2 Introduction Currently, the data assimilation system for MPAS model is the DART system (Data Assimilation Research Testbed), which is an EnKF (Ensemble Kalman Filter) method. The global GSI (Gridpoint Statistical Interpolation) system is an operational and community system, that can use for the variational or hybrid data assimilation. GSI is more flexible, and can ingest the flow-dependence when using a hybrid. Therefore, we intend to connect the GSI with MPAS. Currently, a preliminary version has been built up. In this study, we will show the results of assimilations with GNSS- RO data by the MPAS-GSI system (one-way link) in a typhoon prediction.

20 Summary and Future Work An one-way link between GSI and MPAS system has been built-up and performed for the simulations of typhoon Nepartak (2016). The results show that the assimilations with GNSS-RO data make improvements on simulated tracks and intensities than the RO data denied (GTS). From the simulation, assimilating with bending angle shows a further improvement in typhoon track before landfall. A preliminary two-way link of MPAS-GSI has been developed and is under testing. More experiments will be carried out to assess the RO data (e.g., FORMOSAT-7/COSMIC-2) impact on severe weather events in the future. Thank you for your attention!
