52 Intensity forecast (30 min. vs. 10 min.) weak strong Assimilating every 10-min. is essential.

53 Moisture intensity The inner-core moisture error causes the intensity forecast error (Emanuel and Zhang 2017). More moist Less uncertain Him8 DA reduces a dry bias and ensemble spread (uncertainty) of moisture.
