Since 1 July 2018, the GRAPES (Global/Regional Assimilation and PrEdiction System) global 4‐dimensional variational (4D‐Var) data assimilation system has been in operation at China Meteorological Administration (CMA). In this study, 4D‐Var is comprehensively introduced. This applies non‐hydrostatic tangent‐linear model (TLM) adjoint (ADM) for first time. The use of a digital filter as weak constraint achieved. A series linear physical processes developed, including vertical diffusion,...

The spin-up refers to the dynamic and thermal adjustments made at initial stage of numerical integration in order reach a statistical equilibrium state. analyses on characteristics effects spin-ups are great significance for optimizing field model improving its forecast skills. In this paper, three different fields used experiments: analysis four-dimensional variational (4D-VAR) assimilation, 3 h prediction operational forecasting system, Final (FNL) Operational Global Analysis...
Abstract A four‐dimensional ensemble‐variational (4DEnVar) data assimilation (DA) system was developed based on the global forecast of Global/Regional Assimilation and Prediction System (GRAPES‐GFS). Instead using adjoint technique, this utilizes a dimension‐reduced projection (DRP) technique to minimize cost function standard variational (4DVar) DA. It dynamically predicts ensemble background error covariance (BEC) realizes explicit flow‐dependence BEC in configuration. An inflation linear...
Abstract Recent machine learning (ML)‐based weather forecasting models have improved the accuracy and efficiency of forecasts while minimizing computational resources, yet still depend on traditional data assimilation (DA) systems to generate analysis fields. Four dimensional variational (4DVar) enhances model states, relying prediction propagate observation initial field. Consequently, fields from DA are not optimal for ML‐based models, necessitating a customized system. This paper...
Minimization algorithms are singular components in four-dimensional variational data assimilation (4DVar). In this paper, the convergence and application of conjugate gradient algorithm (CGA), which is based on Lanczos iterative Hessian matrix derived from tangent linear adjoint models using a non-hydrostatic framework, investigated 4DVar minimization. First, influence Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization vector studied. The results show that without fails to converge after ninth iteration...
Abstract Spatial aspects of the physics–dynamics coupling in Global and Regional Assimilation Prediction System (GRAPES) for global medium‐range numerical weather prediction (GRAPES_GFS) are studied. As a Charney–Philips (CP) grid is used dynamics but all physical processes calculated on Lorenz GRAPES_GFS V2.2 its previous versions, interpolation has to be potential temperature moisture between full half levels coupling. Besides error, computational mode appears solutions vertical heat...
Abstract Initialization and the spin‐up effect are critical to model performance in four‐dimensional variational data assimilation (4DVar) system. The incremental analysis update (IAU) technique is able combat these problems. This study introduces IAU into 4DVar framework (IAU‐4DVar) of operational China Meteorological Administration Global Forecast System (CMA‐GFS) evaluates IAU‐4DVar. In this IAU‐4DVar framework, initial increments optimally estimated split up equally weighted forcing...
Abstract This study developed an ensemble four‐dimensional variational (En4DVar) hybrid data assimilation system. Different from most of the available En4DVar systems that adopted Kalman Filter class or approaches to produce covariances for their background error (BECs), it used a (4DEnVar) system obtain covariance. The localization scheme 4DEnVar applied orthogonal functions decompose correlation matrix so was implemented easily and rapidly. In terms analysis quality forecast skill,...
Many ensemble-based data assimilation (DA) methods use observation space localization to mitigate the sampling errors due insufficient ensemble members. Observation is simpler and more timesaving than model in implementation, but difficult directly assimilate satellite radiance observations, a kind of non-local observations. The vertical locations observations are undetermined transmission observational information thereby obstructed. To determine coordinates weighted average hypsometry...

Anomaly-based variable overcome bottleneck forecast time length or one-week forecasting...
