Case 1: ARW Case with conventional data (PrepBUFR)

Introduction

This case of 00z analysis on February 13th, 2014 was used here as the example case to introduce how to setup run scripts for the GSI observer and EnKF and how to check the EnKF analysis results to determine if a particular EnKF application was successful. In this case, only conventional observations from PrepBUFR are assimilated. Information on assimilating more data will be introduced in the tutorial case 02.

Setting Up the Case Data and Run Directory

  • Create the data directory ./enkfdata and download, untar the data files. The case data is now populated in:

               (PATH)/enkfdata/arw 
          
  • Create a working directory or use an existing directory as the working directory.
  • In this case, we use run as working directory.
