High-resolution numerical modelling of convective precipitation over Northern Italy

Summary A number of forecast experiments were performed in order to assess the capability of reproducing, by means of a limited-area numerical model, the highly structured mesoscale circulations occurring in the Po Valley of Northern Italy during a north-westerly cold front passage across the Alpine chain, with particular attention to the modelling of the effects of organized convection. The case-study occurred during summer 1987 and the model used throughout was the 1989 version of the UB/NMC Limited Area Model (University of Belgrade, National Meteorological Centre of Washington). The model was integrated both with eta, , and sigma, , as vertical coordinates and ECMWF initialized analyses were always used as initial conditions. ECMWF initialized analysis or operational forecast fields were also used for updating in time the lateral boundary conditions. Experiments show qualitative and quantitative agreement with observations, both in upper-air geopotential height fields, in MSLP and in cumulated precipitation. Several modelling issues were also investigated, e.g. sensitivity of the results to horizontal and vertical model resolution and to the influence of the lateral boundaries poitioning, finding large effects of the latter on quantitative precipitation fields. Difficulties in modelling very localized mesoscale phenomena, e.g. organized convective thunderstorms in the Po Valley and Alpine North Foehn in the Milan area, were generally encounted.     

Operational convective-scale data assimilation over Iran: A comparison between WRF and HARMONIE-AROME

The impact of applying three-dimensional variational data assimilation (3D-Var DA) on convective-scale forecasts is investigated by using two mesoscale models, the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF-ARW) and the Hirlam and Aladin Research Model On Non-hydrostatic-forecast Inside Europe (HARMONIE-AROME). One month (1 to 30 December 2013) of numerical experiments were conducted with these two models at 2.5 km horizontal resolution, in order to partly resolve convective phenomena, on the same domain over a mountainous area in Iran and neighboring areas. Furthermore, in order to estimate the domain specific background error statistics (BES) in convective scales, two months (1 November to 30 December 2017) of numerical experiments were carried out with both models by downscaling operational ECMWF forecasts. For setting the numerical experiments in an operational scenario, ECMWF operational forecast data were used as initial and lateral boundary conditions (ICs/LBCs). In order to examine the impact of data assimilation, the 3D-Var method in cycling mode was adopted and the forecasts were verified every 6 hours up to 36 hours for selected meteorological variables. In addition, 24 h accumulated precipitation forecasts were verified separately. Generally, the WRF and HARMONIE-AROME exhibit similar verification statistics for the selected forecast variables. The impact of DA on the numerical forecast shows some evidence of improvement in both models, and this effect decreases severely at longer lead times. Results from verifying the 24 h convective-scale precipitation forecasts from both models with and without DA suggest the superiority of the WRF model in forecasting more accurately the occurred precipitation over the simulation domain, even for the downscaling run.     

The 15‐km version of the Canadian regional forecast system

Abstract

A new mesoscale version of the regional forecast system became operational at the Canadian Meteorological Centre on 18 May 2004. The main changes to the regional modelling system include an increase in both the horizontal and vertical resolutions (15‐km horizontal resolution and 58 vertical levels instead of 24‐km resolution and 28 levels) as well as major upgrades to the physics package. The latter consist of a new condensation package, with an improved formulation of the cloudy boundary layer, a new shallow convection scheme based on a Kuo‐type closure, and the Kain and Fritsch deep convection scheme, together with a subgrid‐scale orography parametrization scheme to represent gravity wave drag and low‐level blocking effects. The new forecast system also includes a few changes to the regional data assimilation such as additional radiance data from satellites.

Objective verifications using a series of cases and parallel runs, along with subjective evaluations by CMC meteorologists, indicate significantly improved performance using the new 15‐km resolution forecast system. We can conclude from these verifications that the model exhibits a marked reduction in errors, improved predictability by about 12 hours, better forecasts of precipitation, a significant reduction in the spin‐up time, and a different implicit‐explicit partitioning of precipitation. A number of other features include: sharper precipitation patterns, better representation of trace precipitation, and general improvements of deepening lows and hurricanes. In mountainous regions, several aspects are better represented due to combined higher‐resolution orography and the low‐level blocking term.

