KENDA CYCLE
KENDA OSSE suite at ECMWFget fof from nature run (psuedo-observations)
modification of the IC (like in the control run)only for members 1-10
Execution of:• Nature run• Control run• KENDA OSSEis driven by the specification in the .def file (file for the definition of the sms suite)
Set-up of the experiments
• KENDA cycle: – 3-hourly cycles, 24 hours– 20 members– BCs from ECMWF ENS (also ICs for cold start)– no model perturbations– observations: TEMP SYNOP AIREP
Issues under investigation• “sufficient” spread is needed in the OSSE ensemble• after the KENDA step:
– the ensemble mean is correctly driven towards the pseudo-observations
– the ensemble spread is greatly reduced
• pseudo-observation rejected if the spread is too small• techincal issues to be solved related to quality control checks
(pseudo-observations rejected if they are too different from the background, which may be needed for an OSSE)
• further testing: localisation, multi-step analysis
• suggestions for this OSSE are welcome!
