A comprehensive 4D-Var vortex initialization using a nonhydrostatic axisymmetric TC model with convection accounted for

A four-dimensional variational (4D-Var) vortex initialization (VI) system is developed for a nonhydrostatic axisymmetric numerical model with convection accounted for (the RE87 model). Derivations of the tangent linear and adjoint models of the RE87 model and the correctness checks are presented. As...
