Using satellite data assimilation techniques to combine infrasound observations and a full ray-tracing model to constrain stratospheric variables
Infrasound waves generated at the Earth’s surface can reach high altitudes before returning to the surface to be recorded by microbarometer array stations. These waves carry information about the propagation medium, in particular, temperature and winds in the atmosphere. It is only recently that studies on the assimilation of such data into atmospheric models have been published. Intending to advance this line of research, we here use the Modulated Ensemble Transform Kalman Filter (METKF) –commonly used in satellite data assimilation– to assimilate infrasound-related observations in order to update a column of three vertically varying variables: temperature and horizontal wind speeds. This includes stratospheric and mesospheric heights, which are otherwise poorly observed. The numerical experiments on synthetic data but with realistic reanalysis product atmospheric specifications (following the Observing System Simulation Experiment paradigm) reveal that a large ensemble is capable of reducing errors, especially for the wind speeds in stratospheric heights close to 30 – 60 km. While using a small ensemble leads to incorrect analysis increments and large estimation errors, the METKF ameliorates this problem and even achieves error reduction from the prior to the posterior mean estimator.
期刊介绍:
Monthly Weather Review (MWR) (ISSN: 0027-0644; eISSN: 1520-0493) publishes research relevant to the analysis and prediction of observed atmospheric circulations and physics, including technique development, data assimilation, model validation, and relevant case studies. This research includes numerical and data assimilation techniques that apply to the atmosphere and/or ocean environments. MWR also addresses phenomena having seasonal and subseasonal time scales.
