The two basic forms of multi-scale data assimilation procedures (FDDA), based on Newtonian relaxation, of analysis and observations nudging have been applied for precipitation event period occurred over Portugal during summer season, using the Fifth Generation Mesoscale Model (MM5) developed and maintained by the Pennsylvania State University and National Center for Atmospheric Research (PSU/NCAR). The model has been configured for three nested grid domains covering part of the Eastern part of North Atlantic region evolving the Portugal, with 35 vertical levels, from surface up to 100 hPa top level. The model forecasting have been conducted employing daily available data from surface observational network, radio-sounding from Lisbon/Portugal and NOAA-16 polar orbiting satellite retrieved vertical profiles data. The three integration domains of MM5 model have been processed using, as boundary and first guess fields, the global atmospheric forecast NCEP-NWS/AVN model data gathered through the Unidata Local Data Manager (LDM)/Unidata Internet Data Distribution (IDD) system. All daily forecasting, with FDDA and with no FDDA, have been run for 60 hours forecast, with 30 minutes interval model data output to provide enough timely detailed results. The FDDA analysis presented a quite reasonable data ingesting volume of almost all available satellite data, with the exception of humidity data retrieved for high levels, above around 500 hPa. The obtained results indicate that, even using weak FDDA constraint coefficient values, presents a significant improvement in the numerical prognosis in the precipitation field, on both space and time integration levels. The results also presented an enhancement of the physics of the convective mesoscale system development, particularly over mountain region, indicating that it would be interesting to conduct an experiment with a dense data collecting platform coverage focused on events which occur in some prevailing mountain region of Portugal.
