11 Bias Correction Method & Application Bias Correction Techniques array of methods Estimate/correct bias moment by moment Simple approach, implemented partially May be less applicable for extreme cases Moment-based method at NCEP: apply adaptive (Kalman Filter type) algorithm decaying averaging mean error = (1-w) * prior a.m.e + w * (f a) For separated cycles, each lead time and individual grid point, a.m.e = averaging mean error 6.6% Test different decaying weights. 0.25%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 5% and 10%, respectively Toth, Z., and Y. Zhu, % 1.6% Decide to use 2% (~ 50 days) decaying accumulation bias estimation 11

22 Calibration of precipitation forecast Implemented May 2004 (HPC and CPC endorsed) Latest experiments for every 6hr instead of 24hr METHOD 1) Construct cumulative frequency distributions for forecast QPF & corresponding observed values 2) For each forecast value, find the observed value that has the same frequency as forecast value 3) Re-label forecast value with corresponding observed value DETAILS Observations used: CCPA climatelogcal calibrated precipitation analysis Adaptive method, training data accumulated over: Most recent ~30-day period Decaying averaging More weight on most recent data Continental US Linear inter/extrapolation Corrections applied CONUS (and globally) on model grid Correction is function of forecast value 1*1 degree (and 5km downscaled) spatial resolution Every 6-hour forecast interval (3-hour later) 22
23 Precipitation calibration for winter season (CONUS only) Comparison for GFS and ensemble control (raw and bias corrected) ETS for all lead-time ETS for 0-6hr fcst BIAS for all lead-time BIAS for 0-6hr fcst Perfect bias = 1.0 The probabilistic scores (CRPS -not show here) is much improved as well. We are still working on the different weights, different RFC regions, downscaled 23 to 5km as well. More results will come in soon. Plan for implementation: Q2FY11
24 NCEP next GEFS Configurations (Q4 FY11) - Yuejian Zhu (07/14/2010) According to total resource distribution for each model (Jigsaw puzzle) GEFS has 40% of total CPUs (52 of 130) during +4:35 and +6:00 for main integration and main post-process Current: GEFS and GEFS/NAEFS post processing T190L28 for all 384 hours lead-time 20+1 members per cycle, 4 cycles per day Computation usage: average 20 nodes (22 high mark) for 50 minutes Next GEFS and GEFS/NAEFS post processing (Q3/Q4FY2011): T254L42 (0-192hr) increasing both horizontal and vertical resolutions Factor of 3.6 by comparing T190L28 T190L42 ( hr) increasing vertical resolution Factor of 1.5 by comparing T190L members per cycle, 4 cycles per day Total cost for integration and post processing Factor of 3.6 for 0-192hrs, factor of 1.5 for Average factor for processing (0-384hrs) is nodes for 50 minutes (start: +4:35 end: +5:25) Why do we make this configurations? Considering the limited resources Increasing horizontal resolution is more important than vertical resolution 24
25 Different ensemble size from The same model resolution (T126L28) 80 members, 60 members 40 members, 20 members 10 members, 5 members Trade off for resolution And ensemble size 20h is for T190L28 Others are T126L28 20 (T190) = 70 (T126) 25
26 Plans for improvement NCEP/GEFS Looking for: Higher resolutions New GFS model Hind-cast at real time and reforecast (ESRL) Coupling ocean-land-atmosphere model for GEFS Considering ocean model in ESMF MOM4 Extended to 45 days Hydro-meteorological ensemble (river ensemble) Pending on operational LDAS/GLDAS Science: Optimum ETR initialization Combine EnKF initial analysis with ETR Stochastic physics to improve forecast uncertainties 26
27 Development Plan of Statistical Post-Processing for NAEFS Cui/Yuan s THORPEX proposal ( ) Opportunities for improving the post-processor Utilization of additional input information More ensembles - high resolution control forecasts, SREF, GEFS Using reforecast information to improve week-2 and precipitation Improving analysis fields (such as RTMA and etc..) Improving calibration technique Calibration of higher moments (especially spread) Use of objective weighting in input fields combination Processing of additional variables with non-gaussian distribution Improve downscaling methods Future plan (overlook beyond 2-3 years) 27 Bias correct all model output variables (>200 which include precipitation)
