Massimo FERRI 9th COSMO General Meeting Plans at USAM/CNMCA Massimo FERRI 9th COSMO General Meeting

  VISION Need to develop probabilistic forecast-system for the short term and (if affordable) the very short term forecast range. Need to continue the development of models capable to properly resolve and initiate the convective scale motions to be implemented operationally in the very short term forecast range. The unified approach to the problems of data assimilation and probabilistic forecast should be pursued.

Relocatable & on demand MID-TERM PLANS 2011 Model Deterministic Probabilistic Data assimilation Physics Ext. Short Range Use of ECMWF products - Short Range COSMO-ME & HRM (probabilistic)   7 km/50 levels (14 km./50 levels) 20 members (HRM) Hybrid 3d-var + ETKF Very Short Range Relocatable & on demand COSMO-xx 2.8 km/60 levels Nudging UTCS  

Exploitation of COSMO Model Implementation of a Mediterranean Wave Model driven by COSMO-ME In the framework of HSAF it will be implemented the RTOVS 8 package in order to simulate AMSU and MW sensors.
