IPILPS Forcing & REMOiso Performanceby Dr Matt Fischer and Kristof Sturm IPILPS Workshop ANSTO 18-22 April 2005
Topics • History • ECHAM • Forcing Variables • Performance - Europe - South America - Australia • FAR interpolation
Resolution ? Climate ? Isotopes ? Locations ? History • PILPS, 8 forcing variables: 2 radiation, pressure, 2 wind, temp., r’fall, humidity • IPILPS, where to get isotope var’s from? • Observations?: high resolution data rare, & no information on spatial variance • Models? - MUGCM - GISS - ECHAM - REMOiso
ECHAM • ECMWF model, aimed at climate simulations • ECHAMiso: Spectral resolution : T30, i.e. 3.75º (~ 450 km) • Vertical resolution: 19 levels • REMOiso - RCM nested in ECHAMiso, run in Europe & South America
Tumbarumba EQY1: Radiation • List
REMOiso • REMOiso was run for 4 years (except Manaus), at =< 5 minute resolution • EQY1 Equilibrium experiment • BC24 experiment • FAR interpolation (for Manaus)
Topics • History • ECHAM • Forcing Variables • Performance - Europe - South America - Australia • FAR interpolation
Locations • Mid-latitude deciduous forest eg. Munich • 48°N 16°E • Tropical rainforest eg. Manaus • 3°S 60°W • Mid-latitude eucalypt forest eg.Tumbarumba • 35°S 148°E

South America • 5 minute simulations, written for 25 cells: • Manaus x9 • Zongo x9 • Rocafuerte x9 • Belem x1 • Izobamba x1
Australia • First experiment for this domain • GNIP Stations:Perth, Darwin, Alice Springs, Brisbane, Adelaide, Cape Grim, Melbourne • Tumbarumba x9 • Padthaway x9

Summary so far ... • REMOiso simulations of Europe and South America compare with data from GNIP stations and general climatology • REMOiso simulations of Australia are too wet or dry for some sites, but generally compare with GNIP data, excpet perhaps for D-excess
Topics • History • ECHAM • Forcing Variables • Performance - Europe - South America - Australia • FAR interpolation
Functional autoregression (FAR) • yt = ayt-1 + bxt + et • but, we can replace x & y by orthonormal vector subsets. • y is 5 minute data, x is 6 hour data • Estimation: of the parameters a, b, e(m, s) using method of Damon & Guillas 2001 • Interpolation: Eigenvectors of x & y are ‘stretched & pulled’ over a new set of 6 hour data to form a new set of 5 min data. • Applications: NCEP

Future : more comparisons! REMOiso comparison of: • the stochastic properties of storms (duration, intensity, rainout) with Australian BOM data (40 yrs of 6 minute rainfall data, Capital cities only) • Isotopic rainout of individual storms,for BOM data this is an inverse problem using storm data + monthly GNIP data
Conclusions • REMOiso, a regional climate model, produces monthly isotope values in 3 domains which compare with GNIP data, except, perhaps for D-excess • FAR can be used to downscale observational data; and is based on functional relationships between different timescales, calibrated with an isotope model.
