  3. SRNWP actions in progress • SRNWP / DWD PEPS Project • Dissemination of hourly SYNOPs in Europe • Data hub for high resolution, non GTS, 24-hourly accumulated daily precipitations • Model comparison • New format of the SRNWP Annual Meetings COSMO Annual Meeting 2005, 20-23 September 2005, Zurich (Switzerland)

  8. SRNWP actions in progress • SRNWP / DWD PEPS Project • Dissemination of hourly SYNOPs in Europe • Data hub for high resolution, non GTS, 24-hourly accumulated daily precipitations • Model comparison • New format of the SRNWP Annual Meetings COSMO Annual Meeting 2005, 20-23 September 2005, Zurich (Switzerland)

  9. Motivations • The spatial density of the SYNOP precipitations is absolutely inadequate for the validation and verification of the very high resolution models • Creation of a “data hub for the precipitation observations” as already done by EUMETNET at the Met Office for the radar and wind-profiler data (“one stop chop” strategy) • In the future - still a lot of development work to do – high resolution precipitation data will also be used in the data assimilation process COSMO Annual Meeting 2005, 20-23 September 2005, Zurich (Switzerland)

  10. Situation today in Europe Who is collecting today in Europe 24-hourly accumulated high-resolution precipitation observations? DWD (for Consortium COSMO) ECMWF (data from the Members) EU Project ENSEMBLES EUROGRID show-case (non yet accepted) Report in the SRNWP web site. COSMO Annual Meeting 2005, 20-23 September 2005, Zurich (Switzerland)

  11. Candidates Two very good candidates: = DWD - Does already this work but for COSMO Members only = ECMWF - Receives the data from all the Members and associated Members and makes gridded analyses COSMO Annual Meeting 2005, 20-23 September 2005, Zurich (Switzerland)

  12. SRNWP actions in progress • SRNWP / DWD PEPS Project • Dissemination of hourly SYNOPs in Europe • Data hub for high resolution, non GTS, 24-hourly accumulated daily precipitations • Model comparison • New format of the SRNWP Annual Meetings COSMO Annual Meeting 2005, 20-23 September 2005, Zurich (Switzerland)

  13. Reason • At least 3 times – in Council or ICWED Meetings – our Directors have expressed the wish of a model comparison over Europe. • It has to be cheap. Thus only main models will be compared: - LM (run by the DWD) - Aladin-France - HIRLAM (reference version at FMI) - UM (North-Atlantic / Europe version) COSMO Annual Meeting 2005, 20-23 September 2005, Zurich (Switzerland)

  14. Facts • Already today the Met Office compares daily the precipitations of these 4 models over Great-Britain (24-hourly accumulated) • The Met Office has been chosen for this comparison as the work will consist for him of an extension of an already existing task: several of its tools will be used directly COSMO Annual Meeting 2005, 20-23 September 2005, Zurich (Switzerland)

  15. Plan • Verified will be from T+0 to T+48 at 6h intervals: - precipitations - mean sea level pressure - 2m temperature - 10m wind • Scores for precipitations: - frequency bias - equitable threat score - log-odds ratio - Hansen-Kuipers skill score COSMO Annual Meeting 2005, 20-23 September 2005, Zurich (Switzerland)

  16. Results and Costs • Results Monthly mean statistics will be calculated and published on the Met Office external internet site under password protection • Costs The costs that will be submitted to the EUMETNET Council will amount to the salary of a scientist for 9 months per year COSMO Annual Meeting 2005, 20-23 September 2005, Zurich (Switzerland)

  17. SRNWP actions in progress • SRNWP / DWD PEPS Project • Dissemination of hourly SYNOPs in Europe • Data hub for high resolution, non GTS, 24-hourly accumulated daily precipitations • Model comparison • New format of the SRNWP Annual Meetings COSMO Annual Meeting 2005, 20-23 September 2005, Zurich (Switzerland)

  18. The SRNWP Workshops • Variational Methods (Met Office) • Nonhydrostatic Modeling (DWD) • Numerical Techniques (Meteo-France) • Soil data analysis and soil processes (INM/SMHI) • Statistical and Physical Adaptation (ZAMG) • Meso-scale verification (KNMI) • Short-range EPS (UGM) COSMO Annual Meeting 2005, 20-23 September 2005, Zurich (Switzerland)
