ENSEMBLES RT4/RT5 Joint Meeting Paris, 10-11 February 2005 RT1 activities RT1: Development of the EPS Aim: assess best method to estimate model uncertainty. Estimates of model uncertainty using a new multi-model ensemble, a recently developed stochastic physics scheme (ECMWF and Met Office) and the perturbed parameters approach (Met Office with 2 different versions of HadCM3). Ocean initial conditions from ENACT and generation of new sets when possible. Common output archived in MARS (atm) and ECFS (ocean). Pre-production for 1991-2001 with reduced start dates and completion for end 2005. Additional experiments to test the consistency of the predictions and the impact of the ensemble size.

ENSEMBLES RT4/RT5 Joint Meeting Paris, 10-11 February 2005 RT2A activities RT2A: Global model engine Build on the RT1 experience. Starting in ~month 24: seasonal, annual and multi-annual integrations. New set of (ensemble) ocean initial conditions from ENACT and/or RT1. Common output (based on RT1 lists and scripts) archived in MARS and ECFS. Dissemination based on public data and OPenDAP servers. Production period 1960-2001. 4 times per year, multi-annual hindcasts with the perturbed- parameter approach (HadCM3 or HadGEM).

ENSEMBLES RT4/RT5 Joint Meeting Paris, 10-11 February 2005 Multi-model ensemble system ENSEMBLES system: 5 coupled GCMs (4 running at ECMWF) Hindcast production period for: 1960-2001 9-member ensembles ERA-40 atmosphere and soil initial conditions RT1-based ocean initial conditions 4 seasonal, 1 annual runs per year At least 1 multi-annual run every 5 years Boundary forcings in forecast mode: GHGs, aerosols, solar forcing, etc.

ENSEMBLES RT4/RT5 Joint Meeting Paris, 10-11 February 2005 Data storage Archiving at ECMWF (seasonal to decadal) and M&D (decadal to centennial in CERA). Use of a common list of variables (minimum requirement) for atmosphere and ocean variables. Atmosphere (GRIB) in MARS and ocean (NetCDF) in ECFS. Need of an ENSEMBLES class for MARS. Scripts available for archiving and retrieval.
