A short look back COSMO model. . New common name has started to be ‘normal’ Information of university / research partners COSMO Strategy | GM 2007 mathias. rotach@meteoswiss. ch 2
Overall Strategy The COSMO model will be supported and optimally developed to operate on the short to very-short range and with very high (km-scale) resolution. STC, January 2006 data assimilation @ the very high resolution description of surface information exploit satellite information on the local scale high resolution and short range ensemble prediction system COSMO Strategy | GM 2007 mathias. rotach@meteoswiss. ch 3
Overall Strategy Combination: High-resolution ensemble forecasts (based on latest observational information). COSMO Strategy | GM 2007 mathias. rotach@meteoswiss. ch 4
Present stage of implementation • STC / SAC: Concept on Data Assimilation SIR KENDA • STC: Science Plan (numerics, physics, assimilation, ensemble prediction system) • More commitment COSMO Strategy | GM 2007 mathias. rotach@meteoswiss. ch 5
Present stage of implementation • More commitment in PP’s • Improvements: PL can require ‘educated FTE’ PL be more strict in acknowledging contributions, SPM to review attribution of FTE’s SPM to make an overview including names and contributions / checking contributions Some tasks can be required to be ‘core task’, i. e. >=0. 5 FTE PL’s to report once per 3 month on possible problems, SPM to critically review COSMO Strategy | GM 2007 mathias. rotach@meteoswiss. ch 6
International context • New applicant member: Roshydromet COSMO grows…. • COSMO Directors: no [more] growth Licensing model • Collaboration within EUMETNET SRNWP Interoperability Verification • Need to be more ‘present’ internationally HIRLAM: 133 peer rev.

COSMO Dedicated to Quality @ highest resolution These are the COSMO models…. . COSMO Strategy | GM 2007 mathias. rotach@meteoswiss. ch 8
