  12. GRAPES_GFS1.0 :medium-range global forecast • GRAPES_Global 50km L36 with model top at 10 hPa • GRAPES_3DVAR at 1.125 degree (global version) • 6-hourly cycle • 240 hour forecast (12UTC) • Assimilated Obs. • GTS conventional data • NOAA15、16、17 • METEOSAT-9 & MTSATAMV • MODIS polar AMV Setup of GRAPES global forecast system since Jul. 2007 Presented in last WGNE

  13. GRAPES_GFS 1.0global model • SISL dynamical core with mass fixer • Physics • Radiation: RRTMG LW(V4.71)/SW(V3.61) • Cumulus: Simplified Arakawa Schubert with modified entrainment and detrainment rates • Grid-scale precipitation: WSM-6 • Cloud: Xu & Randall diagnostic cloud • Land surface: CoLM • PBL: Modified Hong & Pan nonlocal PBL • Gravity wave drag: McFarlane 1987

  14. GRAPES_GFS 1.0global 3DVAR • Incremental analysis • Digital filter • Recalculated background error covariance – NMC method • 1.125x1.125 resolution, 17 standard pressure levels • Bias correction scheme of satellite radiances based on simple linear regression (Harris and Kelly,2001): (1) 1000-300 hPa thickness, (2)200-50 hPa thickness.

  15. Efforts in improving the forecast skill of GRAPES_GFS-toward operation- • Improve accuracy of initial values: data assimilation • ATOVS(NOAA-18,19,METOP,FY3) • GPS Reflectivity (COSMIC) • AIRS • IASI • Improve model performance • Improve the accuracy of finite difference scheme, especially, for PGF calculation • Hybrid vertical coordinate: from terrain-following to terrain-following & Z • Tuning of physical processes • Radiation: RRTMG • Land surface: SLAB to CoLM • GWD • SSO replaces the effective roughness length • Cumulus scheme tuning • Radiative energy budget (cloud-radiation) • Improve the forecast of synoptic evolution and accuracy of local weather elements, particularly those which have large impact on East Asian weather

  17. Using EC analysis as Reference(NCEP,GRAPES)500hPa

  18. Zonal mean temp. bias JJA (3d fcst.) old By introducing the new radiation Scheme: RRTMG new

  19. Cloud-radiation interaction Improvement • New cloud cover parameterization • New cloud water path parameterization • Radiative effect of fractional cloud • Radiative effect of cloud inhomogeneity

  20. Cloud cover parameterization Original scheme: binary cloud cloud=1 , when QC+QI >1.0e-6 cloud=0 , when QC+QI <1.0e-6 effective cloud drop radius: liquid 10µm、ice 80µm New scheme Liang and Wang（1995） Cloud cover: Combine Slingo and Slingo（1991 ）and Kiehl et al.（1994）; 4 cloud genus : convective cloud, anvil cirrus, inversion stratus andstratiform cloud. Fractional cloud cover and vertical cloud overlapping are considered effective cloud drop radius: liquid cloud: Savijarvi 1997 ice cloud: Kiehl et al. 1996

  21. Cloud cover compared with ISCCP satellite data Using ISCCP Simulator Zonal mean total (TCC), high (HCC), middle (MCC) and low (LCC) cloud cover (%) of the ISCCP data (dashed) and the 5th day forecast by GRAPES using the ORG (thin solid) and NEW (thick solid) cloud scheme.

  23. Comparison of TOA radiation budget Errors reduce from 29-34 3-8

  24. Comparison of net flux

  25. Statistical verification

  26. Low-level southerly bias GRAPES 3-day forecast • To mitigate southerly bias: • Introduce mountain blocking effect in GWD parameterization • Introduce small scale orography-induced form drag

  27. 24/48hr V-wind difference (20090701-0720) By introducing the mountain blocking effect in GWD parameterization Partly alleviated the low-level southerly bias.

  28. Impact of SSO on low-level wind prediction Partly alleviated the low-level southerly bias.
