Abstract The impact on tropical cyclone (TC) prediction from assimilating Doppler weather radar (DWR) observations obtained from the TC inner core and environment over the Bay of Bengal (BoB) is studied. A set of three operationally relevant numerical experiments were conducted for 24 forecast cases involving 5 unique severe/very severe BoB cyclones: Sidr (2007), Aila (2009), Laila (2010), Jal (2010), and Thane (2011). The first experiment (CNTL) used the NCEP FNL analyses for model initial and boundary conditions. In the second experiment [Global Telecommunication System (GTS)], the GTS observations were assimilated into the model initial condition while the third experiment (DWR) used DWR with GTS observations. Assimilation of the TC environment from DWR improved track prediction by 32%–53% for the 12–72-h forecast over the CNTL run and by 5%–25% over GTS and was consistently skillful. More gains were seen in intensity, track, and structure by assimilating inner-core DWR observations as they provided more realistic initial organization/asymmetry and strength of the TC vortex. Additional experiments were conducted to assess the role of warm-rain and ice-phase microphysics to assimilate DWR reflectivity observations. Results indicate that the ice-phase microphysics has a dominant impact on inner-core reflectivity assimilation and in modifying the intensity evolution, hydrometeors, and warm core structure, leading to improved rainfall prediction. This study helps provide a baseline for the credibility of an observational network and assist with the transfer of research to operations over the India monsoon region.

The disturbance almost follows the axis connecting the centre with the warm tongue that protrudes ahead of  the disturbance in the mid-troposphere. While warm core of 7 to 13° C is centered around the upper tropospheric level (250 – 200 hPa) in the case the two moderate intensity tropical cyclones, no significant warmness could be seen in the depression stage.

During the period 6 to 16 May. 1995. three deep depressions formed one after another over west Bay of Bengal and moved from south to north. In this paper, structural characteristics of these systems are investigated from the distribution of thermal and thermodynamical field observed around the depression center utilising daily Rs/Rw and other available coastal observations during the period, Major findings of the study are: (i) The depressions have low level cold core and middle and upper tropospheric warm core. (ii) Thermal and moisture fields tilt north ward with height but vertical tilt of contour height is .not uniform at all levels, (iii) During intensification of the system significant increase in temperature and moisutre occurs above 700 hPa and significant fall of contour height occurs below 300 hPa.
