  1. Progress report 2003SRNWP LC Mesoscale Verification

  2. Raison d’etre • Several international initiatives • SRNWP has to decide, given international developments and the involvement of SRNWP members, whether it still wants to play a role in the coordination of mesoscale verification developments and if, what will be its focus, so as to avoid duplication of efforts with other initiatives.

  3. Workplan 2003 • Build an internet knowledge base • Organize 2nd SRNWP Mesoscale Verification Workshop • Study meaningful intercomparison of models

  4. Knowledge base • Realized by Forecast Verification Group at the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (http://www.bom.gov.au/bmrc/wefor/staff/eee/verif/verif_web_page.html) • Proposal: • SRNWP contributions to this site • Coordination of LC with Forecast Verification Group

  5. Workshop • Postponed, date not fixed • Proposed topics: • Recent advances • Relationship between forecast quality and value • Contributions: • Theoretical considerations, critical applications and their requirements, postprocessing of models, piggy-back verification, SR EPS verification, customer quality reports, your suggestion here…

  6. Model intercomparison • Not so much a technical issue if you know what you want • Real problem lies in the multiplicity of quality and value aspects, the questions to be answered. • Felt to be a political conundrum.

  7. Summary of questions • -does SRNWP still need a Lead Centre for Mesoscale Verification given there are similar international initiatives in which SRNWP members participate? If so, what should be its focus? • -should SRNWP coordinate its efforts with the Forecast Verification Group? • -does SRNWP support the topic chosen for the 2nd workshop?
