5 EC-Earth at a glance… Hazeleger et al. Clim Dyn 2011 (minor rev)

6 Seasonal predictions 7 month, 5 member ensemble, start dates Feb, May, Aug, Nov., 1981-2005 Initialization 1.ERA40/ERAInt atmosphere and land, NEMOVAR-ORAS4 ocean (3- D Var, XBTs, hydrography, SST, altimetry; 5 members), DFS4.3- NEMO/LIM sea ice. 2.Perturbations atmosphere: singular vectors 3.Perturbations ocean: 5 members of NEMOVAR (ORA-S4; representing observational error)

7 Seasonal predictions: bias after 1 month May Nov Bias of first month near-surface air temperature re-forecasts wrt ERA40/Int over 1976-2005  Informs model development.

8 Annual predictions 13 month, 5 member ensemble, start dates May, Nov., 1976-2005

9 Annual predictions: correlation skill (7 month lead time) JJA Ensemble-mean correlation of EC-Earth near-surface air temperature re-forecasts wrt ERA40/Int over 1976-2005. Dots for values statistically significant with 95% conf. DJF IC3, Doblas Reyes

10 Decadal predictions 10 years, 10 member ensemble, start date Nov, 1960, 1965, 1970,…,2005

11 EC-Earth hindcasts, drift corrected Wouters et al (KNMI) and Doblas Reyes et al (IC3) in prep

12 CERFACSUKMOIFM-GEOMAR ECMWFDePreSysEC-Earth Decadal prediction skill: anomaly correlation SST (2-5 yr ) SST ensemble-mean correlation (lead: 2-5 year average; 1960-2005) wrt ERSST.

13 Skill dominated by trend! Trend, defined by regression on global mean CO 2 concentrations removed (nb this is not the CMIP5 ensemble, this ensemble did not include volcanic forcing)

14 Historical and climate scenario simulations 1850-2005: 16 members with prescribed GHG and aerosol concentrations, volcanic aerosols and land use. Initialized from a range of start dates from a preindustrial spinup 2005-2100: RCP 2.6, 4.5, 8.5. Initialized from end historical simulations. Ensemb le # Complet ed In progr ess Not started or unknow n Pre- indust rial 11-- Historical161510 RCP4.5141013 RCP8.513823 AMIP#### Decadal (full field) 10 -- Decadal (anom aly) 8-10224-6 Nb different HPC platforms by 10 partners

15 Historical and RCP 4.5 global mean 2-meter temperature EC-Earth V2.3 (7 members, another 9 to process) 12 CMIP5 models, including EC-Earth

16 Trends in EC-Earth and CMIP5 vs observations CMIP5 multimodel mean has slightly larger trend than observed. Idem dito for EC-Earth

17 Trend deviation in historical period vs future scenario No relation & clouds of model ensembles are found  model uncertainty large

18 Developments 1)Higher resolution: T799 atmosphere – 0.25 deg ocean, T799 and higher AMIP  resolving synoptics relevant to society 2)New components: atmospheric chemistry (TM5), dynamic vegetation (LPJ-GUESS), ocean biogeochemistry (PISCES) 3)Couple to Integrated Assessment Model (IMAGE) 1)Land use scenarios 2)Emission policies (e.g. air quality vs GHG) 3)Coupled feedbacks (e.g. via crop damages)

19 Conclusions and outlook Seamless prediction strategy works (but not too strictly defined) Model development, e.g. via initial biases Near term prediction skill in EC-Earth: ENSO skill at seasonal time scales Skill in (externally forced) trend on multiannual time scales  attention for radiative forcing needed (aerosols) Some skill in PDV and AMO up to 5 years Historical and future scenarios: EC-Earth similar to multi-model mean with slightly too high trends Good circulation characteristics More info: http://ecearth.knmi.nl
