Title:Data Assimilation in models with convective adjustment
Publication:Mon. Wea. Rev., 122, 2607-2613
Abstract:Practical hydrostatic ocean models are often restricted to statically stable configurations by the use of a convective adjustment. A common way to do this is to assign an infinite heat conductivity to the water at a given level if the water column should become statically unstable. This is implemented in the form of a switch.

Publication:Mon. Wea. Rev., 122, 2784-2803
Abstract:An assimilation technique is described in which satellite-observed surface skin temperature tendencies are used in a model surface energy budget so that the predicted rate of temperature change in the model more closely agrees with the satellite observations. Both visible and infrared GOES satellite data are used in the assimilation.

Abstract:The steady-state fit of Arakawa and Lamb's shallow-water equation model to time-mean sea surface height (SSH) has been examined, seeking better performance of the steady-state fit without requiring longer time integrations. It is shown that the minimization problem with steadiness penalties involving one time step is ill conditioned.

Diabatic forcing, in conjunction with diabatic contributions in the initialization, is found to help the forecast retain the diabatic signal found in the liquid water or heating rate data...

Abstract:The benefits of assimilation of precipitation data had been demonstrated in diabatic initialization and nudging-type experiments some years ago. In four-dimensional viariational (4DVAR) data assimilation, however, the precipitation data have not yet been used. To correctly assimilate the precipitation data by the 4DVAR technique, the problems related to the first-order discontinuities in the 'full-physics' forecast should be solved first.

In both systems, linear approximation of the dynamics about the ciritcal points near which regime transitions occur is not alwyas sufficient to track their
