Improving the use of Dropsondes in NOAA Operations with HWRF (Sippel FY17)
This project implements an algorithm to estimate drift of the dropsondes in the data assimilation system of the operational Hurricane Weather Research and Forecasting model. With the help of JTTI funds this dropsonde drift algorithm was operational tested and implemented in the National Weather Service (NWS) operations. NWS is now able to assimilate more dropsonde observations…
