The Impact of Assimilating Atmospheric Infrared Sounder Observation on the Forecast of Typhoon Tracks

Figure 1

(a) The 850 hPa retrieval temperature from AIRS observation within the 3 hours time window for data assimilation for the runs initialized at 1800 UTC, 11 September 2008. Blue filled circle is the center of typhoon. (b) is same as (a) but for temperature at 500 hPa. The nested domains for WRF model simulations are superimposed in panel (b).
