1. Toward Sequential Data Assimilation for NWP Models Using Kalman Filter Tools
Abstract : The aim of the meteorological data assimilation is to provide an initial field for Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) and to sequentially update the knowledge about it using available observations. Kalman filtering is a robust technique for the sequential estimation of the unobservable model state based on the linear regression concept. READ MORE

2. Boundary Layer Parametrization in Numerical Weather Prediction Models
Abstract : Numerical weather prediction (NWP) and climate models have shown to have a challenge to correctly simulate stable boundary layers and diurnal cycles. This aim of this study is to evaluate, describe and give suggestions for improvements of the descriptions of stable boundary layers in operational NWP models. Two papers are included. READ MORE

3. Dynamical aspects of atmospheric data assimilation in the tropics
Abstract : A faithful depiction of the tropical atmosphere requires three-dimensional sets of observations. Despite the increasing amount of observations presently available, these will hardly ever encompass the entire atmosphere and, in addition, observations have errors. Additional (background) information will always be required to complete the picture. READ MORE

4. On errors in meteorological data assimilation
Abstract : Data assimilation in Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) optimally blends observations with atmospheric model data in order to obtain the best possible initial state for an atmospheric model prediction. Specification of error characteristics is an important part of data assimilation. READ MORE

5. Description and Analysis of Data and Errors in GPS Meteorology
Abstract : This report presents the relation between remote sensing techniques used for estimation of atmospheric water vapor content, and numerical weather prediction. The thesis makes an overview of the methods for estimation of the zenith wet/total delay (ZWD/ZTD) for radio waves in the neutral atmosphere, and a statistical description of data in relation to the sampling problem for atmospheric water vapor.
