ECMWF WMO Workshop19-21 May 2008: ECMWF OSEs Slide 18 EUCOS Space-Terrestrial, Conclusions (1)  Even in presence of satellite observations, degrading the current terrestrial Observing System has a significant negative impact on the forecast skill.  Starting from the degraded baseline (GUAN+GSN+…):  Additional R/S (T+Wind) and aircraft (T+Wind) contribute more or less equally to the Observing System (slight advantage for R/S)  These two Observing Systems are complementary  Aircraft add forecast skill to R/S  R/S add forecast skill to Aircraft

ECMWF WMO Workshop19-21 May 2008: ECMWF OSEs Slide 19 EUCOS Space-Terrestrial, Conclusions (2)  R/S impact:  R/S winds contribute little on their own  Radiosonde T contribute marginally more  This is the combination of wind/T which really provides the impact of the RS on the forecast skill  Aircraft impact:  The results are consistent with that of R/S. Aircraft-T alone bring relatively little. Combination of T/Wind makes a big impact

ECMWF WMO Workshop19-21 May 2008: ECMWF OSEs Slide 20 EUCOS Space-Terrestrial, Conclusions (3)  Humidity from R/S add very little in terms of scores  Noticeable but small impact on relative humidity scores up to day 3  Impact of wind profilers:  Winter impact:  The short range forecasts are improved by the US and japanese profilers  The signal blurs away after day 4-5 and large scale interactions appear  European profilers do not bring much  In summer, the impact is smaller than during the winter period (in absolute but also relative terms)

ECMWF WMO Workshop19-21 May 2008: ECMWF OSEs Slide 31 Space component, Summary  Very encouraging that all the space base sensors contribute in a positive way to the overall performance of the ECMWF forecast system. Sensors like AMSU-A, AIRS and HIRS are the most important.  The humidity analysis requires AMSUB (also MHS), GEO CSRs and SSMI.  Amongst the wind data, SCAT has a clear positive impact on the surface wind in the Southern Hemisphere, and a clear beneficial impact of AMVs and MODIS winds has been demonstrated.

ECMWF WMO Workshop19-21 May 2008: ECMWF OSEs Slide 34 Preliminary results on Metop (ongoing study)  The fit to temperature-sounding instruments (e.g. NOAA- 18 AMSU-A) is improved when Metop instruments are present.  The fit to moisture-sounding instruments (e.g. AIRS, MHS, GOES) is improved when Metop MHS, all Metop sounders or IASI are present  The presence of ASCAT data slightly improves the fit to QuikSCAT wind data, and products from Envisat and Jason altimeters  The synergy of Metop instruments produces a much stronger impact than its individual instruments
