13 Future Plans 1)Qusi operational runnig in )Hybrid T639 GEPS initial perturbations and GRAPES ETKF REPS initial perturbations to improve GRAPES REPS in the next two years

14 The development of SV-based GRAPES GEPS Initial perturbations: Singular vectors computed from TLM and ADJ model of GRAPES model with total energy norm ˆ T (A A) x= xˆ A= ELE -1 L: TLM model. the total energy norm E with GRAPES model : cos cos cos r ' 2 rcos ' 2 r CT p r ' ' 2 r CT p r ' ' 2 ( u) ( v) (( )) (( )) dddz ˆ ( r) ( r) V Tr,θr,Пr,ρr are atmospheric references of GRAPES model The configuration of SV calculation 2.5 degree horizontal resolution and 37 vertical levels 24 and 36 hour optimization time interval Total energy norm, computed inside three localized region The Northern Hemisphere extra-tropics (latitude: 30N -80 N ) The Southern Hemisphere extra-tropics (latitude : 30S-80S) Simplified physical processes are used in calculation of SVs the basic perturbations are u,v theta, pi

15 The generation of initial perturbations from SVs k EN 1 2 k j m k m m, j 0 j j 1 p = (x /,x /,,x / ) = (x / ) Ana per Ana P m

16 Preliminary results of GRAPES GEPS experiments The experiments winter seasons:jan.2 11,2013 (10 days cases) model resolution : horizontal 1 1 ; vertical :37 levels ensemble size :31 ( 30 perturbed members and one control run ) integration length : 10 days the impacts of including simplified physics processes for SV calculation The GRAPES-GEPS has large ensemble mean error, and is underdispersive with small ensemble spread model problem (systematic error) Calculated SVs are too localized

17 Ongoing work and future plan Identify the impacts of model errors for large ensemble mean errors Use the updated TLM and ADJ model of GRAPES for SV calculation Increase the horizontal resolution of GRAPES GEPS

18 Data archive center CMA TIGGE data archive Continue waiting for final decision The final decision will be feedback to WMO officially in this year CMA S2S data archive Yes, CMA will archive S2S data
