- Experiment Name
-
Eta-12 with minor change to the Eta land-surface physics,
bias adjustment of multi-sensor precipitation analyses
using daily gauge data, and use of GOES-12 radiance
data in the Eta 3DVAR analysis
- Parallel Slot
- ETAX
- Control Slot
- Operational Eta-12
- Start date of parallel experiment
- 12Z 2004/01/09
- End date of parallel experiment
- 12Z 2004/03/16
- CHANGES
LAND-SURFACE PHYSICS CHANGES
The percent of frozen precipitation computed by the Eta microphysics
is now passed to the land-surface model (so-called "Lackmann" change)
PRECIP ASSIMILATION CHANGES
Details on the precipitation analysis adjustment can be found at

3DVAR CHANGES
The Eta 3DVAR code was modified to assimilate radiances from the GOES-12
satellite
