WRFDA radiance assimilation workflow for East Africa limited area NWP forecasting and diagnostics # East Africa WRFDA Radiance Data Assimilation System ## Overview A regional 3D-VAR data assimilation framework for improving numerical weather prediction over East Africa using WRF, WRFDA, CRTM, and satellite microwave radiance observations. ## Workflow The cycling system performs: 1. WPS preprocessing (geogrid, ungrib, metgrid) 2. WRF `real.exe` initialization 3. Conventional observation assimilation (GTS/PREPBUFR) 4. Satellite radiance assimilation - FengYun MWTS-2 - FengYun MWHS-2 - AMSU-A - ATMS 5. WRF forecast integration 6. Diagnostics and verification ## Cycling Strategy The system is organized into 6-hourly assimilation cycles: - 00 UTC - 06 UTC - 12 UTC - 18 UTC ## Running the System Main driver: ```bash ./run_cycle.sh
