Dynamics of Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets using the borehole, radio sounding and space observations by A. N. Markov, D. Dahl-Jensen, V. M. Kotlyakov, V. N. Golubev, M. G. Leonov, V. V. Lukin

“…Note that these features do not correspond to the traditional but still hypothetical notions (ideas) of the monotonous and uniform spatial changes in the ice sheet dynamics. Using results of the long-term monitoring of the borehole coordinate axes at the Vostok station (down to 1920 m), east profile Vostok – Vostok 1 – Pionerskaya – Mirny (1409 km, down to the depth of 450 m), and analysis of radar sections, Russian specialists revealed the following: a) the Antarctic ice sheet has stratified changes in speed and a fan-like change in the flow direction along the depth; b) plastic firn layer has individual parameters of dynamics and actually flows down from more monolithic body of the ice sheet (the flow directions differ by 30–80°); c) in some places inside the sheet, the underlying ice masses flow faster than the upper ones. …”

The Impact of Assimilating Himawari-8 Radiance Data on the Prediction of a Severe Storm over Sichuan-Chongqing Region by Hao LIANG, Dongmei XU, Aiqing SHU, Xuewei ZHANG, Lixin SONG

“…Himawari-8 is a new generation of stationary orbit imager， AHI （Advanced Himawari Imager） onboard is able to is able to provide observations with high spatial and temporal resolution to detect weather systems continuously over Sichuan - Chongqing Region.In this study， a numerical simulation is conducted for a severe regional storm event over Sichuan-Chongqing region on April 19， 2019 based on the weather Research and Forecasting （WRF） model.Furtherly， several radiance data assimilation experiments were performed for the storm with the WRF data assimilation （WRFDA） system from Himawari-8 AHI water vapor channels.Infrared radiance quality control and cloud detection procedures are conducted firstly.Cycling data assimilation schemes are further designed to investigate the impact of assimilating AHI radiance on the analyses and prediction of the weather system.The results show that the simulated brightness temperature of AHI water channels based on the radiative transfer model of CRTM in the analysis is more consistent with the observed brightness temperature than the those simulated from the background.It is also found that that assimilation of Himawari-8 AHI water vapor channels contributes to better describing the model initial conditions including the wind field， the water vapor field， and the radar reflectivity on multiple levels.Compared to the control experiment without any data assimilation， the forecast skill is enhanced in terms of predicting the main patterns of the precipitation after assimilating the AHI water vapor radiance data.To be specific， the assimilation experiment could capture the position of the main rainband and the center of heavy precipitation better.Through the AHI water vapor data assimilation， the heavy precipitation centers that are missed in the control experiment are successfully predicted.In addition， AHI radiance data assimilation experiment effectively improves the overestimated heavy precipitation from the control experiment in eastern Sichuan and southeastern Gansu for both the range and intensity.This study aims to provide the useful reference for the pretreatment and assimilation of geostationary infrared radiance data in the rainstorm system in numerical models over Sichuan-Chongqing Region.…”
