A new method has been developed to directly assimilate volume scans of radar reflectivity data with 4D￢ar in the Met Office Unified Model. The method has been demonstrated in the convective﹕cale hourlyヽycling UKV forecast model. Reflectivity observations from 18 C‐band radars in the British...

Finally, there is too much low-level cloud cover in all simulations and this bias was not improved when adjusting the rainfall parameters in the microphysics scheme. To improve model simulations of the WAM, more detailed and insitu observations of the dynamics and microphysics targeting these non...
[1] CloudSat radar reflectivities are simulated in the Met Office global forecast model in a manner which is consistent with the CloudSat observations. The method is described and applied in an evaluation study of the model's performance over the period December 2006 to February 2007. The ...
