Task 2. Ensemble spread and spaghetti plots

Use the ens_exps_to_an.mv icon and plot the ensemble spread for the different OpenIFS experiments.

Also use the ens_exps_to_an_spag.mv icon to view the spaghetti plots for MSLP for the different OpenIFS experiments.

  1. What is the impact of reducing the resolution of the forecasts? (hint: compare the spaghetti plots of MSLP with those from the previous exercise).

...

  1. How does changing the representation of uncertainty affect the spread?

...

  1. Which of the experiments ens_initial and ens_model gives the better spread?

...

  1. Is it possible to determine whether initial uncertainty or model uncertainty is more or less important in the forecast error?

If time:

  • use the ens_part_to_all.mv icon to compare a subset of the ensemble members to that of the whole ensemble. Use the stamp_map.mv icon to determine a set of ensemble members you wish to consider (note that the stamp_map icons can be used with these OpenIFS experiments. See the comments in the files).
