Impact of the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit Measurements on Hurricane Prediction

Abstract: Due to the lack of meteorological observations over the tropical oceans, almost all the current hurricane models require bogusing of a vortex into the large-scale analysis of the model initial state. In this study, an algorithm to construct hurricane vortices is developed using the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU-A) data. Under rain-free atmospheric conditions, the temperature profile could be retrieved with a root-meansquare error of 1.5ЊC. Under heavy rainfall conditions, measurements from channels 3-… Show more

“…The hurricane initial vortex is retrieved from the Advanced Microwave Sensing Unit-A (AMSU-A) measurements and several observed hurricane parameters (see Zhu et al, 2002). In the control simulation, the SST field is updated daily using the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Microwave Imager (TMI) level 1 standard product at 0.25…”

“…For instance, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) synoptic surveillance missions are very useful in improving individual tropical cyclone track forecasts (Franklin and DeMaria 1992;Franklin et al 1993;Burpee et al 1996;Aberson 2002;Aberson and Sampson 2003;Aberson and Etherton 2006). Satellite-derived observations have also improved tropical cyclone analyses and forecasts (e.g., Velden et al 1992;Velden et al 1998;Pu et al 2002;Pu and Tao 2004;Zhu et al 2002;Hou et al 2004, Chen 2007. However, relatively little progress has been made in hurricane intensity forecasts (Houze et al 2006).…”

This study concentrates on polar oceanic regions where conventional observations are scarce and for which a single study has been conducted (Moore and Von der Haar, 2003).…”
