1 Eidgenössisches Departement des Innern EDI Bundesamt für Meteorologie und Klimatologie MeteoSchweiz Ensemble activites and plans at MeteoSwiss André Walser MeteoSwiss COSMO-GM, Rome, 5-9 September 2011

2 2 Ensembles @ MeteoSwiss | COSMO-GM 2011 André Walser (andre.walser@meteoswiss.ch) Overview Today: regional ensemble forecasts fully based on COSMO-LEPS Forecast suite @ ECMWF managed by ARPA-SIMC (time critical application) Reforecast suite @ ECMWF managed by MeteoSwiss Product generation & verification @ Swiss HPC center (CSCS) DMO Future: Development of COSMO-E

3 3 Ensembles @ MeteoSwiss | COSMO-GM 2011 André Walser (andre.walser@meteoswiss.ch) COSMO-LEPS clients and products Internal and ~20 external customers

4 4 Ensembles @ MeteoSwiss | COSMO-GM 2011 André Walser (andre.walser@meteoswiss.ch) Last year’s cloud cover problem… Low-level cloud cover (CLCL) ~50% of members produced low-level clouds

5 5 Ensembles @ MeteoSwiss | COSMO-GM 2011 André Walser (andre.walser@meteoswiss.ch) SYNOP verif T_2M CH JJA2010 ~2K Observations COSMO-LEPS ensemble mean COSMO-7 lead-time +(25-48)h 00 UTC

6 6 Ensembles @ MeteoSwiss | COSMO-GM 2011 André Walser (andre.walser@meteoswiss.ch) Last year‘s conclusion Cloud problem in COSMO-LEPS caused by Kain- Fritsch convection scheme together with a too moist boundary layer  COSMO-EU soil merge should be introduced as soon as possible

7 7 Ensembles @ MeteoSwiss | COSMO-GM 2011 André Walser (andre.walser@meteoswiss.ch) Soil merge implementation Merge is operational since 11/04/2011 12 UTC forecast: fresh snow (FRESHSNW) snow density (RHO_SNOW) interception water (W_I) snow temperature (T_SNOW) snow water equivalent (W_SNOW) soil temperature (T_SO) soil moisture (W_SO) soil ice (W_ICE) Large impact on verification results for ensemble mean (following slides)

8 8 Ensembles @ MeteoSwiss | COSMO-GM 2011 André Walser (andre.walser@meteoswiss.ch) SYNOP verif T_2M CH JJA2011 Observations COSMO-LEPS ensemble mean COSMO-7 lead-time +(25-48)h 00 UTC

9 9 Ensembles @ MeteoSwiss | COSMO-GM 2011 André Walser (andre.walser@meteoswiss.ch) SYNOP verif T_2M Europe JJA2011 Bias STDE COSMO-LEPS ensemble mean outperforms COSMO-7 for all lead-times

10 10 Ensembles @ MeteoSwiss | COSMO-GM 2011 André Walser (andre.walser@meteoswiss.ch) SYNOP verif TD_2M Europe JJA2011 Bias STDE COSMO-LEPS ensemble mean outperforms COSMO-7 for all lead-times

11 11 Ensembles @ MeteoSwiss | COSMO-GM 2011 André Walser (andre.walser@meteoswiss.ch) SYNOP verif CLCT Europe JJA2011 Bias STDE COSMO-LEPS ensemble mean outperforms COSMO-7 for all lead-times

12 12 Ensembles @ MeteoSwiss | COSMO-GM 2011 André Walser (andre.walser@meteoswiss.ch) Soil merge: Impact on snow cover Snow height merged from COSMO-EU Snow height interpolated from IFS old suite 10.4.2011 New suite 11.4.2011  Large improvement due to higher resolution of snow analysis

