  26. An evaluation system for tropical cyclone forecast Based on the experiences gained through the implementation of TLFDP and a survey on current operational status of TC forecast verification in the western North Pacific region, an evaluation system for TC forecast is proposed and will act as a guideline for future work of TLFDP.

  30. Progress Proposed by Eastern China Regional Meteorological Center/ CMA during the IWTCLP-II in Shanghai, China, 19 – 23 Oct. 2009 Adopted by the CAS-XV in Incheon, ROK, 18 – 25 Nov. 2009 A component of the Shanghai MHEWS project Implementing duration: 2010-2012 2010 Shanghai EXPO – the kick-off   Working closely with the THORPEX NW Pacific Tropical Cyclone Ensemble Forecast RDP • Real time data collection • Products dissemination • Forecast evaluation and reliability analyses • Training and demonstration • Benefit assessment

  31. Benefit assessment • A series of surveys were carried out to assess the benefit of the WMO-TLFDP • The survey’s objects were divided into three groups: public users, industrial and special users and meteorological forecasters • The objective of the public user survey is to gauge the public’s opinions on the accuracy of weather forecasts and typhoon warnings issued by SMS • The objective of the forecaster survey is to gauge the forecaster’s opinions on the typhoon forecasting and on the typhoon objective techniques during the project period

  32. Forecasters’ need: the most troubling issue in TC forecasting

  33. Collaboration with the THORPEX NW Pacific Tropical Cyclone Ensemble Forecast RDP • From TLFDP to TCEFP • Ideas or requirements on user-oriented TC EPS products • Feedbacks on how and to what extent TC EPS products benefit the operational forecast and public service • Training (to popularize the experience of using TC EPS products to broader users) From TCEFP to TLFDP • TC EPS products in CXML format • Verification information on TC EPS products • Training (to help forecasters prepared to use TC EPS products)

  34. Training on EPS and popularization of the experience • Dr. Tetsuo Nakazawa, June 2010, Shanghai • Dr. Jing Chen, June 2012, Shanghai • Dr. Hui Yu, November 2010, La Reunion

  35. A selective consensus method for track forecast based on EPSs

  36. Evaluation of intensity forecasts from EPSs (a) Brier score of the seven TIGGE ensemble prediction systems in 2010; (b) The same as (a) but with initial correction; (c) Improvements in Brier score by initial correction.

  37. WMO Typhoon Landfall Forecast Demonstration Project (WMO-TLFDP) The WMO-TLFDP has made significant progress in various aspects, which can be summarized as follows: • Real-time TC forecast products are collected through various ways from a total of 13 agencies, including the TIGGE TC EPS products from 7 agencies. • A real time verification platform of TC forecast has been set up. • An evaluation system for TC forecast has been set up. • A variety of TC forecast and verification products are disseminated through the WMO-TLFDP website (http://tlfdp.typhoon.gov.cn). • A new landfall typhoon forecast flow based on the products of WMO-TLFDP has been experimentally set up in ECRMC/CMA, in which the TC EPS products are playing an important role. • Based on a benefit assessment of TC forecast services in Shanghai from 2010 to 2011, the overall satisfaction factor is fairly high up to 82.3%.

  38. Future Plan • The project will be continued till the end of 2015 • Two teams will be formed for the continuation • Demonstration application of new TC forecast products and verification techniques • Benefit assessment
