ABSTRACT
An analysis is developed to initialize a cloud-resolving model from an explicit structure of a precipitating convective system derived from multiple-Doppler radar observations. The different fields of the model prognostic variables that compose the initial state of the simulation are estimated or retrieved using a 4DVAR assimilation method in which the model is used as a weak constraint using two time level observations. This allows for the retrieval of physical fields consistent with the observations and the equations of the model.
This method is applied on a midlatitude summer storm sampled by the McGill bistatic Doppler radar network that occurred on 2 August 1997. During the ...
