Evaluation of the Impacts of Assimilating the TAMDAR Data on 12/4 km Grid WRF-Based RTFDDA Simulations over the CONUS

Figure 6

Spatial patterns of the mean absolute error differences in temperature (K) for Domain 1 averaged over the 400 to 600 hPa layer and over the 6-day simulation period. Blue colors indicate improvement of the model biases by assimilating the TAMDAR data while red colors indicate degradation.
