Abstract
- With the module of assimilating AMSU-A (Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A) and AIRS (Atmospheric Infrared Sounder) data in the WRFDA (Weather Research and Forecasting Model Data Assimilation) system, the impacts of joint assimilation of the radiance observations from two satellites on the simulation of typhoon Chan-hom (2015) are addressed. For comparison, experiments with the assimilation of solely GTS (Global Telecommunications System) data, AMSU-A data, or AIRS data are also performed. The results show that, compared to other experiments, the analysis field after assimilating multiple radiance data is closer to the observation. The simulated steering flow in its forecast field is conductive to the northeast twist of the typhoon. In addition, the simulated rainband and the FSS (fraction skill score) calculated from the experiment with assimilating multiple radiance data are better. In the deterministic forecast, better performance is obtained from the simulation with multiple radiance data in the forecast of track, MSLP (minimum sea level pressure), and MSW (maximum surface wind).
