LAPS / STMAS Niche

LAPS/STMAS is a highly portable system that enables easy collaboration among federal/state gov't, academia, and the private sector for weather analysis and forecasting. It offers a wide variety of data sources, high resolution, rapid updates, and low latency compared to other analysis systems. LAPS focuses on DA-Ensemble System, Data Ingest, Error Covariance, and Classic GSI Analysis Scheme, while STMAS provides improved analysis and forecast through a variational multiscale approach. Financial support is needed for the transition to operation.

  1. LAPS / STMAS Niche • Highly Portable System, Easy to Use – Many Collaborators/users World Wide • Federal/State Gov’t, International, Academia, Private Sector • NWS/AWIPS, GTAS, FAA/COSPA, RSA, PADS, CWB Taiwan • Wide variety • of data sources: • High Resolution (500m – 20km), Rapid Update (10-60min), Local to Global: • 1km analysis, 15min frequency, 25-30 minute latency • Versus 60min frequency / ~60-90min latency for other hi-res analysis systems (e.g. RTMA) 1

  6. Space and Time Multiscale Analysis System (STMAS) • It is a variational multiscale analysis system, a generalization of LAPS; • It provides a better balanced, temporal consistent and improved analysis and forecast; • Its research is supported by various projects but it needs support for transition to operation for improving LAPS analysis and forecast for AWIPS.

  8. Improved analysis and forecast Storm boundary detection (FAA CoSPA applications) Improved forecast For typhoon (Morakot)

  9. Financial Support for Transition • LAPS: Resources to support current AWIPS-II transition. Include more data sources and improve spatial / temporal resolution. • STMAS: Additional resource needed for transition, more computation, temporal consistency data source and calibration of the variational analysis for nowcasting and forecasts.
