satellites, aircraft, balloon, etc.
designed for hurricane track analysis and prediction.
• Mesoscale observations:
radar, SFMR, DWL, manned and unmanned aircraft.
designed for hurricane intensity.

Space and Time Multi-scale Analysis System (STMAS)
• Developed for FAA storm boundary detection;• A two-step DA processes: retrieval and statistical analysis
(Standard 3/4-DVAR is a statistical analysis only);• Variational analysis naturally transiting from information retrieval to
statistical analysis; • Extended from mesoscale analysis to full spectrum analysis from
global scales down to hurricanes, even tornado scales;• A sequential 4DVAR with a model constraint in a near future.

STMAS for hurricane/typhoon
Due to dramatic difference of hurricanes, statistical information is difficult to obtain. Thus, hurricane DA, particularly intensity, more rely on the observations.
STMAS’ retrieval capability seems even more attractive for hurricane DA.

Approximation TheoryAny smooth function can be decomposed by a series of base functions that
is complete.
where k can be Fourier based functions, wavelets, or any smooth function with decreasing scales with k.
STMAS uses a sequence of truncated series
to approximate the the information contained in obs and background

Multigrid TechniqueUsing the number of grid points to control the base
functions: more gridpoints allow shorter waves

A scheme for radar only analysis
• For a typhoon case of 2002, only radar data available;
• First order approximation of wind by a symmetry assumption, derived wind;
• STMAS adds radar radial wind on top of the first order approximation.

Temporal Consistency Adv.
• STMAS allows users to specify the temporal window and temporal scales of their analysis;
• For limited observation resource, a longer temporal analysis window could benefit STMAS analysis to close to the reality;
• STMAS analysis of Hurricane Katrina over 1 hour and 3 hour time steps demonstrates that a longer temporal scale analysis is more realistic.

STMAS Model Constraintsa sequential 4DVAR
• STMAS Katrina analysis is straightforward obs information retrieval; STMAS Dennis and the typhoon analyses retrieve the information from obs with simple constraints, geostrophic over large scale, hydrostatic and continuity over small scale.
• With a full dynamic model constraint, STMAS could be a sequential 4DVAR and provide a temporally dynamically consistent analysis for hurricanes.

Future Plan
• Radar reflectivity analysis operator associated with LAPS cloud analysis/Hot start;
• Satellite radiance analysis using CRTM with help from NESDIS;• Model constraints; adjoint development: manual and/or auto-adjoint
generator;• More hurricane and typhoon case studies;• Initialization of a hurricane HR model with STMAS analysis;• Comparison with other DA, such as EnKF;• Model forecast impact;• … …
