MADIS collects data from over 13,000 sites presently (and still growing). Still, the data are
largely distributed like “oases and deserts”.
![Page 6: Create a mesoscale analysis that: Assimilates all available surface data at high time frequency](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56815930550346895dc662ad/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Why conventional objective analysis schemes are inadequate to deal with the desert-oasis problem
Successive correction (SC) schemes (e.g., Barnes used in LAPS) and optimum interpolation (OI) schemes (e.g., as used in MADIS RSAS/MSAS) suffer from common problems:
1. Inhomogeneous station distributions cause problems for a fixed value of the final weighting function or the covariance function scale
2. SC and OI schemes will introduce noise in the deserts if forced to try to show details that are resolvable in the data oases everywhere
3. None of the SC or OI schemes include the high-resolution time information explicitly, with the exception of the modified Barnes scheme of Koch and Saleeby (2001), which required assumptions about the advection vectors in time-to-space conversion approach
![Page 7: Create a mesoscale analysis that: Assimilates all available surface data at high time frequency](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56815930550346895dc662ad/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
7
STMAS solution: Multi-scale space and time analysis capability
• Ability to represent large scales resolvable by the data distribution characteristic of the desert regions
• Two schemes tested: telescopic recursive filter and wavelet fitting• Recursive filter uses residual remaining after removal of the large-
scale component for telescopic analysis:– Compute residual reduce the filter scale do analysis of residuals at
this next smaller scale repeat N times until analysis error falls below the expected error in observations (N = 3-6)
– Include temporal weight in similar manner for the recursive filter– Variational cost function assures fit to observations
• Wavelet fitting technique provides for locally variable levels of detail, non-isotropic searching, and temporal weighting (still under development, though tested on analytic functions)

For a 1D grid function u = ui{ } , rightward pass through the data is expressed as:
FaR : yi =ayi−1 + 1−a( )ui
where a ∈ 0,1( ) is the sm oothing param eter.
Sim ilarly, a leftward pass through the data is expressed as:
FaL : yi =ayi+1 + 1−a( )ui
A recursive filter for n passes through the data is given as
Fan = Fa
L × FaR( )
n
For a 3D grid function u= ui, j,k{ } in x,y,and t:
F=Fat
nt × Fax
nx × Fay
ny .
The procedure, given t=∈ 12 ,1( ) and large values of ax ,ay,at( ) :
• Solve the data assim ilation with ax ,ay,at( )
• Save the analysis fields and com pute the residuals
• Set ax ,ay,at( )=t ax ,ay,at( )
• Repeat the above steps using the residuals• Finally, add the saved interm ediate results together to yield the final analysis.

Improvements to STMAS
• Use of Spline Wavelets– Accommodate common meteorological structures– Improve analysis in data rich and data sparse
areas• Data Quality Control Using a Kalman Scheme
– Operate in observation space– Provide data projections for future cycles– Optimum model for each station

Scattered data fitting using Spline Wavelets
• Basis functions: second order spline wavelets on bounded interval (by Chui and Quak)
• Penalty function in variational formulation: a weighted combination of least square error and magnitude of the high order derivatives
• Inner scaling functions control dilation and translation of the cardinal B-splines:
• Boundary scaling functions control dilation of the cardinal B-spline with multiple knots at the endpoints

More about STMAS• Ability to use background fields from a model (e.g., RUC) or a
previous analysis (these features were adapted from LAPS and are important to have in the data-void desert regions)
• Background fields are modified to account for very detailed terrain (another useful feature borrowed from LAPS)
• Background field includes lake and sea surface temperatures and a land-weighting scheme to prevent situations such as warm land grid points having an influence on cooler water areas (via LAPS)
• Currently, STMAS compares observations to background for its QC method. Kalman filter will provide both a much more sophisticated QC and the ability to fully utilize temporal detail in the data.
• Reduced pressure calculation for a given reference height, as in LAPS (may see perturbation pressure sometime in the future)
• Value of STMAS is being measured relative to the LAPS analysis• Analyses currently conducted over CIWS domain every 15 minutes
on a 5-km grid (a variety of grid product fields are computed)

Summary
• STMAS is capable of high time and space resolution of important parameters for mesoscale weather
• Shows good time continuity• Features correlate well with independent
observations such as radar• Need to enhance analysis with wavelet
scheme• Need to get robust Kalman QC into scheme
![Page 82: Create a mesoscale analysis that: Assimilates all available surface data at high time frequency](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56815930550346895dc662ad/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)

Future
• Ensure compatibility with AWIPS• Work in more model background options
(RUC and Eta)• Utilize STMAS fields for automated boundary
diagnostics• Work toward a spatial 3-D scheme
