10 Utilization of operational computer system(2005~2011 CPU Ensemble Spread and Error of Ensemble Mean Root Mean Square Error of ensemble mean and ensemble spread of the 500 hpa geopotential height over the Northern Hemisphere (20N-90N) in December 2005 (winter season). TL159L40 BGM (Previous system) The ensemble spread of previous system tended to be large. Such trend is noticeable especially in the early stage of the forecast period. TL319L60 SV (New system) In the new system, the growth of the ensemble spread is similar to the error growth.
11 Performance of Ensemble Mean Forecast Root Mean Square Error of ensemble mean forecast for the 500 hpa geopotential height over the Northern Hemisphere (20N-90N) in August, 2004 and December, /08 (Northern Hemisphere Z500) 2005/12 (Northern Hemisphere Z500) X TL319L60 SV (new system) TL159L40 BGM (previous system) The Z500 anomaly correlation of Ensemble Mean Forecast for the new system is similar to that of the previous system.

12 Performance in Pre-operational Parallel Run Anomaly correlation of 500 hpa geopotential height (Z500) for the ensemble mean forecast over the Northern Hemisphere (20N-90N )in pre-operational parallel run (9-20 November, 2007). TL319L60 SV TL159L40 BGM Root Mean Square Error of the ensemble mean and ensemble spread for the 500 hpa geopotential height over the Northern Hemisphere (20N-90N) in pre-operational parallel run. x RMSE ( previous system ) Spread ( previous system ) x RMSE ( new system ) Spread ( new system ) The new EPS has a 0.5 day advantage that the Z500 anomaly correlation for ensemble mean forecast fall below 0.6. The new system improved the relationship between RMSE of the ensemble mean and the ensemble spread. JMA began operation of the Typhoon EPS The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) has developed a new ensemble prediction system (EPS) known as the Typhoon EPS, aiming to further improve both deterministic and probabilistic forecasting of TC movements. We started operation of the Typhoon EPS from the beginning of the typhoon season in 2008 following preliminary operation since May The 20 km GSM, which became operational from 21 st Nov, supports both TC track and intensity forecasting. JMA started the Typhoon EPS from the beginning of the typhoon season in Uncertainty information associated with TC track forecasts will be able to be provided using the Typhoon EPS. T-PARC could help us to further address TC predictability and improve NWP systems.
13 Singular Vector (SV) calculations in the TEPS SV calculations are conducted targeting on both TCs (up to three TCs are targeted in one forecast event) and mid-latitude. Moist singular vector (Barkmeijer et al. 2001) calculations are performed for TCs, on the other hand, singular vectors for midlatitude are dry singular vectors. The norm to evaluate the growth rate of singular vectors is based on the moist total energy norm (Ehrendorfer et al. 1999). The evaluation interval time is 24 hours for both moist and dry singular vector calculations. Example of target areas: UTC initial Green:mid-latitude target area (fixed to 20N-60N, 100E-180E) Blue:TC target area (20 degrees in longitude and 10 degrees in latitude with its center at a 24-hour forecast TC position) TC 1 TC 2 Based on the strong spread-skill relationship, we categorized the reliability of track forecasts at each forecast time of each forecast event and assigned a reliability index, A, B, or C, to the forecast, where A, B, and C represented categories of the highest, the middlelevel, and the lowest reliability, respectively, and the frequency of each category was set to 40%, 40%, and 20%. Initial time: UTC Reliability: B Reliability: A Reliability: C FT (hours) Spread Reliability 0 3 A 6 22 A A A A A B B B B B B B B B B B C C C C

O-B means Observed minus calculated brightness temperature. The JMA 6-hour global forecasts a used as Background. FASTEM-3 shows better performance (standard deviation) in the calculation for AMSR-E.
