Convection forecasts from the hourly updated, 3-km High Resolution Rapid Refresh Model

The next generation of the 1h Rapid Update Cycle is being readied for operational use at the 13 km scale. As described in a companion paper (Weygandt et al.), an effective technique for assimilating 3-d radar reflectivity data has been developed for the 13km RUC and upcoming 13km Rapid Refresh using a version of the WRF model. Here, we describ...

Impact of TAMDAR data on RUC short-range forecasts

Impact of TAMDAR humidity, temperature, and wind observations in RUC parallel experiments

Expansion of the aircraft fleet contributing meteorological reports is the most important observational need for improving aviation weather forecasts. One of the major efforts in this direction has been the TAMDAR (Tropospheric AMDAR) sponsored by the NASA Aviation Safety Program (Daniels et al. 2006, Moninger et al. 2006), and the NASA-sponsore...

TAMDAR aircraft impact experiments with the Rapid Update Cycle

Accuracy of ACARS wind and temperature observations determined by collocation

A collocation study of meteorological reports from commercial aircraft relayed through the Aircraft Communications, Addressing, and Reporting System (ACARS) has been performed to estimate standard deviations of observation errors for wind and temperature. ACARS observations were collected over an area in the western and central United States f...

Accuracy of RUC-1 and RUC-2 wind and aircraft trajectory forecasts as determined by ACARS observations

Effects on climate records of changes in National Weather Service humidity processing procedures

The U.S. National Weather Service has recently corrected an error in radiosonde humidity data reduction algorithms, eliminated a sonde thats processing contained another error, and recently made a further change in the humidity data reduction algorithm. They also introduced new procedures for reporting humidity from radiosondes. These changes w...
