Fig. 24.17 Scatter diagrams of all track forecast errors for seven typhoon cases ( left ). The Y-axis
represents the track forecast errors with dropsondes, and the x-axis represents those without
dropsondes. Filled and empty diamonds denote the results of CNOPs and SVs, respectively. The
colour of each diamond indicates the forecast time. Histograms on the right are relative differences
corresponding to each case (From Qin and Mu 2011a )
Five kinds of experiments are designed and conducted: (1) no observations
are assimilated; (2) all observations are assimilated; (3) only the CNOP targeted
observations (observations in the CNOP sensitive area) are assimilated; (4) only the
FSV targeted observations (observations in the FSV sensitive area) are assimilated;
and (5) randomly targeted observations (observations within a randomly selected
area) are assimilated. The results of the OSEs showed that the DOTSTAR data have
a positive impact on the forecast of Nida's track (Table 24.6 ); Assimilation of the