MM5在国家气象中心CRAY-C92的实时预报试验尝试

该文利用国家气象中心CRAY-C92计算机上初步建成的一个可与实时资料连接的MM5中尺度预报试验系统,探讨在目前国家气象中心计算机资源和可获取的实时资料条件下,进行实时预报服务的可行性及可能达到的精度,采用30 km水平分辨率的模式,在1996年夏季北方汛期进行了一个半月的实时预报试验,在1997年6～7月间“庆香港回归”天气服务过程中作了实时预报服务。预报及检验结果表明：MM5模式在强降水预报方面比业务模式HLAFS有较明显的改进,能预报出某些中尺度降水的细化特征,对暴雨和大暴雨区预报有较好的参考价值;该模式可以作为城市预报的补充工具;就目前计算机和资料条件,比6 h时段更短的高频城市降水模式预报尚很难得到满意效果。     

分类与集成方法在降雨预报中的应用

利用预报业务上常用的ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts)全球模式和华东区域模式(WARMS 2.0)的降水预报,建立了基于空间分布相似的降水集成方法,主要分为3个步骤：(1) 实时降水预报场空间尺度分离;(2)检索历史相似预报个例;(3)确定最优集成系数。在第(1)步尺度分离中采用高斯低通滤波方法,将降水场分解成连续性和分散性降水场;第(2)步相似个例检验利用了图像相似技术,根据连续性和分散性降水场综合寻找历史同期相似个例;在第(3)步集成系数确定中根据历史相似个例确定最优集成系数,并应用于最新实时预报中。通过结合图像识别、权重优化、建立历史样本数据库等方法,针对2018—2019年汛期(6—8月)检验结果表明：多模式集成产品的晴雨预报准确率相较于单模式而言有明显提高,且随时间变化表现较为稳定。在暴雨以上量级降水预报方面,集成产品的汛期整体TS评分高于单模式,Bias评分更接近1.0。通过CRA空间检验分析发现,集成产品既能一定程度上弥补全球模式在预报中尺度降水过程时强度偏弱的劣势,又纠正了区域模式在降水落区位置预报方面的偏差,进而实现了暴雨TS评分的提高。

     

Impact of ECMWF,NCEP, and NCMRWF global model analysis on the WRF model forecast over Indian Region

The global model analysis has significant impact on the mesoscale model forecast as global model provides initial condition (IC) and lateral boundary conditions (LBC) for the mesoscale model. With this objective, four operational global model analyses prepared from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Global Data Assimilation System (GDAS), NCEP Global Forecasting System (GFS), and National Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting (NCMRWF) are used daily to generate IC and LBC of the mesoscale model during 13th December 2012 to 13th January 2013. The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model version 3.4, broadly used for short-range weather forecast, is adopted in this study as mesoscale model. After initial comparison of global model analyses with Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) retrieved temperature and moisture profiles, daily WRF model forecasts initialized from global model analyses are compared with in situ observations and AIRS profiles. Results demonstrated that forecasts initialized from the ECMWF analysis are closer to AIRS-retrieved profiles and in situ observations compared to other global model analyses. No major differences are occurred in the WRF model forecasts when initialized from the NCEP GDAS and GFS analyses, whereas these two analyses have different spatial resolutions and observations used for assimilation. Maximum RMSD is seen in the NCMRWF analysis-based experiments when compared with AIRS-retrieved profiles. The rainfall prediction is also improved when WRF model is initialized from the ECMWF analysis compared to the NCEP and NCMRWF analyses.     

概率匹配订正法在湖北襄阳地区降水预报中的应用

数值预报产品在天气预报预警中有着重要的作用。2016—2020年汛期ECMWF模式预报降水与湖北襄阳区域站观测降水的对比分析表明：ECMWF对中雨及以上降雨的预报，第1、2天预报偏小，而第3天预报偏大；三个预报时段强降雨中心位置偏差无规律。为了更好地对ECMWF产品进行释用，提高汛期降水预报准确率，从概率匹配角度研究了不同降水量级订正值，并对2021年汛期ECMWF降水预报进行逐日检验。结果显示：概率匹配订正法可有效地改善模式预报性能，对中雨及以上降雨预报均有良好的订正效果，尤其对第1天暴雨预报改进最为明显。228站平均的TS评分提高了6个百分点，由11.1%增加到17.1%，漏报情况改良了13.5个百分点，由85.0%降为71.5%。采用该订正法开展定量降水预报，由于增加了当地降雨概率分布的背景信息，能表现出比原模式更高的参考价值。     

