Spatial observation‐error correlations for AMSU‐A in all‐sky assimilation: An ECMWF and UK Met Office intercomparison

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Assimilation of AMSU‐A all‐sky observations can be increased up to fivefold if spatial observation‐error correlations are accounted for properly. New correlation estimates derived using data from ECMWF and the UK Met Office reveal that correlation length‐scales are between 75 and 150 km for AMSU‐A channels peaking in the troposphere. This is attributed

Modeling rainfall drop size distribution moments using an S‐band polarimetric radar in complex terrain

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Using S‐band dual‐polarization radar and disdrometers during PRECIP 2022 in Taiwan, we analyze a Mei‐Yu frontal event with widespread stratiform rain and embedded convection. Multiple disdrometers are used to create a novel drop size distribution model for S‐band radars resolving both the drizzle and precipitation modes. The model reveals both inferred

Characteristics of upper‐level updrafts and downdrafts in the anvils of tropical deep convective clouds

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study investigates the thermodynamic and microphysical characteristics of updrafts and downdrafts of tropical deep convective anvil clouds using in situ measurements. We found that parts of the downdrafts are in ice supersaturation in these clouds.

Impact of fragmented urbanization on observed precipitation

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study investigates the impact of fragmented urban landscapes on downwind precipitation by applying an innovative observation‐centered approach to an extensive rain gauge network in Belgium. The approach classifies the observations based on the upwind urban land cover fraction, and compares precipitation indices between rural‐ and urban‐labeled ...

Why does typhoon Noru (2022) possess severe rapid intensification as explored by the extended Sawyer–Eliassen equation?

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
As inferred from the Sawyer–Eliassen analyses, the intense diabatic heating located slightly inside the radius of maximum tangential wind (RMW) associated with a compact eyewall is mainly responsible for the severe RI of Noru, in contrast to typhoon Goni (2020) at a slower spinup despite similar RMW, due to the weaker diabatic heating. The severe RI of

The benefit of neighborhood methods for the assimilation of cloud‐affected radiances evaluated in observing‐system simulation experiments

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Neighborhood methods are commonly used in verification to avoid the double‐penalty issue. This study evaluates such methods for the assimilation of infrared and visible satellite observations and extends them to multiscale assimilation. Moreover, a novel technique is tested aimed at mitigating complex biases and structural errors in real‐world model ...

Nowcasting convective cores using deep learning

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Key findings: •$$ \bullet $$ Network for Nowcasting Convective Cores (NetNCC) has considerable potential for convective storm nowcasting and the development of early warning systems for extreme rainfall. •$$ \bullet $$ Skilful nowcasts of convective cores are obtained at fine spatial resolutions (<30km$$ <30\kern0.15em \mathrm{km} $$) for up to 2 hr ...

Enhancing severe convection forecasts with microwave radiance assimilation in limited‐area models

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Microwave satellite radiances remain largely underexploited in convection‐permitting limited‐area models. We assess the assimilation of humidity‐sensitive radiances from the MHS instrument in the operational ICON‐2I model, improving the precipitation forecast of a severe convective event over the Marche region, Italy, substantially by correcting ...
