Assimilation of radar and satellite data in mesoscale models: A physical initialization scheme

The quality of numerical precipitation prediction depends on the accuracy of the model reproducing the true initial state of the atmosphere prior to the forecast. Typically a numerical model needs a spin-up time of several hours until its hydrological cycle is established. Assimilation of precipitat...
