Comparative Analysis of Perturbation Characteristics Between LBGM and ETKF Initial Perturbation Methods in Convection-Permitting Ensemble Forecasts by Jiajun Li, Chaohui Chen, Xiong Chen, Hongrang He, Yongqiang Jiang, Yanzhen Kang

“…Both methods showed increasing total moist energy with forecast lead time, displaying a bimodal structure dominated by kinetic energy in upper layers (300–100 hPa) and balanced kinetic energy and moist physics terms in lower layers (1000–700 hPa), with ETKF demonstrating larger growth rates. (4) Kinetic energy spectrum analysis indicated that ETKF exhibited significantly higher perturbation energy than LBGM in the 100–1000 km mesoscale range and superior small- to medium-scale perturbation characterization at the 6–60 km scales initially. Precipitation and radar echo verification showed that ETKF effectively corrected positional biases in precipitation forecasts, while LBGM more accurately reproduced the bow-shaped echo structure near Nanchang due to its precise simulation of leading-edge vertical updrafts and rear-sector low pseudo-equivalent potential temperature regions.…”
