In 1997, during the late stages of production NCEP–NCAR Global Reanalysis (GR), exploration a regional reanalysis project was suggested by GR project's Advisory Committee, “particularly if RDAS [Regional Data Assimilation System] is significantly better than global at capturing hydrological cycle, diurnal cycle and other important features weather climate variability.” Following 6-yr development effort, NCEP's North American Regional (NARR) completed in 2004, data are now available to...
We present the impact tests that preceded most recent operational upgrades to land surface model used in National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) mesoscale Eta model, whose domain includes North America. These improvements consist of changes “Noah” (LSM) physics, notable area cold season processes. Results indicate improved performance forecasting low‐level temperature and humidity, with (or without affecting) overall quantitative precipitation scores upper air verification...
An algorithm for iterative learning control is proposed based on an optimisation principle used by other authors to derive gradient-type algorithms. The new a descent and has potential benefits which include realisation in terms of Riccati feedback feedforward components. This also the advantage implicitly ensuring automatic step-size selection hence guaranteeing convergence without need empirical choice parameters. achieves geometric rate invertible plants.

Annually, 15 million people worldwide suffer a stroke, and 5 are left permanently disabled. A stroke is usually caused when blood clot blocks vessel in the brain acts like dam, stopping reaching regions downstream. Alternatively, it may be by hemorrhage, which ruptures leaks into surrounding areas. As result, some of connecting nerve cells die, person commonly suffers partial paralysis on one side body, termed hemiplegia. Cells killed this way cannot regrow, but has spare capacity and,...
An algorithm for iterative learning control is developed on the basis of an optimization principle which has been used previously to derive gradient-type algorithms. The new numerous benefits include realization in terms Riccati feedback and feedforward components. This also advantage implicitly ensuring automatic step size selection hence guaranteeing convergence without need empirical choice parameters. expressed as a very general norm problem Hilbert space setting hence, principle, can be...

Each daily uses most recent 24-h receipts situ and satellite-derived data provides a SST field 0.5° × (latitude-longitude) grid. The RTG_SST fields regional Meso Eta...
A new optimization-based iterative learning control algorithm is proposed and its properties derived. An important characteristic of this that it uses present future predicted errors to compute the current control, in a similar manner model-based predictive using receding horizon. In particular, enables designer achieve good over convergence rate. The actual implementation has multimodel structure but standard linear quadratic regulator methods for causal formulation (in sense) what...
This note describes changes that have been made to the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) operational "early" eta model. The are 1) an decrease in horizontal grid spacing from 80 48 km, 2) incorporation of a cloud prediction scheme, 3) replacement original static analysis system with 12-h intermittent data assimilation using model, and 4) use satellite-sensed total column water optimum interpolation analysis. When tested separately, each four improved model performance. A...

We consider the iterative learning control problem from an adaptive viewpoint. It is shown that some standard Lyapunov designs can be modified in a straightforward manner to give solution either feedback or feedforward ILC problem. Some of common assumptions non-linear are relaxed: e.g. we relax linear growth asssumption on non-linearities and handle systems arbitrary relative degree. generally rate convergence MSE achieved, simple robustness analysis given. For plants show achieved for...

This paper considers a general class of linear iterative learning control (ILC) algorithm applied to tracking tasks which require the plant output reach given points at predetermined time instants, without specification intervening reference points. A framework is developed in frequency-domain updated between trials. It shown that superior convergence and robustness properties are obtained compared with those associated using original ILC track prescribed arbitrary trajectory satisfying...
