Diagnostics of background error covariances in a connected global and regional data assimilation system
Bučánek, Antonín ; Brožková, Radmila (advisor) ; Sokol, Zbyněk (referee) ; Derková, Mária (referee)
The thesis deals with the preparation of initial conditions for nume- rical weather prediction in high resolution limited area models. It focuses on the problem of preserving the large-scale part of the global driving model analysis, which can not be determined in sufficient quality in limited-area models. For this purpose, the so-called BlendVar scheme is used. The scheme consists of the appli- cation of the Digital Filter (DF) Blending method, which assures the transmission of a large-scale part of the analysis of the driving model to the limited area model, and of the three-dimensional variational method (3D-Var) at high resolution. The thesis focuses on the appropriate background error specification, which is one of the key components of 3D-Var. Different approaches to modeling of background errors are examined, including the possibility of taking into account the flow- dependent character of background errors. Approaches are also evaluated from the point of view of practical implementation. Study of evolution of background errors during DF Blending and BlendVar assimilation cycles leads to a new pro- posal for the preparation of a background error covariance matrix suitable for the BlendVar assimilation scheme. The use of the new background error covariance matrix gives the required property...

Study of AMDAR data in NWP model ALADIN
Bučánek, Antonín ; Brožková, Radmila (advisor) ; Brechler, Josef (referee)
The impact of assimilation (using 3D-Var method) of aircraft measurements on forecasts of the numerical model ALADIN is studied in the present work. Methods of measuring several meteorological parameters by aircrafts and their recording to AMDAR message are shown. So called BLUE equation for production of an analysis (the best assessment of the state of atmosphere represented by a numerical model) is deduced. The equivalence between the BLUE equation and a minimization of the quadratic functional used by 3D-Var is shown. Essentials steps of integrating meteorological measurements to assimilation procedure are outlined. The process of assimilation used in Czech Hydrometeorological Institute is shown and the results of aircraft measurements assimilation are presented.
