Precipitation data assimilation in WRFDA 4D-Var: implementation and application to convection-permitting forecasts over United States

Precipitation data assimilation has been developed in the Weather Research and Forecasting model data assimilation system (WRFDA) using four-dimensional variational (4D-Var) approach. Unlike other conventional data, precipitation is an integral quantity and it is not included as a control variable i...
