Presentation Transcript

  1. SHADOWING IN THE ATMOSPHERE Ross Lieb-Lappen Chris Danforth

  2. Forecasting Challenges • Uncertainty in the initial state • Chaos: sensitive dependence • on initial conditions • Model error

  3. Trajectory of the System Truth

  4. Forecast of the System Truth

  5. Improving the Forecast

  6. Our Model Image: Nick Allgaier

  7. Forecasting Methodology • Ensemble forecasting • Lorenz ‘96 Model • Define new ensemble members • Inflation of forecast ellipsoid external forcing advection dissipation

  8. Controlled Inflation • Only in contracting directions • Within climatological span • of particular variable • Maintain appropriate ratio • with neighboring values

  9. Model Success

  10. Acknowledgments Advisor: Chris Danforth Nick Allgaier Kameron Harris

  11. Singular Value Decomposition Definition of new ensemble members
