MeteoSwiss takes part in the evaluation and development of the "Latent Heat Nudging" rainfall assimilation method for high-resolution numerical weather prediction models.
The figures illustrate the potential of inserting radar data into a numerical weather prediction model. Shown are 1 h precipitation sums of a severe convective storm as observed by the Swiss Radar Network (a) and as simulated with the high-resolution COSMO-2 (grid spacing 2.2 km) without (b) and with (c) radar assimilation.
