Description
Summary:Satellite data play an irreplaceable role in global observation data systems. Effective comprehensive application of satellite products will inevitably improve numerical weather prediction. FengYun-4 (FY-4) series satellites can provide not only radiance data but also retrieval data with high temporal and spatial resolutions. To evaluate the potential benefits of the combination application of FY-4 Advanced Geostationary Radiance Imager (AGRI) products on Typhoon Saola analysis and forecast, two group of experiments are set up with the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF). Compared with the benchmark experiment, whose sea surface temperature (SST) is from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) reanalysis data, the SST replacement experiments with FY-4 A/B SST products significantly improve the track and precipitation forecast, especially with the FY-4B SST product. Based on the above results, AGRI clear-sky and all-sky assimilations with FY-4B SST are implemented with a self-constructed AGRI assimilation module. The results show that the AGRI all-sky assimilation experiment can obtain better analyses and forecasts. Furthermore, it is proven that the combination application of AGRI radiance and SST products is beneficial for typhoon prediction.
