Introduction slides for Joint GIFS-TIGGE/PDP Meeting Richard Swinbank, Masayuki Kyouda, Heini Wernli, Istvan Szunyogh Joint PDP & GIFS-TIGGE WG meeting World Meteorological Organization Headquarters, Geneva, Switzerland March, 2014
Aims of the meeting Prepare for new working group on Predictability, Dynamics & Ensemble Forecasting. Agree Terms of Reference Scientific foci Links with other WGs How best PDEF, TIGGE & TIGGE-LAM can support WWRP projects (particularly high-impact weather, polar prediction). Membership Related research. TIGGE paper T-NAWDEX Predictability

HI Weather project From Sarah Jones: Two important functions of TIGGE-LAM: TIGGE-LAM for specific RDPs/FDPs or field campaigns Regular database for predictability studies Our job is to tell HI Weather how they can use and benefit from TIGGE-LAM (DAOS gave really helpful input) Workshop in June in US. Likely GEOWOW side- meeting
Polar Prediction Project From Thomas Jung: How can the PDP and GIFS-TIGGE working groups contribute to the PPP flagship themes (next slide) Are there any volunteers from PDP or GIFS-TIGGE that are willing to review the draft YOPP implementation plan? Interested in using TIGGE to support Polar Project, and discuss their requirements with us.
Polar Prediction Project Flagship Themes Sea ice prediction Explore predictability Develop of coupled prediction systems Linkages between polar regions and lower-latitudes Determine mechanisms and strengths Implications for predictions in middle latitudes Improved availability of observations from polar regions The Year of Polar Prediction (YOPP)
