Outline Measure the capacity of GEOS-5 to predict the MJO. Focus on the reasons for the temporal changes in MJO prediction skills. The experiments were for the period of 1979, Nov Aug 1997 and 2002 where there were strong intraseasonal activities.

AGCM  Finite-volume dynamical core (S.J. Lin)  Moist physics (J. Bacmeister, S. Moorthi and M. Suarez)  Physics integrated under the Earth System Modeling Framework (ESMF)  Generalized vertical coord to 0.01 hPa  Catchment land surface model (R. Koster)  Prescribed aerosols (P. Colarco)  Interactive ozone  Prescribed SST, sea-ice Replay  Apply Incremental Analysis Increments (IAU) to reduce shock of data insertion (Bloom et al.)  IAU gradually forces the model integration throughout the 6 hour analysis period GEOS-5 Atmospheric and Coupled Model Replay System Model predicted changeCorrection from DASTotal “observed change” Analysis Background (model forecast) Reanalysis (MERRA) Assimilated analysis (Application of IAU) 03Z06Z09Z12Z18Z15Z21Z00Z03Z Initial States for Corrector Reanalysis Tendencies for Corrector Corrector Segment (1- and 3-hrly products) CGCM  GFDL ocean model (MOM4)  A replay of the atmospheric data analysis in the CGCM.  Has the potential to massively reduce initialization shocks Reanalysis  MERRA  NCEP, JRA-25, ERA

Concluding Remarks: There are changes in the MJO forecasting skills between 1979 and Higher forecasting skills in 2002 appear to be resulting from the better moisture observations from the satellite. Both AGCM and CGCM predicted realistic MJO signals. Coupling tends to improve forecasting skills. Interactive air-sea coupling is essential in maintaining the intensity of the MJO in GEOS-5 coupled model. GEOS-5 exhibits the different forecasting skills on different phases of the MJO. It has less strength to develop the dry phase of the MJO over the Indian Ocean. Skills are enhanced when intended to develop the wet phase. The magnitudes of the surface latent heat fluxes in AGCM are much weaker than those in the coupled system. The phasing of the AGCM respond to the prescribed MJO SST anomalies and the associated surface flux anomalies are incorrectly simulated. This could be due to inadequacies in the model parameterizations. However, by forcing the atmospheric model with prescribed SST, it may be inherently difficult for AGCM to simulate realistic MJO. The study suggests that the following additional factors for improving MJO forecasts and simulation may be required: a) accurate initial conditions (e.g. wet and dry phases of an MJO over Indian Ocean); b) coupled to an ocean model to allow for air-sea interactions and realistic surface heat and moisture fluxes; c) improve the model physical package.
