Variational assimilation of web camera-derived estimates of visibility for Alaska aviation

Variational assimilation of web camera-derived estimates of visibility for Alaska aviation

The Real Time Mesoscale Analysis (RTMA), a two-dimensional variational analysis algorithm, is used to provide hourly analyses of surface sensible weather elements for situational awareness at spatial resolutions of 3 km over Alaska. In this work we focus on the analysis of horizontal visibility in A...
