Numerical Simulation of Near-Surface Wind during a Severe Wind Event in a Complex Terrain by Multisource Data Assimilation and Dynamic Downscaling

<div>The spatial distribution of in situ sounding observations in the WRF + 3DVAR experiment at (a) 0000 UTC 20 Oct 2010 and (b) 1200 UTC 20 Oct 2010. The red dots represent the distributions of in situ soundings that pass the quality control and are absorbed/used in the 3DVAR assimilation system. The blue dots represent the distributions of in situ soundings that do not pass the quality control. No in situ soundings are available at 0600 UTC 20 Oct 2010.</div>
