From six typhoon cases during 2014 to 2019, 34 groups datasets, the Airda3000 boundary layer wind profiler and GPS balloon sounding data are selected to be compared. Preliminary analysis shows that 30 out of 34 datasets satisfy the prerequisite condition of greater than 80% data completion. These 30 datasets have an average standard deviation of about 3.64m/s and average difference of 4.67m/s. Furthermore, 20 out of 34 datasets achieved good results (standard deviation < 4 and correlation >0.5) with much overlap of 2 lines above 250m altitude, and less overlap of 2 lines below that altitude, Moreover, the sounding wind speed is observed to be much smaller than the wind profiler data for altitudes below 250m, likely due to the fact that sounding accelerates from stationary to consistent with environmental winds at altitudes below 250m in typhoon environment. This may also be due to disturbance in lower atmosphere of wind profiler which earlier studies mentioned. Thus, while ignoring the lowest 250m region, the standard deviation of profiler and balloon sounding decreased remarkably. This may implied that wind profiler may have very high feasibility in the region of boundary layer from 250 m to the top of boundary layer under typhoon environment. In addition, data with lower validity are always located in the region which is about more than 200km away from typhoon center, while the distribution of high validity data observation does not showed an obvious pattern and located from typhoon center to the outer region. There are also no relationship found between data validity and precipitation intensity. These two founding may implied that wind profiler may have great utility and potential under the condition of heavy precipitation and severe wind. Despite very limited data we collected in study, wind profiler shows an very hopeful potential and higher validity in the observation and diagnosis of boundary layer even in severe convective weather environment such as typhoon inner core regions.","PeriodicalId":257532,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Meteorology Observations (ICMO)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114814590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The assimilation results and precipitation forecast are compared and analyzed in order to study the influence of weather radar data assimilation on precipitation prediction. Four experiments of assimilation are carried out: 1) Control experiment: no assimilation of any data; 2) Only radar reflectivity data is assimilated; 3) Assimilating the radar radial velocity data; 4) Simultaneously assimilating the radar reflectivity and radial velocity data. The results show that the assimilation of the reflectivity data from the weather radar can effectively adjust the spatial distribution and magnitude of water vapor and temperature field in the background field. Assimilating the radar radial velocity data mainly improves the wind field of initial field. The assimilation of reflectivity can better adjust the precipitation forecast compared with the assimilation of radial velocity. Assimilating both reflectivity and radial velocity at the same time shows the best positive effect on precipitation forecast.","PeriodicalId":257532,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Meteorology Observations (ICMO)","volume":"116 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116581684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper introduces a fast and high-resolution intensity field fusion algorithm for the AWR based on Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). By utilizing the feature of asynchronous execution between CPU and GPU, the fusion algorithm is parallelized and optimized on Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA). First, based on the intensity data from the AWR front end volume scans, resolution expansion coefficients in azimuths and elevations are calculated in each GPU thread. Then, the vertical and horizontal filling is completed simultaneously. Finally, the fusion of three front end intensity data is achieved in a common coordinate system. The entire process has been implemented on NVIDIA GPU architecture. The result shows that the GPU-based method for the AWR greatly improves the speed of calculation compared with the conventional CPUbased implementation, which can satisfy the requirements of meteorological applications in real-time.","PeriodicalId":257532,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Meteorology Observations (ICMO)","volume":"697 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121991483","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Clouds have obvious influence on atmospheric radiative transfer process and thus affect the inversion of vertical distribution, making it essential to study and classify the cloud properties. In this study, a cloud identification and classification algorithm script was developed based on several key quantities derived from MAX-DOAS observations, like radiance, color index and the absorption of oxygen dimer $text{O}_{mathbf {4}}$ et al. The algorithm was applied to two-month’s MAX-DOAS observations in southern urban Beijing $( 39.81 ^{circ}mathrm {N}, 116.47 ^{circ}mathrm {E})$, the megacity in North China, in summer 2017. A cloud classification dataset was created with relatively high time resolution. Aerosol profiles, near surface aerosol extinction and AOD (aerosol optical density) were derived as well by applying PriAM methods of MPIC. The results were compared systematically to several remote sensing techniques, like MODIS, sun photometer and Millimeter wave cloud radar, which have rarely been done before. General consistency and good agreement were achieved under respective aerosol and cloud scenarios, assuring the reliability of the cloud identification and classification algorithm script and the dependable capability of MAX-DOAS to provide aerosol and cloud information. This further indicates that more thorough studies should be carried out to diminish the influence of aerosol and cloud and improve the retrieval accuracy of vertical column densities and profiles from MAX-DOAS in the future.","PeriodicalId":257532,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Meteorology Observations (ICMO)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125470284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the process of observing soil moisture, the accuracy of data is seriously affected by the calibration methods, equipment stability, soil texture, etc. Therefore, it is especially important to establish a quality control method for the automatic soil moisture observation data from the origin of affecting the observation quality. To solve the outstanding quality problems in the automatic soil moisture observation data, firstly, based on the historical data, the inherent variation characteristics of soil moisture were studied. Secondly, combined with the instrument observation principle, data characteristics and error sources of abnormal data, classified and statistical analyzed the form of abnormal data caused by various reasons and given the threshold, this paper preliminarily puts forward a practical set of quality control methods for the hourly soil moisture observation data. Finally, the application effect of the quality control method was verified by using the data in china in 2019. The result shows that: (1) Four mainly categories of abnormal data are gross errors, mutation, abnormal high values, and stiffness, which are mostly caused by instrument failure, abnormal soil hydrological constant, and unreasonable calibration of sensors.
