Status of AMDAR Implementation in Japan, Forecast Department, Japan Meteorological Agency Prepared for APSDEU-6 Seoul, Korea, 1 June 2005
2
History of AMDAR in JMA 1992 ~ : ASDAR collection via GMS and dissemination via GTS. mid 1990’s :Started contact with airlines, and many impact studies performed with off-line ACARS data. 2002 : Agreement with JAL for experimental on-line use of ACARS. 2003 : Agreement with ANA. Aug 2004 : Started dissemination via GTS in FM42 form. Mar 2006 : Planned to disseminate in BUFR form.
3
Available Data Coverage: Within the reach of VHF data link mainly in Japan. Data collection strategy: - For flight operation of each airline. - Ascent, descent data are collected by one airline. - QNH correction <= 14,000ft DES JP9Z4UU5 2620N 12802E 050239 F/// PS090 235/013 TB/ S031 333 F100 VG///=

Impact to NWP Greatest impact to the JMA Mesoscale model (MSM): -( J-AMDAR coverage / Model domain ) is large. - Hourly data can be fully ingested to 4D- variational analysis.
8
Data coverage for MSM - Radar/AMeDAS rain rate is also assimilated into MSM

Diurnal change of data coverage for MSM DAYNIGHT 00UTC 06UTC 12UTC 18UTC

Daily error sequence on upper air wind ( FL210 – FL450) Mesoscale model (00UTC initial), vs ACARS Start using ACARS Lines indicate errors averaged over 25days before and after Aug 26. Dots indicate daily errors Month/day in 2002
11
Statistical verification on upper wind forecast Comparison between Sep-Oct (with ACARS) and Apr-May (w/o ACARS) Mesoscale Model 250hPa wind forecast error vs radiosonde Error reduction was small for 18UTC initial ( ACARS not available ) indicates forecast from 18UTC (03 Local time) initial
12
With ACARS w/o ACARS Oct 21, 2002 00UTC initial T=3 MOD CAT 図3
13
New product: hourly wind analysis 3D-OI based on Mesoscale model with ACARS, Wind profiler, Doppler Radar.
14
Data monitoring of AMDAR for GSM 13 APR 2005 - 24 MAY 2005 Decoded Used Rejected Decoded Used Rejected CYCLE ANALYSIS EARLY ANALYSIS - Used data are about 20% of decoded data due to thinning - Very few data rejected in the assimilation system imply the data quality is excellent
15
AMDAR as verification data for GSM MEAN: 0.5K, RMSE: 1.6K for APR 2004 MEAN: 0.2K, RMSE: 1.5K for APR 2005 Better consistency between AMDAR observation and first guess implies improvement of model performance.
