Assimilating All-Sky Infrared Radiance Observations to Improve Ensemble Analyses and Short-Term Predictions of Thunderstorms by Huanhuan Zhang, Qin Xu, Thomas A. Jones, Lingkun Ran

“…The experimental rapid-cycling Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF) in the convection-allowing ensemble-based Warn-on-Forecast System (WoFS) at the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) is used to assimilate all-sky infrared radiance observations from the GOES-16 7.3 μm water vapor channel in combination with radar wind and reflectivity observations to improve the analysis and subsequent forecast of severe thunderstorms (which occurred in Oklahoma on 2 May 2018). …”
