Simulations of ENSO-Related Variability in the East Asian Monsoon Region by NCEP-GSMHong, Chi-Cherng1 Chia, Hsin-Hsing22003/10/25Taipei Municipal Teachers College Department of Science Education1Central Weather Burea2
Introduction • Can AGCM capture interannual Asian Monsoon Variability (such as Western Pacific high, WPH) during ENSO cycle ? • What’s the limitation of AGCM in simulating EAM ?
Experiment Design 51 years AMIP II experiment by GSMT42L28 ∥ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ 1950 2000 Daily SST interpolated from observed monthly data is imposed (Basically followed by N.-C. Lau’s work) Warm: 1957,1972,1982,1991,1997 ENSO events are selected for composite Cold: 1955,1970,1973,1975,1988
Model description • GSM–T42L28 is a global model with triangular truncation at 42 wavenumbers (128 x 64)and 28 vertical layers • Cloud parameterization : Arakawa-Schubert • Parallel version for PC is available from 2003 • Job has been executed in Dept. of Earth Science of NTNU ‘s GIGA PC-cluster • Around 105 minutes computing time each year (16 processors)
Model and observed climatology • Sperber and Palmer (1996): A realistic model climatology is an important factor for the determining the skill of simulating interannual monsoon variability
850mb Strl and Precip
Brief Summary • GSM can simulate the annual cycle of EAM • Model seems to have system bias in the EAM region especially in summer season
Composite result • Examine the evolution of atmospheric circulation, surface fluxes and SST during the ENSO cycle over western Pacific (0) (0/1) (1) (1) JJAS ONDJ FMAM JJAS ENSO mature phase

Ensemble average (10 members , from Kanamitsu ) Individual Run
Summary • GSM to some degree capture the WPH, Precipitation and Surface flux pattern in the next spring (FMAM) over the EAM after the mature phase of ENSO • Composites show results of individual run is similar with 10 members ensemble average • GSM didn’t simulate the west-eastward extension of WPH in the decay stage of ENSO cycle
Future work • Local SST vs. global SST examine the impact of local SST anomaly (WNP and TEP ) on the EAM • How to correct the systems bias • Individual run ensemble prediction multi-model ensemble (ECHAM4,CCM3,NTNUGCM,CWB…)
