An Approach for Assimilating FY4 Lightning and Cloud Top Height Data Using 3DVAR

An Approach for Assimilating FY4 Lightning and Cloud Top Height Data Using 3DVAR

The vertical distribution of water vapor affects the intensity of the updraft, downdraft and cold pool in convection, so how to adjust lightning proxy-humidity in the vertical direction is very important for convective scale numerical weather prediction (NWP). In this study, a data assimilation appr...
