Data Assimilation & Prediction: Major Projects

Tactical Analysis Procedures (TAP)

Sponsor: USAF Materiel Command

Abstract:

The TAP project primary objective is to develop robust analysis procedures to support the tactical user. These analysis procedures provide stable meteorological data for end users.

TAP is modular, and capable of utilizing a variety of background and data sources. The function of TAP is to use the optimal interpolation technique to combine background (i.e. a priori) information with observations of diverse type, quality, and density to produce analyses of meteorological fields. The TAP analysis configurations are optimized to initialize NWP models and to provide input for Tactical Decision Aids.
