    Abstract

    Active research has been carried out in recent years to assimilate high-resolution observations into numerical models to improve precipitation forecasting. Considerable progress has been made although great scientific and technological challenges still exist. This paper reviews techniques used in convective-scale data assimilation research. Experiences in the assimilation of radar observations into high-resolution numerical models are presented. A number of future challenges in convective-scale data assimilation are discussed.
