Assimilation and Initialization of Data for Tropical Weather Prediction

Abstract

Goals of this research are to improve seasonal and longer predictions of large scale tropical systems such as monsoons and ENSO related phenomena. Achievement of these goals requires development of a coupled ocean-atmosphere model and improvement of the model assimilation scheme. The full system utilized for the long term predictions includes a low-resolution global spectral model and an assimilation scheme used for proper coupling of the atmosphere and ocean models (LaRow, 1998).
