Sinopsis

Excerpt from Methods of Sequential Estimation for Determining Initial Data in Numerical Weather Prediction: June 1982

Improperly chosen initial data lead to spurious fast waves which appearas large, transient errors in the forecast of every meteorological variable. Forecasts of vertical motion, and therefore precipitation forecasts, are particularly affected by the spurious waves.

Excerpt from Methods of Sequential Estimation for Determining Initial Data in Numerical Weather Prediction: June 1982

Numerical weather prediction (NWP) is an initial-value problem for a system of nonlinear partial differential equations, in which Initial values are known Incompletely and inaccurately. Observational data available at the Initial time must therefore be supplemented by data available prior to the initial time, a problem known as meteorological data assimilation.

A further complication in NWP is that solutions of the governing equations evolve on two different time scales, a fast one and a slow one, whereas fast scale motions in the atmosphere are not reliably observed. This leads to the so-called initialization problem: initial values must be constrained to result in a slowly evolving forecast.

The theory of estimation of stochastic-dynamic systems provides a natural approach to such problems. For linear stochastic-dynamic models, the Kalman-Bucy (KB) sequential filter is the optimal data assimilation method. We show that, for linear models, the optimal combined data assimilation-initialization method is a modified version of the Kb filter. This modified Kb filter combines the standard Kb filter with a projection onto the slow solution subspace.

The shallow-water equations are a simple system whose solutions exhibit many features of large-scale atmospheric flow important in NWP.
