Several Methods for Initializing Mesoscale Forecast Models

  • Chapter
Mesoscale Meteorology — Theories, Observations and Models

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 114))

Abstract

Three methods for initializing mesoscale forecast models are discussed: a forward-marching dynamic initialization, an iterative dynamic initialization, and a normal mode initialization from a spectral forecast model.