28 Flow Chart for Hybrid Variation and Ensemble Data Assimilation System (HVEDAS) Ensemble fcst t=j-1 j ETR/EnKF t=j Ensemble fcst t=j, j+1 ETR/EnKF t=j+1 Lower resolution Two-way hybrid Estimated Background Error Covariance from Ensemble Forecast (6 hours) Replace Ensemble Mean? Estimated Background Error Covariance from Ensemble Forecast (6 hours) 3DVAR/4DVAR t=j Best Analysis? 3DVAR/4DVAR t=j+1 Higher resolution 28
29 NAEFS inclusion of FNMOC ensembles Yuejian Zhu & Bo Cui December
30 Value-added by including FNMOC ensemble into NAEFS T2m: Against analysis (NCEP s evaluation, 4 of 4) Stat. corr. NAEFS + FNMOC 0.5 CRPS skill Raw NCEP NAEFS Raw NCEP ensemble has modest skill (3.4d) Statistically corrected NCEP ensemble has improved skill (4.8d) Combined NCEP CMC (NAEFS) show further increase in skill (6.2d) Addition of FNMOC to NAEFS leads to modest improvement (6.7d) 30
31 Example of score cards for ensembles evaluation Comparison for NAEFS with/without FNMOC ensembles Blue means better to have FNMOC ensemble in NAEFS, red is not 31
32 Software public access through subversion Available software already in NWS operation Bias correction for all near Gaussian distribution variables Downscaling for surface variables Include maximum/minimum temperature (derived variables) Include wind speed/direction (derived variables) Precipitation calibration (2004 version) New version will be implemented soon Ensemble verification packages Verification for ensemble mean (such as RMS error, bias, et al.) Verification for probabilistic forecast Advantage shared the same algorithm MSC (Meteorological Service of Canada) uses it in operation FNMOC already receive it, will use it later this year ESRL/GSD (Toth) in testing ESRL/PSD (Whitaker) use EMC s verification package OHD (DJ Seo) shared verification package Many institutions use EMC s verification package Public access through subversion The same as GFS, GSI, HWRF and et al. 32
33 Background!!! 33
34 Preliminary Conclusions and Plans Individual ensemble systems (individual Centers forecasts) NCEP and CMC have similar performance FNMOC performance similar to NCEP & FNMOC for near surface variables, including precipitation FNMOC is less skillful than NCEP and CMC for upper atmosphere variable (500hPa) Combined ensemble system (without bias correction) Multi-model ensembles have higher skill than single system Adding FNMOC ensemble to current NAEFS (NCEP+CMC) adds value for most forecast variables Noticeable improvement for surface variables Minimal improvement for upper atmosphere Combined ensemble system (with operational NAEFS bias correction) Improved near surface variables with FNMOC ensemble NCEPbc + CMCbc + FNMOCbc Less improvement for upper atmosphere (e.g. 500hPa height)) Some degradation for short lead times (related to large spread in FNMOC ensemble) Plan to NAEFS upgrade (NUOPC IOC Q1FY11) Based on score card for past season Include the variables/parameters to current NAEFS if it adds values 34
35 A proposed configuration (based on 16 July 2010 telecon discussion) Assume T254L42 GFS model used for 0-8 days. From days , T190L42. Estimated CPUh for 16-day forecast on DOE Franklin. Say 30 years, 365 days/year, 10 members, 2x daily ~= 20.2M CPU h, which is greater than 14.5 M total allocation. Also, will need perhaps 10% of allocation for generating initial conditions, testing. Proposed configuration based on discussion: At 00Z, full 10- member forecast every day for 30 years out to 16 days. At 12Z, a T254L42 ensemble to day 8, 5 members, reforecast every other day. Total = M CPUh = M CPUh. Doable. Extra CPU time may be devoted to running some 45-day reforecasts at T126 for the sake of comparison against CFSR reforecasts, with coupled ocean model (it d be nice to have a few spare cycles to do this)
