Assimilation of Himawari-8 Rapid-Scan Atmospheric Motion Vectors on Tropical Cyclone in HWRF System

This study investigates the assimilation impact of rapid-scan (RS) atmospheric motion vectors (AMVs) derived from the geostationary satellite Himawari-8 on tropical cyclone (TC) forecasts. Forecast experiments for three TCs in 2016 in the western North Pacific basin are performed using the National...
