Current verification results for COSMO-EU and COSMO-DE at DWD Ulrich Damrath & Ulrich Pflüger
Outlook • What happened during last year concerning model development? • 12.12.2007: Gust diagnosis (changing basic wind level for diagnostics from 30 to 10m) • 12.03.2008: Calculation of 2m temperature (changing z0 to 2 cm) • 23.07.2008: Changes in the convection scheme to avoid unrealistic high precipitation values • Do we see these changes when looking at the verification results? • Comparison of results for different seasons • Comparison of COSMO-DE and COSMO-EU using traditional verification methods • Diurnal cycles for different elements • Frequency distriutions of errors depending on forecasted values • Upper air verification • An unexpected verification pitfall
