Summary
The impact of snow DA changes has been investigated for 49r1. Snow depth on the Tibetan Plateau and the Rocky Mountains is reduced by assimilating IMS except on complex orography. RMSE of 2m temperature is reduced by 0.5% for winter and 1% for spring in the Northern Hemisphere. In addition, computational time for the 'snow' task is reduced about 30 seconds at 0 UTC by reducing radius for observation scanning and number of IMS input in 2D-OI.
