我们通过观测分析和数值模拟，重点研究飑线和超级单体两类强对流系统的机理和可预报性，及其造成的短时强降水、强风、龙卷等灾害性天气的特征和发生发展过程
Through observational analyses and numerical simulation, we focus on the mechanism and predictability of squall lines and supercells, and their associated severe weathers, such as heavy rainfall, strong winds and tornadoes.

------  Data Assimilation  ------

Data assimilation is a process through which observations and a numerical model and their associated uncertainties are used to estimate as accurately as possible the state of the atmospheric flow and its associated uncertainties (Talagrand 1997)

Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF) is a very promising technique in data assimilation, which is a natural combination of ensemble forecast and Kalman filter:
