Preliminary ConclusionsPerturbations -Multi Model ICs/BCs & Perturbations on

Ph. Params:

the use of different driving models seems to dominate with respect to physics parameter perturbations as regards the contribution to the spread; these contributions are different in the two seasons (2mT)

the selected parameters produce a detectable spread among members with the same father (driving model)

spread-skill relationship:

a correlation between error and spread exists, but the

system is under-dispersive -> a better representation of model error is needed

the different driving models contribute differently to the ensemble

skill, but there is a strong dependence on forecast range, season, verification area

the different perturbations can contribute differently to the ensemble skill as well

On-going activities and future plans

continue the analysis over the DOP MAP D-PHASE :

statistical analysis of the system

comparison with the other available mesoscale ensemble systems

verification carried out by HNMS

introduce the new parameter perturbations

analyse the impact of adding soil perturbations

COSMO-SREPS methodology

i.c. and b.c. perturbations -> INM multi-model multi-boundary ensemble (SREPS)

LAM perturbations -> physics parameter perturbations

LAM perturbations - smaller scale errors

driving model perturbations (ics and bcs) - larger scale errors

Mid Term comments

• Mid-upper troposphere: MULTI MODEL IC/BCs give the bigger contribution to the spread

• Surface/lower troposphere: model physics perturbations “gain ground”.
