Abstract

In this paper the assimilation of high-resolution water vapor profiles from the NASA LASE instrument with the MM5 4DVAR system for a case study during the International water vapor experiment (IHOP 2002) is described. Experiments demonstrated that the assimilation of only these water vapor profiles strongly influences the 4d-distribution of water vapor far beyond the assimilation window. Furthermore a beneficial influence on the development of the precipitation fields is demonstrated.
