Abstract

An objective analysis/numerical prediction scheme, originally developed in the context of OA TE, has been adapted to cover the monsoon region. The analysis scheme uses optimum interpolation to provide independently analysed winds and geopotential heights which are then mutually adjusted using a variational technique. Relative humidity is also objectively analysed. The prediction model is an 11-layer primitive equation model in sigma-Coordinates, applied on a 2° Lat./Long. grid and incorporating the main physical processes. Results of integrations from some recent real data cases are to be presented and discussed.
