Introduction

This exercise consists of running the GSI 3D hybrid analysis with T254 global (GFS) background field, conventional data from prepbufr, satellite radiances and gpsro data.

Background and Data

The background files are:

          
 surface gfs forecast files at 3 time levels: 3, 6, 9 hours
 
           sfcf03  sfcf06  sfcf09  
          
 atmosphere gfs forecast files at 3 time levels: 3, 6, 9 hours
           sigf03  sigf06  sigf09 
          

The observation files are:
