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

Figure 8

Spatial patterns of the mixing ratio differences (g kg⁻¹) for Domain 1 between the runs with and without assimilating the TAMDAR data. The differences are averaged over the 500 to 850 hPa layer and over the 6-day simulation period. Red colors indicate an increase in mixing ratio by assimilating the TAMDAR data while blue colors indicate a decrease.
