Summary Ensembles with HIRLAM are promising, especially for heavy precipitation events Perturbing lateral boundary conditions important For forecast range 0-3 days perturbing with TEPS better than EPS HIRLAM is able to add features, not only downscaling EPS
Plans Norwegian met. Inst. wants to continue the work with limited area ensembles Look at different ways of perturbing the initial conditions Perturbing the physics: using different physical packages? Multi model approach?
