Abstract: A modified shallow water model able to mimic convection and precipitation has been developed at the University of Leeds to conduct idealised forecast-assimilation experiments, facilitating inexpensive data assimilation research in an operational context. Exploiting a twin-setting configuration, pseudo-observations are derived from a high-resolution 'nature run' simulation and subsequently combined with lower-resolution model runs by means of an Ensemble Kalman Filter. Idealised satellite data assimilation constitutes the current focus of our research, which has required both a partial model revision and the development of a more complex pseudo-observing system, including a non-linear observation operator.
