  1. NWS JAX…FL Mesonet and other Technologies related to SEACOOS …SEACOOS Spring Workshop… May 2003 Pat Welsh, WFO Jacksonville

  2. Overview • FL Mesonet and Data Projects • NOAA CSI - Associated Projects • JAX: WRF Model Status • A look to the future mesonet.ppt

  3. Florida Mesonet Data Projects • FAWN (UF/NWS)…21 sites (+ 11 in 2003) • FAWN since 1998 data now in AWIPS and LAPS analysis (NOAA FSL) • First “non-typical data” in AWIPS…all Florida offices. • COMET Project (UNF/NWS)…6 “wireless” sites • “Wireless JAVA/JINI Internet” sites in Duval County area • FDOT GPS Project (DOT/FSL/NWS)…50 sites • FDOT RWIS (UNF/FSU)…15 sites (June 2003) • Along North Florida Interstates at FDOT microwave towers • Research for “Intelligent Transportation System” • HPCC Project (NWS/UNF)…4 sites, GTMNERR • iFlorida (UNF/DOT) …Recently Funded (2004?) mesonet.ppt

  4. Why did I do this… • Ex-oceanographer at an NWS Coastal Office • No offshore data in 150 miles of coast • Marine Forecasts ??? mesonet.ppt

  5. mesonet.ppt

  6. DOT/FSL GPS-IPWV…a new forecaster analysis tool High Resolution water Vapor measurement from Dual-frequency GPS error 9 sites in North FL now mesonet.ppt

  7. Shallow Bathymetry Estuarine Modeling Coastal Buoys Ecological Forecasting Data Integration Coupled Modeling Risk Assessment Local Outreach Data Standards/Store Coupled Model only NWS Project NEW Buoy off St. Augustine NOAA CSI… 9 PROJECTS... mesonet.ppt

  8. History of North Florida Mesoscale atmospheric modeling • 1995-7 MM5 @ FSU JASBEX, CAPE studies FSU CRAY…(modeling sea breeze) • 1998 - USAF MM5 Florida Sector (fires) ~12 km • 2000 - NWS JAX Workstation ETA (beta) 10 km • 2002- MIA, JAX, MLB, TBW, TLH Modeling • 2003- JAX CSI WRF Model , MLB ARPS/ADAS on Linux clusters…in progress. mesonet.ppt

  9. Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) Model Local Data- FSL LAPS added to assimilate: WSR-88D winds Local Surface Data (Mesonet) Satellite clouds GPS-IPWV How good is it? Model Grid selection Smaller domain than ETA Non-Hydrostatic (CHAOS?) Running it… Timing for forecast use Reliability of NCEP LBC Verification Effort Standard Statistics  Feature Based  Wind to drive CSI Estuary Model of St. John’s River CSI Mesoscale Modeling 2003WRF with LAPS assimilation (5 km) mesonet.ppt

  10. CSI Domain 145x145x41 @ 5km Improvements: Hi rez land use Hi rez land mask Lakes & Rivers 4th Order Error Mass Conserving Better Air-Sea (?) mesonet.ppt

  11. CSI for HARDWARE buffs CSI CLUSTER Master and 8 nodes Dual AMD 2000 2 Gig RAM/node Red Hat 7.2 Gigabit Ethernet mesonet.ppt

  12. CSI WRF on Linux cluster • Communications - BIG BANDWIDTH • Improved bandwidth JAX & SRH ~512KB • huge output files ~ 450 mb/run • Total data/model I/O ~ 3 Gig/day • Required paths for LAPS/WRF output • LAPS Cluster bigfile to AWIPS (netCDF) • WRF Grib “thinned” and passed to LDAD then AWIPS will create netCDF file mesonet.ppt

  13. Quantifying CSI WRF Model • Primarily verification of 06Z run • Match to NCEP 06Z Eta and output times (00Z init) • Null (late) run to evaluate local data assimilation impact • Help from FSU and FSL • FSU M.S. student will do verification under Dr. Paul Ruscher • Comparative Local Data, NCEP and “Cold” runs • Standard model statistics (poor on the mesoscale) • Newer “feature-based” verification • Daily statistics with FSL and ~ 5 cases • June 01 Freeze and IOP for 60 DAYS… Cases? mesonet.ppt

  14. WRF Model in AWIPS… early successes in convection mesonet.ppt

  15. The Future… Graphical Forecasts • WRF Model Forecasts • Thin down ~ 150 mb • Scale -5 km match GFE • Interval - 3 hourly(?) • Grids into AWIPS • Share huge grids…HOW? • LDAD…SRH…FSU/FSL • LAPS Analysis (not?) • GIS/PNG files to EMs mesonet.ppt

  16. Our hopes for 2003… • Shared data and models in Florida offices • Bandwidth limitations are severe • Data, Analyses and Models…ALL…in AWIPS • LAPS and ADAS Data assimilation success • Radar radial winds (Single or Multiple?) • Mesonet data (FL Mesonet and Cape?) • GPS-IPWV and ACARS • Satellite…Cloud and SST…developed locally (?) • Quantify success! mesonet.ppt
