Status of NCEP / CPC forecast hosting: • Incoming FTP site directory officially setup through NCEP Central Operations (NCO) 24/7 monitored and maintained • Initial file format for model data forecasts • --Three files for each forecast system, each day • --Filename convention: • 20080402_BOMC_OLRA • 20080402_BOMC_U850 • 20080402_BOMC_U200 • --All forecast members and initial conditions in each of the three variable files • --Totals • CPTEC (Brazil) added to list of participating centers
Centers have been able to access and place data at the FTP site • Participating centers status: All centers are currently in the data formatting stage (ECMWF, BMRC, PSD well along in this area) • Received WH2004 code from Matt and have applied the recipe to NCEP GFS • Applied ensemble plotting approach of Nick (slight modification) • Website under development for display of phase diagrams, methodology description, verification, multi-method ensemble, etc. UNDER CONSTRUCTION: http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/precip/CWlink/MJO/clivar_wh.shtml
Example of what we could produce in realtime, suggestions welcome
Examples of model evaluations that can be done in realtime and placed on web good forecastnot so good forecast Obs only go through week 1 in this example (ignore thin green line)
Examples of AC verification plots that can be done in realtime Last 90 days Cumulative
Proposed Timeline: • Finalize application of CLIVAR recipe / plotting guidelines to NCEP model for a prototype Date: 4/18 • All operational centers have data formatted and realtime placement in FTP directory Date: 4/30 • Version 1 phase plots (CLIVAR recipe) created for current operational centers Date: 5/31 • Evaluate, discuss these plots (telecon, e-mail?) Date: June
