What Environmental forecasting Why Our strength … … research … … operations … … services … … high resolution … How Develop a capability to model air quality processes from urban to global and the impacts on weather, health and ecosystems Implement climate prediction system for subseasonal-to-decadal climate prediction Develop user-oriented services that favour both technology transfer and adaptation Use cutting-edge HPC and Big Data technologies for the efficiency and user-friendliness of Earth system models Earth system services Climate prediction Atmospheric composition Computational Earth sciences

3 Climate prediction Progression from initial-value problems with weather forecasting at one end and multi-decadal to century projections as a forced boundary condition problem at the other, with climate prediction (sub-seasonal, seasonal and decadal) in the middle. Prediction involves initialization and systematic comparison with a simultaneous reference. Initial-value driven Boundary-condition driven Time Weather forecasts Subseasonal to seasonal forecasts (2 weeks-18 months) Decadal forecasts (18 months-30 years) Climate-change projections Adapted from Meehl et al. (2009)

4 Initialising climate predictions
Why initialising a climate model? To address the internal variability uncertainty and make a skilful forecast, one of the requirement is an accurate knowledge of the initial state of the system. Steps to initialise an ensemble climate forecast system: make the most of the available observations to rebuild the best estimate of the system state (reanalysis). transfer such information to the model avoiding imbalances, i.e. initialise the climate prediction system run the ensemble with initial perturbations to account for the initial-state uncertainty

10 Climate prediction in Europe
Climate data is not climate information

11 Improving temperature forecasts
JJA near-surface temperature anomalies in 2010 from ERAInt (left) and experiments with a climatological (centre) and a realistic (right) land- surface initialisation. Results for EC-Earth2.3 started in May with initial conditions from ERAInt, ORAS4 and a sea-ice reconstruction over Similar results found for EC-Earth3 and high resolution (25 km). C3S Climate Projections Workshop: Near-term predictions and projections, 21 April 2015 Prodhomme et al. (2015, Clim. Dyn.)

12 Improving Arctic forecasts
Predictions with EC-Earth started every May (left) and November (right) over (let) and (right) with ERAInt and ORAS4 initial conditions, and internal sea-ice reconstruction. Two sets, one initialised with realistic and another one with climatological sea-ice initial conditions. Ratio RMSE Init/Clim hindcasts 2-metre temperature (months 2-4) Arctic sea-ice area Substantial reduction in near-surface temperature RMSE in the northern high latitudes when using realistic sea ice initialization for the winter following Nov initialisation Guemas et al. (2015, GRL) Bellprat et al. (2015, IC3 Tech Note)

13 Resolution & observation uncertainty
Predictions with EC-Earth3 started every May over with ERAInt and GLORYS2v1 initial conditions, and IC3’s sea- ice reconstruction. Substantial reduction in near-surface temperature RMSE in the northern high latitudes when using realistic sea ice initialization for the winter following Nov initialisation Bellprat et al. (2015, IC3 Tech Note)

14 High-resolution seasonal forecasts
High resolution has been thoroughly tested in climate prediction mode. The same applies to the stochastic physics. RMSE and spread of Niño3.4 SST (versus ERSST) from EC-Earth3 simulations: standard resolution (SR, T255/ORCA1), high resolution (HR, T511/ORCA025) without and with stochastic physics (SPPT3). May start dates over using ERA-Interim and GLORYS and ten-member ensembles. Batté and Doblas-Reyes (2015, Clim. Dyn.)

15 s2dverification package
Data analysis S2dverification is an R package to verify seasonal to decadal forecasts by comparing experimental data with observational data. It allows analysing data available either locally or remotely. It can also be used online as the model runs. s2dverification package BASIC STATISTICS Supports datasets stored locally or in ESGF (OPeNDAP) servers. Exploits multi-core capabilities Collects observational and experimental datasets stored in multiple conventions: NetCDF3, NetCDF4 File per member, file per starting date, single file, … Supports specific folder and file naming conventions. SCORES Correlation, ACC, RMSSS, CRPS, ... LOCAL STORAGE PLOTS Anomaly Correlation Coefficient. 10M Wind Speed ECMWF S4 1 month lead with start dates once a year on first of November and Era-Interim in DJF from 1981 to Simple bias correction with cross-validation.

16 Workflow management: Autosubmit
Automatisation: Preparing and running, postprocessing and output transfer, all managed by Autosubmit. No user intervention needed. Provenance: Assigns unique identifiers to each experiment and stores information about model version, configuration options, etc Failure tolerance: Automatic retrials and ability to repeat tasks in case of corrupted or missing data. Versatility: Currently runs EC-Earth, Also NEMO, WRF and NMMB models. . Workflow of an experiment monitored with Autosubmit (yellow = completed, green = running, red = failed, … ) D. Manubens, J.

17 Climate predictions for wind energy

18 Summary Requests for climate information for the next season comes from a broadening range of users and should be addressed from a climate services perspective. The initialisation of both soil moisture and sea ice increases the forecast quality at the regional level, and possibly also remotely. The increase of model resolution is a substantial technical challenge and requires at least resources an order of magnitude larger than currently available, but shows clear signs that is one of the most promising ways to improve the quality of the predictions. None of this will materialize without appropriate investment in observational networks and reduction of all aspects of model error, plus infrastructures that rationalize the investments in climate-modelling research.
