2 Page 2 Developments in regional DA Oct 2007 © Crown copyright 2007 NAE Data Assimilation changes 2007  GPS IWV introduced (1 per 6 hr)  aerosol background error reduced  AIRS over land introduced (above 400hPa)  More frequent ATOVS data ( + thinning 40  80km)  More frequent GPS IWV data (1 per hr)  PF-Model Convection  cease soil temperature increments under snow  introduce IASI  introduce ASCAT Mar 07 Aug 07 Nov 07

3 Page 3 Developments in regional DA Oct 2007 © Crown copyright 2007  Impact of LS subsidence (similar to first ECMWF scheme) positive impact on moisture field  Cape closure perturbations (main term) positive impact on virtually all fields PF convection parametrisation in 4DVAR (Olaf Stiller) Two contributions: Unsteady/noisy UM convection scheme motivated statistical approach with time smoothing of input fields from nonlinear model

5 Page 5 Developments in regional DA Oct 2007 © Crown copyright 2007 PF convection - trial results  Summer 2006 NAE trial  Generally beneficial in most variables  +1% on UK Index (skill score for T2m, v10m, rain, cloud, visibility)  rms PMSL  rms T2m

6 Page 6 Developments in regional DA Oct 2007 © Crown copyright 2007 soil temperature increments  ΔT (soil level 1) = ΔT (atmosphere level 1) in NAE  helps retain benefit of screen temperature assimilation  (no screen level assimilation or ΔT (soil) in global model) CNTL no ΔT(soil) mean T2m rms T2m

7 Page 7 Developments in regional DA Oct 2007 © Crown copyright 2007 soil temperature increments …..under snow  ΔT (soil level 1) = ΔT (atmosphere level 1)  not sensible when snow insulates the soil  Feb 07 night-time T2m errors in Finland ~10-15K soil temp difference (NAE-GLOBAL) snow cover 20K !

8 Page 8 Developments in regional DA Oct 2007 © Crown copyright 2007 Ground GPS IWV (operational since March 07)  Operational coverage

9 Page 9 Developments in regional DA Oct 2007 © Crown copyright 2007 Ground GPS IWV ● Pre-operational trials gave slight benefit in screen temperature, rain, cloud and visibility. (~0.5% on UK Index) ● Obs frequency increased to hourly (Aug 07) with neutral impact / slight benefit ● Further trials to optimise assimilation underway- adjusting obs errors and forward model

10 Page 10 Developments in regional DA Oct 2007 © Crown copyright 2007 IASI trial  1-month trial – May 2007  Global trials gave benefit in PMSL & upper-level winds  NAE trial showed small benefit in UK pmsl mean rms CNTL IASI

26 Page 26 Developments in regional DA Oct 2007 © Crown copyright 2007 OPERA composite  NAE impact experiment is planned with OPERA composite (Spring 08)  promote benefits to NWP of radar data exchange within Europe  clarify requirements from NWP for operational radar data hub  prepare for eventual operational assimilation
