Goals • demonstrate how operationally tested state-of-the-art nowcast systems can provide an improved nowcast service in Beijing area where weather is highly impacted by complex topography. • provide the weather service for the Olympics ; • demonstrate the progress of nowcast techniques since S2000 FDP; • promote the application of advanced nowcast techniques in China and other countries.
Participating Systems • Beijing-ANC (BMB/China and NCAR/US) • CARDS (Canada) • GRAPES (CAMS/China) • NIWOT(NCAR/US) • STEPS (BOM/Australia) • SWIRLS (HKO/HK/China) • TIFS (BOM/ Australia) • WDSS II (NSSL/US)
B08FDP Content • Nowcasting • FDP products dissemination • Verification • Social and Economic Impacts Assessment • Training
Nowcast For local thunderstorms: 0-1h nowcast of time- and space-specific storm tracks, intensities, precipitation, and accompanying severe weather such as large hails, wind gust and flash flooding. Forecasts updated every 10min. Resolution better than 2km. For larger scale precipitation system: A mix of expert system based method and NWP model is encouraged to provide 0-6h forecasts of precipitation, severe weather potential if possible. For near storm environments: High resolution (1-4km) NWP model is encouraged to provide 0-18h prediction of storm environments or directly the meso- ß scale weather systems, and associated precipitation, wind.
Data and Infrastructure Available • Observational Network • NWP Models
