1 Slide 1 EUMETNET SRNWP Interoperability Workshop 2008 Slide 1 Interoperability with regard to Boundary Conditions Alfred Hofstadler Meteorological Applications Section Operations Department ECMWF

2 Slide 2 EUMETNET SRNWP Interoperability Workshop 2008 Slide 2 Boundary Conditions ALADIN/LACE -ARPEGE -Some tests with IFS (Hungary)  Promising results  Needs pre-processing to generate FA (Fichier ARPEGE)  Timeliness issue COSMO -GME: ARPA-SMR, DWD, IMGW -IFS: HNMS, Meteo Swiss, UGM, (LEPS) HIRLAM -IFS

3 Slide 3 EUMETNET SRNWP Interoperability Workshop 2008 Slide 3 ECMWF Boundary Conditions Optional Project Four times a day at 00, 06, 12 and 18 UTC Fully integrated into ECMWF operational system: -Main deterministic runs at 00 and 12 UTC cycles are used to generate Boundary Conditions products -Special BC runs at 06 and 18 UTC (identical configuration) IFS: T799 (~25km) L91 (surface-80km) 4D-Var with 6-hour data assimilation window Forecast with 3-hourly post-processing 0-78 hours Dissemination -Interpolation, rotation, frames, “bitmaps”, backup-products -GRIB only

7 Slide 7 EUMETNET SRNWP Interoperability Workshop 2008 Slide 7 ECMWF BC Interoperability Issues Requirements not supported in Dissemination system: -Special GRIDs, FORMATs, …? Solutions: -Short term: framework for time-critical applications -Long term: modifications to production system Timeliness: -ARPEGE and GME have shorter data cut-off Solutions: -Short term: use 06 and 18 UTC cycles -Long term: review production system Access for non-ECMWF-BC members EPS Boundary Conditions
