24 Winter Extremes Winter 2013/14 Heavy rainfalls caused widespread flooding, power cuts and major disruptions to transport. Winter 2009 Heaviest snowfall for 18 years chaos on roads, railways and airports, schools and businesses closed. Costing the economy an estimated 1.2bn in lost working hours

30 How much data is available? Recent Observations: = 30 cases Met Office Decadal Predictions: x 100 = ~3500 cases Assessment of rare or unprecedented events 100x more data than observations Things that have not yet happened but are physically plausible Seasonal forecasts are started near to true observed state (minimising model biases) Global ocean-atmosphere simulations run freely for many months produce truly new outcomes away from observations
31 Future Challenges Growth of data. In two or three years time, need to handle 60 terabytes of data Expectation of greater accuracy and lead in times Better systems for modelling and verifying impacts Better ways to deal with orographic influences in both short term and longer term forecasting Particularly for accurate rainfall estimates over Wales
