EUMETNET-SRNWPCOSMO will contribute to the Interoperability Project

MCH and DWD will participate for COSMO with the following deliverables:

D1: A report documenting the standard output format

D2: A Documentation describing the requirements and specification for the adaptor software (software tools for conversion between different data formats and model grids;

D3: 2-way adaptors that transform the output from COSMO to the standard output format and vice versa.

D4: Enhancements to existing software tools that enable COSMO to process data from the four Global Model

MCH the only country to join the Verification project

Reporting and planning cycleHas been introduced during the last COSMO year

Not all reports and planning documents available in timeWe have to do better

But: Planing will be revised and shifted by 2 monthsRoom for optimization

Marco to report on that later

Priority Tasks have been introducedConsolidation of cumulus convection scheme (former UTCS (v))

Consolidation/unification of diagnostic postprocessing

COSMO – 09/2007

Priority Projects Kenda

Finally staffing for permanent post at DWD successful

UTCS Resource problems seem to be sorted out Additional contributions from HMC, MCH, HNMS and DWD

4 new priority projects have been approved COLOBOC: Consolidaion of lower boundary conditions CONSENS: Consolidation of COSMO-Ensemble

BUs needed to run LEPS and SREPS will be provided by COSMO-partners that are members of ECMWF

Sat-Cloud: Assimilation of Satellite Data with Clouds and Over Land Versus 2

Split into 2 phases USAM will provide resources to compensate for Angela Celozzis matarnity leave

CDC Conservative dynamical core New expert team on dynamics set-up at IMGW Need to proceed in 2 branches Further refinement of planning needed

Titel

Focus on short range and very short range forecasts

Leading role in modelling and data assimilation on the convection permitting scale

The NWP system should lead to

A measurable decline in erroneous predictions

An enhanced forecasts of “high impact” weather

A valuation of the reliability of the forecasts

This results in

Local scale ensemble forecasting system

Global forecasting system that must be expanded into an ensemble prediction system providing the necessary BCs on the regional scale

Maximum use of remote sensing data

Cooperation with Academia Strategy calls for a close co-operation with universities and research

institutes Extramural research

Application-based research supported directly by DWD Proposals must be related to operational weather forecasting

Ertl Center for Atmosphere and Climate Research Initial phase (first 4-12 years) funded by Ministry of Transport Will support several groups of researchers to establish competence clusters Topics

Dynamics of the Atmosphere and Predictability Data Assimilation Model Development Climate Monitoring and Diagnostics Optimal usage of Information from Weather Forecasting and climate simulation

(Societal and Economic Applications Research)
