Workshop Results WG5 COSMO General Meeting 24.09.2004 Francis Schubiger, MeteoSwiss
Actions concerning following problems (1) Working Packages dealing with operational verification: deleting all these operational Packages from WG5 in one year. Focus our commitments on NEW developments delivery of verification results (each season) to the COSMO website will start => definition of common "LM" problems/scores (master page in verification website) WP 5.4.2 ‘Verification of aLMo precipitation forecast using Radar composite network‘: no new developments this year; Andrea Rossa leaves MeteoSwiss -> look to other institutions for radar verification (Oberto/Piedmont, Lenz/DWD, IMGW/Linkowska, Starosta [in future]) WP 5.5.2 ‘Common Verification Package at ECMWF’: open question: does UGM have enough capacity to work alone on this Package (-> shared codes for special aspects ?) -> meeting “Verification Package at ECMWF” with UGM COSMO General Meeting, Milano, 22-24.09.2004 francis.schubiger@meteoswiss.ch
Actions concerning following problems (2) Verification of new physics schemes (from WG1-3) on predefined case studies: NEW WP 5.6.3 / MeteoSwiss: Kaufmann (SYNOP), Piedmont?: Mercogliano Workshop with WG3:overview of links physics <-> diagnostics <-> verification; Verification of near surface boundary layer processes (profiles, turbulent processes, soil moisture, fluxes); conditional verification; selection of test cases / test periods Put on the website the rules and scores that each country should use (gridpoint/obs correspondance, season definition, correction for height, scores, ….) Put on the website the list of case studies (defined in earlier years) COSMO General Meeting, Milano, 22-24.09.2004 francis.schubiger@meteoswiss.ch
Needs and wishes for common verification package at ECMWF (1) verification on full domain with all available (hourly) SYNOPs, TEMPs representativity of observations & model conditional verification weather-type dependant verification verification with non-GTS data (raingauges, …: -> gridded values of obs) verification with remote sensing data: radars, METEOSAT, GPS near-surface boundary values (towers: fluxes, radiation budgets) COSMO General Meeting, Milano, 22-24.09.2004 francis.schubiger@meteoswiss.ch
Needs and wishes for common verification package at ECMWF (2) verification of assimilation cycle definition of case study dates/periods verification of LEPS (probabilistic verification) COSMO General Meeting, Milano, 22-24.09.2004 francis.schubiger@meteoswiss.ch
Possible / Proposed New Packages in 2005: Verification of LM on higher resolution, i.e. LMK, aLMo/2.2,.. DWD has already started with LMK verification new verification methods (probabilistic, CRA, object-oriented, fuzzy logic, scale separation, …) U. Damrath asks for use of CRA-software(IDL) inside COSMO (Piedmont raingauges, MeteoSwiss/radars) Verification of the assimilation cycle: DWD with raingauge network of COSMO and TEMPs and MeteoSwiss for SYNOPs Guidelines for the forecasters (together with WG4): circulation of draft version to all WG5-countries Workshop with WG3:overview of links physics <-> diagnostics <-> verification; Verification of near surface boundary layer processes (profiles, turbulent processes, soil moisture, fluxes); conditional verification; selection of test cases / test periods COSMO General Meeting, Milano, 22-24.09.2004 francis.schubiger@meteoswiss.ch
