Talk overview Team: PRDA: Stephanie Bush PI: Andy Turner Co-I: Steve Woolnough Visiting scientist (three months): Jayakumar Current work (9 months into project): GloSea5 GC2 assessment Mean state and seasonal cycle biases Seasonal forecast skill (correlations) ENSO teleconnection Overall relationship Case study years Assessment of active/break cycles Future work: Wind stress or heat flux correction experiments

Hindcast for assessment GloSea5 as described in MacLachlan et al. (2014) QJRMS: GC2 version operational as of February 3, 2015 MetUM atmosphere (HadGEM3), N216 (approx. 0.8°x0.5°) L85 (stratosphere resolving) NEMO ocean at ¼°, L75 3-hourly coupling frequency CICE sea-ice, including assimilation of sea-ice concentrations and initialization from observations Atmosphere and land initialized from ERA-Interim (soil moisture uses anomaly approach) 3D ocean assimilation from NEMOVAR GloSea5 GC2 hindcast set 14 years – 1996 to 2009 Three initialization dates (04/25, 05/01, 05/09) Three ensemble members each date, for nine members each year 140 day hindcasts Operational (should double check): 2 seasonal and 2 subseasonal members a day A hindcast set per week (number of ensemble members?)

Multi-model mean monsoon precipitation biases in CMIP/5 CMIP3 and CMIP5 models show large dry biases over India but wet biases over the WEIO and Maritime Continent in boreal summer. Also make the point that CMIP3 models should not be discarded due to age. Reds: rainfall excess Blues: rainfall deficit Sperber, Annamalai, Kang, Kitoh, Moise, Turner, Wang and Zhou (2013) Climate Dynamics.

GloSea5 GC2 Monthly Ensemble Mean Precipitation Bias Reference observations: GPCP

GloSea5 GC2 Monthly Ensemble Mean 850 hPa winds bias Reference observations: ERA-Interim

WEIO bias... And its connection to ISM and elsewhere Precipitation change when GA3 entrainment profile increased by 50% Entrainment profile is increased in GA6 (GC2) compared to earlier versions of the MetUM (25% since GA3) We can reduce the JJAS WEIO precipitation bias (and, partially, the ISM bias) by increasing entrainment While has a positive effect on the WEIO bias, this does not necessarily reduce the overall bias in South Asia Bush et al., 2015, QJRMS

GloSea5 GC2 seasonal cycle biases Webster-Yang Dynamical Monsoon Index (Vertical shear) Precipitation over India Precipitation (mm/day) Wind difference (m/s) GloSea5 ensemble mean climatology GloSea5 ensemble mean climatology GPCP climatology ERA-Interim climatology GloSea5 shows late onset of monsoon precipitation, common in CMIP5 models, related to Arabian Sea cold bias (Levine & Turner, 2012, Levine et al. 2013) Dynamical onset has correct timing, but strong westerlies lead to overly strong shear during JJA

Prediction skill of JJA All-India rainfall AIR interannual correlation very sensitive to years evaluated GPCP correlation (includes 1997 El Nino forecast bust) 1996 – 2009: 0.39 TRMM correlation 1998 – 2009: 0.68 Correlation maps show significant (p > 0.05) skill over the Maritime Continent and equatorial Pacific GloSea5 and GPCP JJA precipitation correlation map (Note: white where not significant: 0.53) Ensembles MMM and CMAP JJAS precipitation correlation map Rajeevan et al 2011

Prediction skill of zonal wind Correlation of GloSea5 and ERA-Interim JJA Webster Yang DMI 1996 – 2009: 0.69 Correlation maps show more skill over Indian ocean and Africa in vertical wind shear than in precipitation GloSea5 ensemble mean and ERA-Interim JJA zonal wind correlation GloSea5 ensemble mean and ERA-Interim JJA zonal vertical wind shear correlation

Teleconnection to ENSO Observations Ensemble mean Ensemble members JJA Wang-Fan DMI anomaly (horizontal wind shear m/s) JJA all India rainfall anomaly (mm/day) Nino 3.4 SST anomaly Relationship between dynamical and rainfall indices in ensemble means is consistent with observations However, ensemble means in individual years do not always match observations Some ensemble members are outliers

1999 – La Nina JJA Velocity potential anomalies JJA Precipitation anomalies Maybe some local process? Maybe equatorial atlantic? VP (km^2/s) P (mm/day)

2005 Large ensemble scatter GPCP precipitation anomaly TMI SST anomaly ERA-Int VP anomaly GloSea5 JJA Indian precipitation anomaly GloSea5 JJA equatorial Pacific SST anomaly GloSea5 JJA 200 hPa velocity potential anomaly Ordering: Positive AIR anomaly -> negitive AIR anomaly

Seasonal mean versus intraseasonal and interannual variability SD of 30-60 day filtered anomalies, climatological mean precipitation, amplitude of interannual variability Deficiency in precipitation signal over EEIO in all fields

Northward propagation Precipitation (shaded) and SST (contours) regressed upon reference precipitation in BoB and equatorial Indian ocean Lead-lag correlation of filtered rain anomalies over north BoB (15-20N, 85-95E, black) and EEIO (2.5S-2.5N, 85-95E, red) for observations (solid) and GloSea5 (dash)

Intraseasonal variation of monsoon overturning circulation (70-90E)

Conclusions GloSea5 performance in some years encouraging, but there are prominent forecast busts Forecast of dynamical indices has higher skill than forecast of all India rainfall Case study years indicate complex reasons for forecast failures and ensemble spread, which need detailed analysis Mean state SST biases Incorrect prediction of equatorial Pacific SSTs Local processes? Poor propagation and representation of intraseasonal variability

Future Work: Complete GloSea5 assessment Complete GloSea5 assessment (next 3 – 6 months): With GC2 operational, a 14 year hindcast set is run initialized each week - new opportunities Finish seasonal case study analysis Analyse intraseasonal predictability as a function of lead time Analyse active/break event case studies In 2009, worst monsoon drought in around 40 years. Several breaks occurred in 2009:

Future Work: Pragmatic correction techniques Framework to test impact of mean state biases on prediction skill (Years 2 and 3) Wind stress corrections applied based on model bias relative to reanalysis. Lower tropospheric winds, SST and equatorial thermocline respond rapidly Has successfully been used to demonstrate the that the IOD is sensitive to the EqIO mean state (Marathayil thesis, 2013). If improved skill can be demonstrated, motivates possible operational implementation Nudging techniques will also be explored Figure 1: DJF sst biases in the northern Arabian Sea versus DJF meridional wind biases across from the northern coast. Cold biases are related to too strong meridional winter monsoon winds (north-easterly monsoon), which advect cold dry air from across the land, increasing the upward latent heat flux over the ocean and cooling the surface. The strong winds are related to cold land surface air temperature biases in Pakistan and NW India, creating a too-strong meridional temperature gradient. The strong winter monsoon winds also feed excessive convergence into the western equatorial Indian Ocean and strong precipitation there (blue contours). Figure 2: DJF composite difference of surface temperatures, 850 winds, and precipitation in 7 coldest minus 7 warmest models based on northern Arabian Sea SST.
