Workshop: Observational campaigns for better weather forecasts
Session
Dropsonde observations from three research aircrafts in the north-Atlantic region as well as several hundred additionally launched radiosondes over Canada and Europe were collected during the transatlantic field campaign NAWDEX in autumn 2016. In addition, over 500 dropsondes were deployed during NOAA’s SHOUT and Reconnaissance missions in the west-Atlantic basin, complementing the...
The Atmospheric River Reconnaissance project “AR Recon” formulated a targeting method focused on AR landfall prediction on the U.S. West Coast, where AR landfall position forecast errors at 1-4 days lead time range from 200-400 km on average (Wick et al. 2013, DeFlorio et al. 2018), and can contribute to significant errors in extreme precipitation forecasts (e.g., Ralph et al. 2010, 2011). ...
