8 Tenth International Winds Workshop 8 Trial of 2-step thinning scheme for MTSAT-2 rapid scan AMVs Step 1 Equal-distance thinning with 200km (one AMV in 2deg. x 2deg. x 100hPa box) One AMV selected per box in the 6 hour time window. Step 2 Equal-distance thinning with 100km (one AMV in 1deg. x 1deg. x 100hPa box) For MTSAT-2 rapid scan AMVs (IR and WV, 4 or 7 min. intervals) One AMV selected per box in the hourly time window. Small observation error correlation MTSAT-2 Rapid Scan AMVs have as almost same accuracy as MTSAT-1R. Presented by K. Shimoji and S. HOSHINO

11 Tenth International Winds Workshop 11 Experimental results for GSM-DA

12 Tenth International Winds Workshop 12 Analysis and First-guess against radiosonde observations BIAS and RMAE of wind analysis for GSM-DA using MTSAT-2 rapid scan AMVs reduced. Ex. U-comp. wind speed BIAS and RMSE, and Z500 difference from 11 to 13 Sep. Anl TEST Anl CNTL Guess TEST Guess CNTL

13 Tenth International Winds Workshop 13 Normalized score against initial forecast ( FT=0 ) Significantly positive impacts (average ~3%) on three-day GSM forecast in Japan area. Ex. Forecast Improvement Rate wrt wrt RMSE for for day day forecasts (CNTL-TEST)/CNTL from from to to Sep. Sep. in in Japan area. Statistically significant Psea T850 Z500 Wsp850 Wsp250 Forecast time (hour) Better Worse

14 Tenth International Winds Workshop 14 Mean TC Track Forecast Error SINLAKU track predictions were worse in the late-forecast time. But TD predictions were better. CNTL TEST TD From 11 to 12 Sep. Below 7 samples From 11 to 13 Sep. 10 samples SINLAKU From 17 to 18 Sep. 4 samples

15 Tenth International Winds Workshop 15 Experimental results for MSM-DA

16 Tenth International Winds Workshop 16 Initial forecasts against radiosonde observations RMSE above 500hPa level were reduced, where many MTSAT-2- RS-AMVs were assimilated. hpa Ex. RMSE and ME against Japan Radiosonde Wind speeds both and September 2008 ( FT: Forecast time ) RMSE (m/s) TEST CNTL FT=0 Init. 00, 06,12, 18UTC hpa FT=0 TEST CNTL ME (m/s)

17 Tenth International Winds Workshop 17 Equitable Threat Score against Precipitation There was a improvement of rain in one-day forecasting for precipitation over 1-15 mm per three hours around Japan. Ex. Equitable Threat Score against Radar-Rainfall composite precipitation data in Japan both and September 2008 (Init. 03,09,15,21UTC : Error bar : 95% confidence interval) Ex. threshold 10mm/3hour TEST CNTL mm/3hour TEST CNTL Forecast time (hour)

18 Tenth International Winds Workshop 18 Mean TC Track Forecast Error SINLAKU track predictions were slightly better in the afterrecuvature stage. Another TD predictions were better. CNTL TEST TD From 11 to 12 Sep. Below 7 samples. From 11 to 13 Sep. 7 samples. SINLAKU From 17 to 18 Sep. 3 samples

19 Tenth International Winds Workshop 19 Summary OSEs for MTSAT-2 rapid scan AMVs using the global and meso-scale NWP system were conducted. The trial of 2-step thinning scheme for MTSAT-2 rapid scan AMVs was performed. This scheme contributed to the increase of AMVs in the vicinity of Japan where AMVs data was sparse heretofore. BIAS and RMSE of wind analysis in GSM and MSM reduced against radiosonde observations using AMVs. This better wind analysis brought the improvement of forecasts in GSM and MSM. SINLAKU track predictions were improved or neutral in GSM and MSM except the late-forecast time of GSM.

20 Tenth International Winds Workshop 20 Future Plan We will investigate the reason why SINLAKU track predictions were worse in GSM. We will perform more OSEs for MTSAT Rapid Scan AMVs to validate accuracy 2-step thinning scheme. Considering usage of the other satellite rapid scan AMVs ( METEOSAT-8 etc.)
