Le Duc National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecast A short range ensemble prediction system applied in TC forecast Jeju, 05 - 2009
Motivation • The success of SREPS in other centers (SREPS in NCEP, COSMO-LEPS in ECMWF, SREPS in INM, …): • The useful information of EPS in storm movement forecast (ECMWF EPS, NCEP EPS, JMA EPS) • SREF can detect the occurrence of extreme phenomena like heavy rainfall, heat wave, …
Method • Breeding of growing mode (NCEP) • Singular vectors (ECMWF) • Observation perturbations (CMC) • Ensemble transform Kalman filter • Ensemble transform We take the multi-model, multi-analysis approach.
SREPS description • 4 times per day, 72h forecast (00Z, 12Z), 48h forecast (06Z, 18Z) • output format: netcdf (interpolated to a common area) • parallel post processing (graphics) • access through intranet
Computational resources • PC Cluster 16 nodes, 4 cores per node, 8G RAM per node: • BOLAM: 3 nodes • Eta: 4 nodes • HRM: 3 nodes • WRFNMM: 6 nodes • Dell 2 CPUs, 4 cores per CPU, 16G RAM: pre and post processing

Future works • Verification • Post-processing: bias correction, BMA or NGM • A specific SREPS for TC forecast: 5 models BoLAM, BRAMS, HRM, MM5, WRF-ARW, storm target domain • Clustering
