With the fixed number concentrations, only the mixing ratios of hydrometeors are directly updated during the assimilation, which leads to a mismatch between the analyzed microphysical state variables and the microphysics scheme of the forecast model. In this study, the radar reflectivity is directly assimilated through an observation operator consistent with the DM Thompson microphysics scheme used in numerical integrations, and the impact of reflectivity operators based on SM and DM schemes on the analysis performance of the ensemble Kalman filter for typhoon Lekima on 9 August 2019 is evaluated. Reflectivity observations from a single operational weather radar in Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province of China are assimilated. In addition, the dual-polarization observations from the same radar are used to evaluate the quality of the analysis. The analyzed reflectivity and dual-polarization characteristics obtained by different reflectivity operators are examined in detail. Compared with the experiments applying the reflectivity operator based on the SM Lin scheme, the use of a reflectivity operator consistent with the DM Thompson scheme adopted in the forecast model results in analyzed reflectivity and polarization characteristics that are more consistent with the observed characteristics in terms of general structure, location, and intensity. Forecasted reflectivity, 3 h accumulated precipitation, and typhoon intensity and track are also evaluated. The application of the reflectivity operator based on the DM scheme makes better forecasts of typhoon intensity, precipitation, and reflectivity, which also improves the forecast skills on typhoon tracks to a certain extent.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs16213918","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,22]],"date-time":"2024-10-22T04:10:14Z","timestamp":1729570214000},"page":"3918","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Impact of Directly Assimilating Radar Reflectivity Using a Reflectivity Operator Based on a Double-Moment Microphysics Scheme on the Analysis and Forecast of Typhoon Lekima (1909)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Jingyao","family":"Luo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Shanghai Typhoon Institute, China Meteorological Administration, Shanghai 200030, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Numerical Modeling for Tropical Cyclones, China Meteorological Administration, Shanghai 200030, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hong","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shanghai Typhoon Institute, China Meteorological Administration, Shanghai 200030, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Numerical Modeling for Tropical Cyclones, China Meteorological Administration, Shanghai 200030, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yijie","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shanghai Typhoon Institute, China Meteorological Administration, Shanghai 200030, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Numerical Modeling for Tropical Cyclones, China Meteorological Administration, Shanghai 200030, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lijian","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shanghai Typhoon Institute, China Meteorological Administration, Shanghai 200030, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Numerical Modeling for Tropical Cyclones, China Meteorological Administration, Shanghai 200030, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1204","DOI":"10.1175\/1520-0450(1983)022<1764:NVITAF>2.0.CO;2","article-title":"Natural variations in the analytical form ofthe raindrop size distribution","volume":"22","author":"Ulbrich","year":"1983","journal-title":"J.
