Under very large vertical gradients of atmospheric refractivity, which are typical at the height of the planetary boundary layer, the assimilation of radio occultation (RO) observations into numerical weather prediction (NWP) models presents several

[1] Applications for space-based GPS technology have extended to the atmospheric field during the last two decades. More recently, numerical weather prediction (NWP) centers started incorporating global positioning system (GPS) radio occultation (RO)

Following the successful launch of the Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere and Climate (COSMIC) satellites in April 2006, NCEP’s Environmental Modeling Center (EMC) is planning to use the COSMIC data in its next-generation Gl

The Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate (COSMIC) mission launched six small satellites in April 2006, each carrying a GPS radio occultation (RO) receiver. At final orbit, COSMIC will provide ∼2500–3000 RO sound

The prime need in forecasting atmospheric motions is to predict the synoptic pattern accurately, and to fill in as much mesoscale detail on it as possible. the problem is difficult because the atmospheric fields contain almost discontinuous structure

For semigeostrophic (SG) theories derived from the Hamiltonian principles suggested by Salmon it is known that a duality exists between the physical coordinates and geopotential, on the one hand, and isentropic geostrophic momentum coordinates and ge

Despite recent improvements in the accuracy of hurricane track forecasts, mean position errors still remain unacceptably large. For example, recurvature is captured poorly by forecast models and can produce excessively large position errors. This stu

We describe a variational technique for generating smooth quasi-homogeneous numerical grids covering the sphere. This work extends our earlier studies of non-standard global grids by relaxing the requirement of conformality to admit a greater degree

Having recently demonstrated that significant enhancement of forecast accuracy in a semi-Lagrangian model results from the application of high-order time integration methods to the second-derivative form of the equations governing the trajectories, t

With the increasingly widespread adoption of massively parallel processing (MPP) computers for applications in computational fluid dynamics it becomes appropriate to reconsider the geometrical configuration of the computational grid that best suits t