基于格点实况的海南岛网格晴雨预报检验

Frontal modification and lee cyclogenesis in the Alps: A case study using the ALPEX reanalysis data set

Summary The interaction of a cold front with the Alps is studied by means of real-case numerical simulations for a case occurring at the end of the Alpine Experiment (ALPEX) on 28 April–2 May, 1982. Simulations are performed with the numerical weather prediction model chain Europa-Modell (EM) and its one-way nested high-resolution model (HM) of the German and Swiss Weather Services. The outer EM simulation (56 km horizontal resolution) uses initial and lateral boundary fields taken from the ALPEX-IIIb reanalysis data set. This reanalysis data set is based on the operational EM analysis scheme, but takes into consideration a wide range of field phase data taken during the ALPEX field campaign. A comparison of simulations driven by the ALPEX and ECMWF reanalysis (ERA) data is performed. The simulation driven by the former captures the intensity and vertical depth of the developing lee cyclone substantially better than the corresponding run driven by the ERA. The transient development of the impingement of a cold front on the Alps induces a wide range of mesoscale phenomenon such as flow splitting, mistral, north foehn, cyclogenesis, anticyclonic vortex and bora. These flow evolutions are analyzed using HM simulations with a horizontal resolution of 14 km and visualized performing comprehensive trajectory calculations.

Simulating extreme precipitation with a mesoscale forecast model

Summary ?A statistical analysis of two versions of BOLAM, a numerical model for mesoscale weather forecasting, is performed. The precipitation patterns forecasted by the models are evaluated by means of the standard statistical indexes, using the precipitation values observed in several stations of Liguria and Piedmont Regions (north-west of Italy) during 11 case studies occurred between 1984 and 1994. Results show a remarkable improvement of the performances of the last version of BOLAM, due to the recently implemented features both in the dynamical and the physical schemes of the model. Based on these results, the case study of 22–25 September 1993 (Brig flood) is simulated using integration domains of different size, in order to verify the possible influence of lateral boundary conditions on the model performance. In particular, results show that the use of larger domains improves the capability of the model in localizing the precipitation patterns correctly. In addition, the case study is simulated by introducing a delay in the triggering of downdrafts in the Kain-Fritsh convective parameterization scheme (CPS) as proposed by Spencer and Stensrud (1998). Results show improvements in the capability to forecast heavy rain events, in particular in enhancing the precipitation amounts over the Ligurian area.

GRAPES三维云初始场形成及在短临预报中的应用

围绕GRAPES_Meso的云初始场形成,以ARPS模式云分析方案为基础,优化诊断后应用我国风云二号静止气象卫星云产品、多普勒天气雷达三维组网拼图产品等观测资料结合模式背景信息,根据云热力-动力学原理及观测试验经验关系等,对云初始场的信息进行分析并通过松弛逼近同化方法实现对云内微物理信息同化应用。GRAPES_Meso中采用优化后的云初始场方案,水平分辨率为0.03°×0.03°和0.1°×0.1°的1个月（2014年7月15日-8月14日）连续试验和个例分析结果显示:云初始场形成方案能够分析出飑线等天气系统的云系和云内微物理变量特征。从模拟云图看,包含云初始场信息的GRAPES_Meso的云系的形态特征和分布范围短时临近预报结果更为准确。云初始场信息同化应用后,在1 h的时间尺度上,即可预报出与实况更为接近的降水;0~12 h时间范围内对降水均有积极的影响,可满足短时临近预报的需求,降水量级略偏大。批量连续试验（水平分辨率为0.03°×0.03°和0.1°×0.1°）的各个量级降水ETS（equitable threat score）评分都显著提高。     

辐射参数化的变化对模式中期和月预报的影响

在T106中期数值预报模式和T63气候模式中进行了两种辐射过程参数化的对比试验。目前在这两个模式中用作对照积分的辐射方案(OPE)是ECMWF的早期业务方案，而新的辐射方案(NEW)是ECMWF 1989年5月2日成为业务的版本。试验结果表明，OPE高估了短波水的吸收，导致太大的短波大气吸收和地表太小的向下短波辐射；OPE还低估了长波辐射冷却和大气顶的向外长波辐射(OLR)；NEW增加了地表有效辐射能量和对流层总的冷却，产生了较大的湍流热通量，对流活动加强，降水量明显增加；NEW还使平流层温度偏暖得到矫正。业务平行试验的统计检验表明，NEW对4～7天中期预报有较显著的改进。
