1 WGNE intercomparison of Tropical Cyclone Track forecast, 2007 Chiashi Muroi Numerical Prediction Division Prepared by Hirokatsu Onoda and Takuya Komori (NPD/JMA) History of Project 1991 : It began with three centers: ECMWF, UKMO and JMA, and the verification area was only western North Pacific : CMC joined : Verification of North Atlantic started : DWD joined. Verification of eastern North Pacific started : Verification of Southern Hemisphere, north Indian Ocean and Central Pacific started : NCEP and BoM joined. A website for this intercomparison project was released : Meteo-France and CMA joined : CPTEC and NRL joined : 9 NWP centers participated in a project. BoM CMC DWD ECMWF JMA France NCEP NRL UKMO

3 TCs to be verified Method of TC verification using MSLP TCs which intensity reached tropical storm (TS) with the maximum sustained wind of 34 knots or stronger are set as targets for this verification. The tropical depression (TD) stage of the targeted TCs is also included in this verification. However, the TCs which stayed at TD level all through their life are excluded. 1. Tracking Method local pressure minimum; a) First position (FT +0hr) : search from the best track position b) Second position (FT +12hr) : search from the first position c) Third and after (FT +24hr~) : search from estimated position from the latest two positions (all position searched within 500km 5 radius) 2. Verification Method Position Error km The distance between the best-track (analyzed) position and the forecast position. Along Track Cross Track bias AT(along-track)-bias : The bias in the direction of TC movement CT(cross-track)-bias : The bias in the rectangular direction of TC movement Detection Rate % Detection Rate (t) = A(t)/ B(t) A(t) ) : The number of forecast events in which a TC is analyzed at forecast time t on the condition that a NWP model continuously expresses the TC until the forecast time t. B(t) ) : The number of forecast events in which a TC is analyzed at forecast time t.

11 2 : Verification using WIND data It s important for a model to express TC correctly not only the position but also wind distribution. A method to decide the TC wind structure of model Set the center to tracked TC point (minimum MSLP), average wind vector in each point of every angle θ on the concentric circle with radius R. The wind vector is interpolated from four nearest points of provided wind grid data (10m U, V). We set values to: r=25km, θ=2, R max =1000km We chose 2 cases in these condition : - TC structure is form of concentric circle - There is no influence of the topography - Being the stage which TC develops most Case1: T0705(USAGI) track forecast 12Z 28Jul Z 29Jul Z 30Jul Z 31Jul2007
