Impact of radar data assimilation on sub-kilometer-scale numerical simulation of a squall line by Ting YOU, Zheng WU, Danhua ZHAI, Song GAO, Mao YE

“…Our major conclusions are as follows: (1) Without radar data assimilation, the simulation results are still not significantly improved with the horizontal resolution increasing from 900 m to 300 m. (2) In comparison, with radar assimilation, the simulations under different horizontal resolutions have a certain improvement in the shape, intensity and falling area of the radar echo. (3) Combining an adequate higher resolution with the initial radar data assimilation can further optimize and adjust the dynamic thermal water vapor conditions of the simulation, making the simulated characteristics of evolution process and organizational structure of this squall line closer to the observations. …”
