e.g., Dowell et al. 2004, 2011; Tong and Xue 2005, 2008; Xue et al. 2006; Jung et al. 2008; Aksoy et al. * The National Center for Atmospheric Research is sponsored by the National Science Foundation....

...In EnKF, radar reflectivity is efficient to initialize both model hydrometeors and microphysics parameters associatedwith amicrophysical scheme (Tong andXue 2005, 2008; Jung et al. 2008)....

...Currently, the two most promising data assimilation techniques for obtaining the atmospheric initial condition or the best estimate of the atmospheric state are the 4DVAR (Le Dimet and Talagrand 1986; Courtier and Talagrand 1987) and the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) method (Evensen 1994; Evensen and Leeuwen 1996; Burgers et al. 1998; Houtekamer and Mitchell 1998; Anderson 2001; Bishop et al. 2001; Whitaker and Hamill 2002; Evensen 2003; Tippett et al. 2003), because of their ability to make effective use of the dynamic model equations and observations distributed in space and time, and to provide the best estimate that is also consistent with the prediction model....
