Le Duc National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecast A short range ensemble prediction system applied in TC forecast Le Duc National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecast Jeju, 05 - 2009
Motivation The success of SREPS in other centers (SREPS in NCEP, COSMO-LEPS in ECMWF, SREPS in INM, …): The useful information of EPS in storm movement forecast (ECMWF EPS, NCEP EPS, JMA EPS) SREF can detect the occurrence of extreme phenomena like heavy rainfall, heat wave, …
We take the multi-model, multi-analysis approach. Method Breeding of growing mode (NCEP) Singular vectors (ECMWF) Observation perturbations (CMC) Ensemble transform Kalman filter Ensemble transform We take the multi-model, multi-analysis approach.
SREPS description 4 times per day, 72h forecast (00Z, 12Z), 48h forecast (06Z, 18Z) output format: netcdf (interpolated to a common area) parallel post processing (graphics) access through intranet
Computational resources PC Cluster 16 nodes, 4 cores per node, 8G RAM per node: BOLAM: 3 nodes Eta: 4 nodes HRM: 3 nodes WRFNMM: 6 nodes Dell 2 CPUs, 4 cores per CPU, 16G RAM: pre and post processing
