The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model is an atmospheric modeling system
designed for both research and numerical weather prediction. WRF is an open-source …

In both operational and research settings, kilometre‐scale regional numerical weather
prediction (NWP) models are often initialised by interpolating analyses from a global …

Design Strategies of an Hourly Update 3DVAR Data Assimilation System for Improved
Convective Forecasting in: Weather and Forecasting Volume 31 Issue 5 (2016) Jump to …

Radar data assimilation (DA) can improve short-term precipitation forecasts. However,
assimilating radar observations into a numerical prediction model may produce spurious …

Large‐scale environment fields play an important role in the accurate prediction of typhoons.
However, regional predictions for typhoons often suffer from inadequate representation of …

Abstract Using the Weather Research and Forecasting Model, 80-member ensemble
Kalman filter (EnKF) analyses with 3-km horizontal grid spacing were produced over the …

Several blending methods have been developed in dynamic downscaling and rapid cycled
data assimilation. Blending the large‐scale part of the global model (GM) analysis or …

Radar reflectivity observations contain valuable information on precipitation and have been
assimilated into numerical weather prediction models for improved microphysics …

The partial cycle (PC) strategy has been used in many rapid refresh cycle systems (RRC) for
regional short-range weather forecasting. Since the strategy periodically reinitializes the …

Convection‐permitting (CP) models have provided a step change in the ability to forecast
impactful convective storms, which pose risks such as flash flooding and lightning. Despite …
