A Dynamic Assimilation Method for a Mesoscale Model Using Observed Rainfall Rates

Abstract
A dynamic assimilation method using observed rainfall rates is proposed, aiming at improving short range forecast of precipitation. In this method, a mesoscale model is integrated for an earlier period of prediction with the inclusion of latent heat estimated from the observed rainfall rates. The result of preliminary tests is encouraging.
