1 Advances in weather modelling Robert Fawcett - speaking on behalf of CAWCR Earth-System Modelling and CAWCR Weather and Environmental Prediction May 2013 The Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research A partnership between CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology

2 Weather prediction at the Bureau Now done with ACCESS the Australian Community Climate and Earth-System Simulator numerical weather prediction (NWP) global model large-domain regional model nested within the global model city models (4 km grid size) nested within the regional model tropical cyclone model run as required physical laws of motion, thermodynamics, moisture physics, etc., encoded and discretised as mathematical equations, numerically integrated on very large computers

3 The full ACCESS system Provides a national approach to climate and weather prediction model development Assimilation Dynamic Veg.

11 SREP: Experimental 1.5 km system Strategic Radar Enhancement Project Aim for a system capable of using radar data 3dVAR data assimilation (three-hourly initially) Latent Heat nudging Doppler winds Best coverage is over Eastern NSW (Sydney Domain) Main foci so far Radar and QPE quality control Errors in radar QC introduce spurious rainfall patterns Doppler (clear air) wind QC Assessing model performance Configuring 3dVAR and Latent Heat Nudging (ongoing)

12 1.5km: improved topography 12km 5.5km 1.5km

13 Radar+Gauge (observed) 1.5km, 3dVAR & LHN ACCESS-BN APS0 +2hrs +4hrs +6hrs

14 better Fractions Skill Score (Sep2011-Jun2012) Valid 00Z, 03Z, 06Z, 09Z, 12Z 21Z Neighbourhood verification Gives indication of accurate resolution six-hour forecasts 1.5km+3dVAR+LHN ACCESS-A 12km ACCESS-SY 0.05 (APS0) ACCESS-SY 4km (APS1) 4mm/hr 8mm/hr 1mm/hr 12mm/hr

15 1.5km vs ACCESS-A: 10m wind speed 00Z to 09Z

16 1.5km vs ACCESS-A: screen temperature 21Z to 21Z

17 Where are we? 1.5km + 3dVAR +LHN improve short range hourly precipitation forecasts Resolution matters! (both for UM & VAR: 1.5km vs 12km) Latent heat nudging adds value for ~6 hours Better at suppressing incorrect precipitation Can spin up some weaker precipitation Have improved QC of radar reflectivity Doppler winds seem OK so far Clear air winds comparisons encouraging APS1 4km better than APS o

18 So where to? Address model issues Too many intense cells, too little light rain Cloud microphysics & mixing? Assimilation Doppler winds Use more local data (Surface, AMV, Profilers) Hourly Analyses Roughly triple no. of observations used Cloud analysis to improve latent heat nudging?

19 High-impact weather criteria satisfied? YES NO On Demand modelling capability Select event Provide lat/lon Customised highresolution ACCESS run Customised highresolution ACCESS EPS run Operational ACCESS-A Run downstream models Generate customised products The Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research A partnership between CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology

20 Concluding comments ACCESS development has made significant progress Operational implementation of NWP component of ACCESS Significantly improved performance Fully coupled ACCESS assembled and tested AR5 runs completed and submitted Development of high-resolution version for severe-weather prediction Radar data assimilation Fire-weather studies Implementation in research mode of the ACCESS ensemble prediction system Assessment of the value of different observations, locations etc. The Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research A partnership between CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology 22
