SET UP GSI GLOBAL ANALYSIS

Introduction

This exercise consists of running the GSI 3DVar analysis with T62 global (GFS) background field, conventional data from prepbufr, satellite radiances, and gpsro data.

Background and Data

The global background files are:

surface forecast files at 3 time levels: 3, 6, 9 hours

sfcf03 sfcf06 sfcf09

atmosphere forecast files at 3 time levels: 3, 6, 9 hours

sigf03 sigf06 sigf09

The observation files are:

  • prepbufr   (conventional data)
  • airsbufr   (gdas1.t06z.airsev.tm00.bufr_d)
  • gomebufr   (gdas1.t06z.gome.tm00.bufr_d)
  • gsnd1bufr  (gdas1.t06z.goesfv.tm00.bufr_d)
  • iasibufr   (gdas1.t06z.mtiasi.tm00.bufr_d)
  • sbuvbufr   (gdas1.t06z.osbuv8.tm00.bufr_d)
  • ssmisbufr  (gdas1.t06z.spssmi.tm00.bufr_d)
  • amsuabufr  (gdas1.t06z.1bamua.tm00.bufr_d)
  • gpsrobufr  (gdas1.t06z.gpsro.tm00.bufr_d)
  • hirs4bufr  (gdas1.t06z.1bhrs4.tm00.bufr_d)
  • mhsbufr    (gdas1.t06z.1bmhs.tm00.bufr_d)
  • seviribufr (gdas1.t06z.sevcsr.tm00.bufr_d)
  • tmirrbufr  (gdas1.t06z.sptrmm.tm00.bufr_d)
