Introduction slides for Joint GIFS-TIGGE/PDP Meeting Richard Swinbank, Masayuki Kyouda, Heini Wernli, Istvan Szunyogh Joint PDP & GIFS-TIGGE WG meeting World Meteorological Organization Headquarters, Geneva, Switzerland 19-20 March, 2014
Aims of the meeting • Prepare for new working group on Predictability, Dynamics & Ensemble Forecasting. • Agree Terms of Reference • Scientific foci • Links with other WGs • How best PDEF, TIGGE & TIGGE-LAM can support WWRP projects (particularly high-impact weather, polar prediction). • Membership • Related research. • TIGGE paper • T-NAWDEX • Predictability
AGENDA • Organisation of the meeting • Report and actions from previous meetings • Links with other WMO & WWRP groups • Research work • Plans for TIGGE and TIGGE-LAM developments • Plans for new PDEF working group • Terms of reference (co-chairs) • Possible future PDEF science projects / foci (all) • Membership • Any other business • Review of meeting outcomes, decisions and actions; next meeting
HI Weather project From Sarah Jones: • Two important functions of TIGGE-LAM: • TIGGE-LAM for specific RDPs/FDPs or field campaigns • Regular database for predictability studies • Our job is to tell HI Weather how they can use and benefit from TIGGE-LAM • (DAOS gave really helpful input) • Workshop in June in US. Likely GEOWOW side-meeting
Polar Prediction Project From Thomas Jung: • How can the PDP and GIFS-TIGGE working groups contribute to the PPP flagship themes (next slide) • Are there any volunteers from PDP or GIFS-TIGGE that are willing to review the draft YOPP implementation plan? • Interested in using TIGGE to support Polar Project, and discuss their requirements with us.
Polar Prediction ProjectFlagship Themes • Sea ice prediction • Explore predictability • Develop of coupled prediction systems • Linkages between polar regions and lower-latitudes • Determine mechanisms and strengths • Implications for predictions in middle latitudes • Improved availability of observations from polar regions • The Year of Polar Prediction (YOPP)
