On this page
This page serves as a portal to education and training resources useful for the OpenIFS models (IFS, Single Column Model, Offline Surface Model). The links here provide information on:
- Case studies with OpenIFS
- Idealized configurations (e.g. shallow-water) with OpenIFS
- OpenIFS user workshop training programmes
- Other ECMWF training resources
OpenIFS case studies
- Convection case studies - looks at case of severe Tornado formation over the USA and diurnal convection over Africa (based on the OpenIFS Stockholm user workshop)
- Lothar storm - a severe storm that hit Europe in 1999 characterized by rapid development. Initial conditions provided for various resolutions and start dates with suggested exercises.
- Forecast bust 2011 - a case of poor forecast performance over Europe triggered by convective events over the USA.
Idealized cases
It is possible to run various idealized configurations. The following articles explain how:
- Shallow-water model - configure OpenIFS as a single level shallow-water model with either idealized or real initial conditions.
- Aqua-planet - configure OpenIFS to run as an 'aqua-planet'.
- Held-Suarez testcase - configure OpenIFS to run this classic dynamical core test.
