Background of THORPEX • TIGGE is an acronym for “THORPEX Interactive Grand Global Ensemble“. • THORPEX is a WMO global atmospheric research program designed to: • Advance knowledge of global-to-regional influences on weather systems to lead to improved forecast performance • Accelerate improvements in the accuracy of one-day to two-week forecasts for high-impact weather, • Contribute to the development of GIFS (the Global Interactive Forecast System), etc. THORPEX : The Observing System Research and Predictability Experiment World Weather Research Programme of WMO
TIGGE (THORPEX Interactive Grand Global Ensemble ) TIGGE is a framework under THORPEX for international collaboration in development and testing of ensemble prediction systems. Ensemble forecast data is collected in near real-time from many operational centers. Data providers (10 center) BOM, CMA, CPTEC, ECMWF,JMA, KMA, Meteo-France, CMC, NCEP,UKMO
TIGGE (THORPEX Interactive Grand Global Ensemble ) • Design structure of TIGGE data set considering potential scientific research and possible real-time applications: • Compare initial condition methods (SV, BGM, EnKF, …) • Compare multi-model and perturbed physics • Develop products ( ways to combine ensembles) • Boundary conditions for regional ensembles • Regime-dependence of ensemble configuration (size, resolution, composition) • Observation targeting (case selection) • Societal and economic impact assessment
Condition of Use of TIGGE Data • The datasets available on this server are provided freely for Research and Education purposes. Before retrieving data please read the conditions below and acknowledge that you accept them. • Registration will provide you with access to the TIGGE data with a delay of 48 hours after initial time of the forecasts. • Registration for real-time access is handled by the THORPEX Project Office. http://tigge-portal.ecmwf.int/d/license/tigge/
TIGGE Data Set Definition • Pressure Level Parameters(1000, 925, 850, 700, 500, 300, 250 and 200 hPa) • Geopotential height, Specific humidity, Temperature, U-velocity, V-velocity • In addition geopotential height is provided at 50 hPa. • Potential Temperature Level Parameters (320K ) • Potential vorticity • Potential Vorticity Level Parameters (2PVU) • Potential temperature U-velocity, V-velocity • Single level(32 parameters) • 10 meter u-velocity, 10 meter v-velocity, Psea,CAPE, CIN, Field capacity, Surface pressure Land-sea mask, Orography, Skin temperature, Soil moisture, Soil temperature, Wilting point Snow depth water equivalent, Snow fall water equivalent,Sunshine duration Surface air dew point temperature, Surface air maximum temperature, Surface air minimum temperature, Surface air temperature, OLR, surface latent heat flux, surface net solar radiation, surface net thermal radiation, surface sensible heat flux,Total cloud cover, Total column water, Total precipitation The kind of data and the release time actually provided are different in each center.
TIGGE Data Set Totally 259 members for each forecast time http://dss.ucar.edu/download/tigge/tiggedocumentation.pdf
JMA’s Provision of EPS GPV Data for TIGGE • JMA provides GPV of One-Week EPS (WEPS) operations once a day (12UTC). • This provision was started on September 25, 2006. • New parameters were added and the forecast time interval of all parameters were set to 6 hours on March 20, 2007. • 60 of the 77 requested parameters are currently provided.

CXML (Cyclone XML) Data: Motivation • To facilitate easy exchange of information, a standard format to represent analyzed and forecast data for tropical and extra-tropical cyclones is proposed. • The new format, called Cyclone XML (CXML) is descriptive and human-legible, making it easy for all human users and most automated applications to read. http://www.bom.gov.au/bmrc/projects/THORPEX/CXML/index.html CXML data • CXML data include information of multiple storms as following; • Analysis, • Forecasts of Deterministic NWP Model, • Forecasts of EPS
JMA’s Provision of CXML Data • CXML Data for western North Pacific provided by JMA includes - GSM (Deterministic Forecast Model), - One-Week EPS, - Typhoon EPS. • Provision of the data was started on 1 August 2008 for T-PARC1. 1) T-PARC is an international research projects implemented under THORPEX.