13 13 Ensembles @ MeteoSwiss | COSMO-GM 2011 André Walser (andre.walser@meteoswiss.ch) COSMO-LEPS «wish list» Continue soil merge as long as COSMO-EU is in operation (up to 2014?) Keep COSMO model configuration close to COSMO-EU Implementation of 00 UTC forecast as soon as possible Use of „Super-Ensemble strategy“ for clustering still appropriate? Soil moisture perturbation

14 14 Ensembles @ MeteoSwiss | COSMO-GM 2011 André Walser (andre.walser@meteoswiss.ch) Status COSMO-LEPS reforecast suite  reforecasts over a period of 20 years (1989-2008)  every 3 rd day with 90h lead time (~1 month in advance)  same model version and configuration as COSMO-LEPS suite  ERA-interim reanalysis as initial and boundary fields  New: To account for COSMO-EU soil merge, a soil moisture bias correction is applied, based on a comparison of COSMO-EU and interpolated ERA- interim for 2008)  Available at ECMWF mars archive Intention: statistically independent data set for a long period: retrieve, time=12:00:00, date=2011-08-11, stream=enfh, step=0/to/90, levtype=sfc, expver=1, type=cf, hdate=1989-08-11/to/2008-08-11 class=co, param=61.2 1989-01-01 1989-01-03 1989-01-06 LT: 90h

15 15 Ensembles @ MeteoSwiss | COSMO-GM 2011 André Walser (andre.walser@meteoswiss.ch) Fieldextra news: Ensemble quantiles Fieldextra v10.4 allows to calculate user-defined quantiles, e.g.: &Process out_field = "TOT_PREC", product_category = 'eps_quantile', quantile = 75. / Simple algorithm (thanks to S. Theis for the input!): Q0 = ensemble min Q100 = ensemble max linear interpolation between two members

16 16 Ensembles @ MeteoSwiss | COSMO-GM 2011 André Walser (andre.walser@meteoswiss.ch) Fieldextra news: Ensemble quantiles Example: 5 member ensemble, equally weighted, calculate 25% quantile Sort members Calculate q values for each members (according to weights) Interpolate between members m3 m2m1 m5m4 * * * * * y(m x ) Q25 * q(m3)=10q(m2)=30q(m1)=50q(m5)=70q(m4)=90 Q40Q20

17 17 Ensembles @ MeteoSwiss | COSMO-GM 2011 André Walser (andre.walser@meteoswiss.ch) Development of COSMO-E

18 18 Ensembles @ MeteoSwiss | COSMO-GM 2011 André Walser (andre.walser@meteoswiss.ch) Expectations of our clients Focus on Alpine region / Alpine specific problems Consistency of products through different lead times and scales High availability of products Two broad classes of products: Very high resolution in space and time, typically 24 hours, rapid update cycle  COSMO-1 Regional probabilistic forecasts up to 3-5 days  COSMO-E

19 19 Ensembles @ MeteoSwiss | COSMO-GM 2011 André Walser (andre.walser@meteoswiss.ch) Boundary conditions for MeteoSwiss Human resources Limited: MeteoSwiss internal project COSMO-NExT (Novel Expert Tools) with no additional resources COSMO priority projects Collaboration with partners Computing resources National HPC strategy with funding for MeteoSwiss HP2C project for code adaptation to new architectures

20 20 Ensembles @ MeteoSwiss | COSMO-GM 2011 André Walser (andre.walser@meteoswiss.ch) Regional probabilistic forecasts: COSMO-E forecasts twice per day, ~3 km grid size, 60 levels VarEPS: Boundary conditions

21 21 Ensembles @ MeteoSwiss | COSMO-GM 2011 André Walser (andre.walser@meteoswiss.ch) COSMO-E setup initial conditions Implementation of Perturbations: LETKF with 40 members, PP KENDA ECMWF BC project COSMO-DE-EPS & PP CONSENS 21 ensemble members: final configuration depends on performance of COSMO code on our 2015 HPC system  HP2C project / PP POMPA MeteoSwiss resources boundary conditionsmodel physics
