1. Introduction

Increase of observed profiles with ARGO floats Jan Jan ARGO TAO/TRITON Others (XBT, CTD) The number of the observed points by Argo floats around the equator gets grater than that of TAO-TRITON Buoy.

Background of this study ・ Is TRITON really valuable for JMA’s operational ENSO Forecasting System? ・ Is it really necessary to sustain both TRITON and Argo Networks? (It may be oversampling.) Questions JAMSTEC would like to reduce the budget for TRITON. (They want to assign more budgets to Ocean bottom drilling, climate modeling research with Earth Simulator, and so on.) Check the impacts of TAO/TRITON and Argo Networks (and satellite altimetry) on the JMA’s ENSO forecast system. Joint Research of JAMSTEC and MRI

2. Experimental design

JRA25/JCDAS JMA/MRI-CGCM MOVE/MRI.COM-G Observation Outline of ENSO Forecasting in JMA Initial State Prediction Atmospheric Data Assimilation System Ocean Data Assimilation System Coupled Atmosphere- Ocean GCM ・ Resolution: Atmosphere: TL95L40 Ocean: º x1 º, L50 ・ Coupling Interval: 1 hour ・ Heat and momentum flux correction

Outline of the experiments Assimilation ( MOVE/MRI.COM-G) → Jan Dec ・ ALL → Using all available data (TAO/TRITON→10-day mean) ・ NTT → excluding the data of TAO/TRITON ・ NAF → excluding the data of ARGO floats ・ NSH → excluding satellite altimetry data Forecast ( JMA/MRI-CGCM) → ( 16 cases ) ・ Initial date : Jan. 1st, Apr. 26th, Jul. 30th, Oct. 28th ( 4 times a year) ・ 13-month forecasts using 11 ensemble members are performed for ALL, NTT, NAF, and NSH individually. ・ Ensembles → Assimilation runs with perturbed SST Obs. ・ The same flux correction as in the JMA operation is used. ・ Forecasts biases are calculated for each lead time, each forecasted month, and each experiments (ALL, NTT, NAF, NSH) individually, and removed from the forecasted fields.

3. Impact of TAO/TRITON and Argo Floats on Assimilated fields

Averaged T difference in the eq. Pac. ( ) ゜C゜C ゜C゜C ALL-NTT ALL-NAF Contours represents temperature fields in ALL. TAO/TRITON has an impact different from Argo(!?)

4. Impact of TAO/TRITON and Argo Floats on ENSO Forecasting

Impact on 0-6 month forecast RMSE Improvement ratio = RMSE of NTT or NAF – RMSE of ALL RMSE of ALL

Impact on 7-12 month forecast ・ The impact is large in the Indian Ocean for 7-12 month forecast ・ Impact of Argo can be seen on the equatorial and western tropical Pacific.

Impact on 0-6 month forecast score Normalized RMSE by that of the persistency forecast

Changes of Spread from ALL ・ Spreads tends to increase without TAO/TRITON data. ・ Spreads tends to decrease without Argo floats. ?

6. Summary

Summary TAO/TRITON Array ・ Remarkable positive impact on NINO3 and NINO4 areas for 0-6 month SST forecast. ・ The Impact is not clear on western tropical Pacific and for 7-12 month forecast. Argo Floats ・ Positive impact on NINO3, NINO4, western tropical Pacific, and Western Indian Ocean for 0-6 month forecast. ・ The positive impact remains for 7-12 month forecasts.

Things to Note ・ Results of OSE depends on the model, and data assimilation scheme. OSE should be performed with multi systems ・ We use 10-day mean observation data. The effect of the high time-resolution of TAO/TRITON is not evaluated. ・ Atmospheric reanalysis used in the data assimilation run already uses information from TAO/TRITON. ・ A longer time period is required for evaluating the impacts of TAO/TRITON and Argo floats correctly. (A better system in the future may use data more effectively for improving forecast. It is dangerous to judge the importance only with state of art systems.)
