Impact of Assimilating Microwave Radiances with a Limited-Area Ensemble Data Assimilation System on Forecasts of Typhoon Morakot
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Two parallel experiments were designed to evaluate whether assimilating microwave radiances with a cyclic, limited-area ensemble adjustment Kalman filter (EAKF) could improve track, intensity, and precipitation forecasts of Typhoon Morakot (2009). The experiments were configured identically, except that one assimilated microwave radiances and the other did not. Both experiments produced EAKF analyses every 6 h between 1800 UTC 3 August and 1200 UTC 9 August 2009, and the mean analyses initialized 72-h Weather Research and Forecasting model forecasts. Examination of individual forecasts and average error statistics revealed that assimilating microwave radiances ultimately resulted in better intensity forecasts compared to when radiances were withheld. However, radiance assimilation did not substantially impact track forecasts, and the impact on precipitation forecasts was mixed. Overall, net positive results suggest that assimilating microwave radiances with a limited-area EAKF system is beneficial for tropical cyclone prediction, but additional studies are needed.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
