Overview

Randomized trial investigates optimal initial errors for improving cold vortex forecasts in Northeast China, indicating significant prediction improvements.

Key Points

To enhance prediction accuracy of the Northeast China Cold Vortex by identifying optimal initial errors and sensitive observation areas.
Utilized a sampling-based approximation of the conditional nonlinear optimal perturbation method.
Evaluated the Pangu-Weather deep learning model against the ECMWF Integrated Forecasting System during May–August 2022.
Conducted observing system simulation experiments to assess forecast improvements from targeted observations.
The targeted observation areas were identified upstream of the vortex and near upper-level jet-entrance regions.
Average error reduction of approximately 13% was achieved through targeted observations in sensitive areas.
Baroclinic conversion was identified as the primary mechanism for error growth.
