  1. HELLENIC NATIONAL METEOROLOGICAL SERVICE (HNMS) COSMO GENERAL MEETING Krakow, 15-19 September 2008 PLANS and EXPECTATIONS from COSMO-GR in HNMS Dr. Theagenis Charantonis e-mail: tchara@hnms.gr

  2. Achievements from last year • Operational use of Cosmo-GR for issuing marine routes in the AegeanSea (next slide). • Almost full compliance with the PP that we participated • Web site support

  3. Status of our NWP System Hellenic National Meteorological Service models are: • COSMO – GR • RAMS • SKIRON

  4. Configuration of Cosmo-GR at HNMS HARDWARE Main Machine: IBM Power4 Cluster 0.3TerraF Sub.Perf (sp) Number of CPUs: 140 (~half CPUs from available total) Backup Machine: HP Itanium Cluster 50GF(sp) as back up and research purposes MODEL Domain size: 40.5 x 24.5 deg Horizontal grid spacing: 0.0625 Number of layers: 35 Time step: 30 sec Forecast range: 72 hrs (in 45 min) Initial time of model runs: 00:00 12:00 Initial state: From ECMWF From DWD Model version running: 4.0

  5. NMC ECMWF/DWD Cosmo-GR MSLP GPH U V T Td Q PRECI 6-7 km Initial fields 00:00 UTC, 12:00 UTC The whole configuration of COSMO-GR

  6. Theoperational domains of SKIRON-Εtaand COSMO-GR

  7. Strategy of HNMS • Implementation of 2.7Km COSMO-GR and parallel running for Verification purposes, especially for some important cases affected Greek area. • Development of special applications to assist forecaster’s work (TAF, Sea Bulletins etc) • Implementation of COSMO-GR in Nowcasting System • Collaborations with Greek Universities and other National Research Institutes

  8. + 24 hrs Improvements - applications - research in HNMS for the next year using Cosmo-GR • Better incorporation in Nudging of AMDAR, buoys and AMS information • Operational use of COSMO-GR for pollution events over the East Mediterranean Sea (Collaboration with WMO and MeteoFrance) • Systematic verification of all operational models • Use of the Common Verification developed as a priority project • Use of SREPS results
