More evaluation of Nature Run performed and planned Evaluation of Cloud Simpson weather associates SWA Comparison between the ECMWF T511 Nature Run against climatology of observation 20050601-20060531, exp=eskb, cycle=31r1 Adrian Tompkins, ECMWF Initial assessment Erik Andersson(ECMWF) Cyclone track Thomas Jung (ECMWF) Case Events Identified from ECMWF T799 NRMSU Study of Low level jet Juan Carlos Jusem,NASA/SIVO Comparison of zonal mean zonal wind jet maxima, NR and ECMWF analysis, NH Arctic winter in Nature run By Nikki Prive, ESRL Drift in Nature run Diurnal cycle Michiko Masutani, EMC
Simulation of Observations required for calibration Existing instruments experiments must be simulated for control and calibration and development of DAS and RTM Test GOESR,NPOESS, and other future satellite data Simulation of Conventional ObservationsJack Woollen (NCEP/EMC), Ron Errico (NASA/GMAO) Simulation Radiance for Calibration GMAO, NESDIS, NCEPTong Zhu, Haibing Sun, Fuzhong Weng(NOAA/NESDIS)Jack Woollen(NOAA/NCEP)Ron Errico, Runhua Yang, Emily Liu, Lars Peter Riishojgaard, Ravi Govindaraju (NASA/GSFC/GMAO) Cloud Motion Vectors SWA - Advised by Chris Velden - Calibration experiments EMC,GMAO,ESRL

OSSEs planned Funded or seeking for fund but start with volunteers OSSEs to investigate data impact of GOES and preparation for GOES-R NESDIS, EMC OSSE to evaluate DWL KNMI,SWA,EMC, GMAO, NOAA/ESRL, and more OSSE to evaluate UAS ESRL and NCEP OSSEs for THORPEX T-PARC EMC, FSU, ESRL Regional OSSEs to Evaluate ATMS and CrIS Observations GRI/Mississippi State Univ (MSU), JCSDA

Sardeshmukh (ESRL) Identical twin experiments It is worth while to try identical twin experiments to understand model error. Identical twin OSSEs can be only used for illustration only . ECMWF offered to perform identical twin OSSEs if there is specific goals. (Erik Andersson)

Getting ready for OSSEs • ♦ Produce perfect data and run calibration experiments. • ♦ Design on representativeness error and observational error and redo calibration • ♦ Development of standard verification package • ♦ Clarify potential and limitation of OSSE and educate community • ♦ Meso/Regional OSSEs • Joint OSSE team agreed that we have to concentrate on OSSEs with existing NRs to study superobbed data impact of high resolution data. However, there are strong demands for meso scale OSSEs. Joint OSSE team is working on integrating meso scale OSSE interest. • ♦ Coordination of work. • Uniform representation of observational data and results • Keep track who actually did the work and various contributions. • Organizing publication • OSSE Chapter in Data assimilation book from Springer • Introductory article in BAMS • ♦Joint OSSE web site • http://www.emc.ncep.noaa.gov/research/JointOSSEs
Requirements for a future Nature run - Some suggestions- ♦The NWP model must have good forecast skill Great visualization does not guarantee good forecast skill. ♦At least 3 month lower resolution run with same model is required to provide a period for spin up for bias correction. ♦Must have a good TC or a severe storm in the nature run period. ♦Sufficient number of vertical levels. Minimum 91 levels. ♦Some degree of coupling with ocean and land surface ♦If it is regional, the effect of the lateral boundary must be evaluated. ♦ A list of verification method must be produced by Joint OSSE. ♦ Need NR to be shared within Joint OSSE ♦ User friendly archive
