Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche SEASONAL PREDICTIONS AND MONITORING FOR SAHEL REGION WMO, Geneva, May 2005 G. Maracchi IBIMET-CNR
Seasonal Forecasting Motivations: Why a “new” seasonal forecasting method is needed? • New insights on African – Monsoon physical mechanism and SST role on precipitation (Vizy&Cook 2001, Giannini et al 2003). • A monthly anomaly data is needed, at least, for any agrometeorological application: seeding time and early warning systems. Ongoing Activity on Seasonal Forecasting: • Setting up a map server – based data dissemination tool for end-users: • qualitatively browsing of available maps; • simple extraction of data for end-users applications: agrometeorological, risk management, hydrology; • Spatial Downscaling techniques;
Seasonal Forecasts: The Analogue Method
Analogues method at Ibimet SST as Predictors over : 1. Niño-3 (5 S-5 N; 150 W-90 W) 2. Guinea Gulf (10 S-5 N; 20 W-10 E) 3. Indian Ocean (5 S-15 N; 60 E-90 E) Most variability during ENSO • OUTPUT: Precip. Anomaly vs. 1979 -2003 Clim. • ISSUED: every month • VALIDITY: Quarterly and Monthly Water Vapour for African Monsoon Feed Asian Monsoon
Method • Standardized* Anomalies (SSTA) obtained by: • Subtraction of the 1979 -2003 SST average • Division by 1979 -2003 SST standard deviation • Standardized Change Rates to consider the trend of the predictors defined as: difference between current and previous standardized SSTA *Standardization is used to have the same order of magnitude of all the predictors
Search for the Analogue Each month in [1979 -2003] is defined by a vector in a 6 dimentional space: Predictors Pi : 1. SST Nino-3 std anomalies 2. SST Guinea std anomalies 3. SST Indian std anomalies 4. SST Nino-3 Change rate 5. SST Guinea Change rate 6. SST Indian Change rate Analog criterion: Minimization of the Euclidean distance in the 6 -dimensional space of predictors Pi: Best Analog year
Seasonal Forecast: Step by Step CURRENT MONTH e. g. : April 2005 ANALOGUE YEAR e. g. : April 1989 MONTH+1 MONTH+2 MONTH+3 e. g. : May 2005 ≡ May 1989 e. g. : June 2005 ≡ June 1989 e. g. : July 2005 ≡ July 1989 CLIMATOLOGICAL AVERAGE e. g. : May, June, July 1979 -2003 ANOMALIES

Qualitative Comparison: Good Accordance 2004 JAS – issued on June
Qualitative Comparison: 2000 Bad Accordance 2002 JAS – issued on June
Monitoring Tools: • HOWI (Hydrological Onset and Withdrawal Index) • Satellite Rainfall Estimates based on Meteosat &SSM/I • NDVI based on Meteosat Second Generation
HOWI Dynamics To diagnose onset and withdrawal vertically integrated moisture transport (VIMT) is used 2005
Monsoon seasons for each year identified using HOWI 1984 no season !!
Monsoon seasons for each year identified using HOWI
Monitoring rainfall – Meteosat & SSM/I Output: every six hours – Resolution ~ 5 km
Monitoring NDVI using MSG Output: daily Resolution ~ 3 km near Equator
DATA DISSEMINATION
A new data dissemination tool: The Map Server IBIMET Remote Data Server Advantages of Map Server • Simple and Efficient Map Displaying • Map Browsing • Data Query and Manipulation • Scale Dependent layers drawing End - User Possible ingestion of spatial downscaling modules in the Map Server.
Conclusion • The improving of seasonal forecasts on Sahel region, especially for agrometeorological applications, is based on a full comprehension of physical mechanism including Hadley Cell dynamics. • Geographical information scale would be coherent with agrometeorological models ( < 10 km ). • Dissemination of seasonal forecast information should take into account the new web-based tools such as Map Server.
