The New Nature Run and International Collaborations in
The New Nature Run and International Collaborations in OSSEs are a very labor intensive project. Need one or two new good nature runs which will be used by many OSSEs. Share the simulated data, compare the results. Nature Run: Serves as a true atmosphere for OSSEs Preparation of the nature run consumes a significant amount of resources. If different NRs are used the results can not be compared. Many nature runs will delay the delivery of the OSSE results. Forecast runs forced by daily SST and ICE will be used for the Nature run. §Analysis is forced by observation and has jump in time evolution §Analysis is affected by the data assimilation scheme §Forecast run allows frequent sampling Analysis lacks the dynamical consistency
New Nature Run by ECMWF Based on Recommendations by JCSDA, NCEP, GMAO, GLA, SIVO, SWA, NESDIS, ESRL Low resolution Nature Run Spectral resolution : T 511 Vertical level: L 91 3 hourly dump Model: IFS cycle 31 r 1 Daily SST and ICE (Provided by NCEP) Period May 1, 2005 - May 30, 2006 To be archived in the MARS system on the THORPEX server at ECMWF Accessed by external users Copies in US for designated users (at NCEP NASA/GSFC, ESRL. SWA ) High resolution Nature run for selected period T 799 resolution, 91 levels, one hourly dump Get initial condition from L-NR one six week periods The simulation of the observation must be done from model levels and full resolution. Low resolution pressure and isentropic level data will be available for diagnostics and evaluation. A large number of standard diagnostic plots have been produced with the 'climplot' software by Adrian Tompkins at ECMWF. Cyclone track diagnostics is produced by Thomas Jung of ECMWF.
