title17-06-2020 CMA (babj)

The CMA global ensemble prediction system was upgraded on 26 December, 2018. The first updated CMA outputs for TIGGE archive have been ingested only since 1 June 2020.

The main changes in this upgrade are:

  • The forecast model system is changed from TL639 L60 to GRAPES_GFS, correspondingly, the horizontal resolution is changed to 50km, and the model top is changed to 3hPa.
  • The initial perturbation method is changed from Bred Vector to Singular Vector.
  • The SKEB is introduced in the model perturbations.
  • The ensemble size is changed from 15 to 31.

Full details are available in the page Models.

title15-04-2021 ECCC data resolution change

The horizontal resolution of the ECCC contribution to TIGGE has been increased from 1.0 to 0.25 degree since 12Z  Also the GRIB 2 packing has been changed to simple instead of complex one (that will generally  increase file sizes but also  significantly reduce time needed to process such data).

UM upgraded to version PS39 from 12UTC cycle on 11 July 2017.

TIGGE global ensemble (the Met Office MOGREPS-G) was upgraded to 20km (from 33km), N640L70, 280x960 lat-long grid, 0.1875 N-S x 0.28125 E-W degrees;  the MOGREPS-G will continue to run four times a day (00, 06, 12 and 18UTC), but the number of ensemble members per run has increased from 12 to 18, with the last two runs being combined to create a 36-member time-lagged ensemble.

Forecast length remains at 7d 6h.

Relevant associated deterministic/data assimilation changes:

  • Replace RTTOV9 by RTTOV11
  • New ground GPS observation operator
  • Improved snow analysis reconfiguration
  • Upgrade to UM10.6

title08-11-2016 MetOffice

UM upgraded to version PS38 from 6UTC cycle on 8 November 2016.

The changes include predominantly a satellite applications package to include more satellite channels, re-tuned observation error estimates and better quality control of observations. This is expected to improve the headline NWP index scores by about +0.5 to +1.0 against analyses, observations, and independent ECMWF analyses.

Satellite package includes:

  • Improved use of infrared and microwave satellite data over land, providing more temperature information at lower levels.
  • Improved global humidity forecasts, due to more weight being given to satellite humidity information in our analysis.
  • Incorporation of more Chinese polar orbiting satellite data, following our initial introduction in March 2016.
  • The introduction of data from a new Japanese Geostationary satellite, Himawari-8.
