摘要
As the latest generation of Chinese Geostationary Weather Satellites, Fengyun-4 carries the Advanced Geosynchronous Radiation Imager (AGRI), which has more spectral bands and higher temporal and spatial resolution than the Visible Infrared Spin-Scan Radiometer (VISSR) onboard geostationary satellite FY-2. Direct assimilation of the FY-4A AGRI datasets has been proved to be an efficient way to improve heavy rainfall simulation. We aim to assess the joint assimilation of AGRI infrared radiance and ground-based MWR (Microwave Radiometer) data on short-duration heavy rainfall prediction. RTTOV (Radiative Transfer for the TIROS Operational Vertical Sounder) is used as the observational operator for FY-4A AGRI data assimilation. The data assimilation interface is built in WRFDA 4.3 to achieve direct assimilation of FY4A AGRI radiance. The forecasting effectiveness of the joint assimilation for a typical heavy rainfall event over northern China is analyzed with four simulation experiments. The main conclusions are: 1) Assimilating MWR data can improve the initial humidity condition in the middle-lower layers, while AGRI radiance assimilation favors the initial humidity correction in the middle-upper layers. The joint assimilation of two datasets can remarkably improve the initial humidity condition in the entire column. 2) Data assimilation effectively improves the 6-h accumulated rainfall simulation. The joint assimilation of AGRI radiance and MWR data is superior to assimilating either of them. The joint assimilation significantly improves the rainfall forecast over the Beijing area, where the seven MWRs are distributed. 3) Data assimilation experiments present similar effects on predicted and initial humidity conditions. The MWR_DA experiment (only assimilate MWR data) markedly improves the humidity forecast in the middle-lower layers, while AGRI_DA (only assimilate AGRI data) is effective in the middle-upper layers. The joint assimilation of AGRI radiance and MWR data could skillfully correct the humidity distribution in the entire layers, allowing for more accurate heavy rainfall prediction. This paper provides a valuable basis for further improving the application of FY-4A AGRI radiance in numerical weather models.
