The Impact of Assimilating Atmospheric Infrared Sounder Observation on the Forecast of Typhoon Tracks

This work assesses the effects of assimilating atmospheric infrared sounder (AIRS) observations on typhoon prediction using the three-dimensional variational data assimilation (3DVAR) and forecasting system of the weather research and forecasting (WRF) model. Two major parameters in the data assimil...
