title0827-0306-2016 2023 ECMWF forecast system change

Update of ECMWF forecast system. A new New version of ECMWF IFS model (IFS cycle 41r248r1) was has been introduced at ECMWF . Click  here for full details.

The main consequences for ECMWF-TIGGE data are:
  • Introduction of a new form of the reduced Gaussian grid, the octahedral grid, for HRES, ENS and ENS Extended;
  • Horizontal resolution of the HRES increased from TL1279 / N640 to TCO1279 / O1280, where subscript C stands for cubic and O for octahedral;
  • Horizontal resolution of the ENS increased from TL639 / N320 to TCO639 / O640 for ENS (Days 0 - 15) and from TL319 / N160 to TCO319 / O320  for ENS Extended (Days 16 - 46);
  • For the medium-range ENS there will no longer be a decrease of resolution at day 10: the ENS Days 11 - 15 will be run at the same TCO639 / O640 resolution as ENS Days 0 - 10;

    since 6Z run on 2023-06-27. 

    With IFS Cycle 48r1, the horizontal resolution of the  medium-range ensemble  (ENS) will increase from 18 to 9 km. This will bring the ENS to the same horizontal resolution as the high resolution forecast (HRES). The vertical resolution for both ENS and HRES will remain at 137 model levels and the ENS will continue to have 51 members. For TIGGE, the IFS data is interpolated to the same resolution O640 as up to now.

    title20-01-2022 Fixed issues in KMA data

    After the KMA model update on 1th of July 2022,the values of  Surface net solar radiation were wrong . Also there were some occasional unwanted zero values for some other parameters (2t, 2d, tcc, 10m u/v etc). The affected data has been fixed now.

    title10-03-2022 TIGGE portal at CMA

    The TIGGE portal at CMA should be available now again after a while in  http://tigge.cma.cn/   It should contain in principle  the same data as the TIGGE archive at ECMWF. Currently after some technical issues in the past, the data is still available only for more recent period which should be extended soon to contain more historical data too.

    From the 06UTC forecast on 21st October 2015, the Met Office tropical cyclone prediction (CXML) data is now based on the higher-resolution MOGREPS-G forecasts. MOGREPS-G is run four times a day (00, 06, 12 and 18Z) using a 12-member ensemble with a grid length of approx 33km. Until now, the CXML data was based on the lower resolution MOGREPS-15 ensemble, even though MOGREPS-G data has been supplied to the TIGGE archive since July 2014. Note that each CXML dataset includes tracks from a lagged ensemble of 24 members, i.e., the current forecast and the forecast from 6 hours earlier. The CXML data are available via the NCAR archive at  http://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds330.3/ or see the TIGGE cyclone exchange page at http://www.cawcr.gov.au/projectsresearch/THORPEX/TC/index.htmlcyclone-exchange/ for further information.
