User Meeting 15 June 2005
Monthly Forecasting
Frederic VitartECMWF, Reading, UK
User Meeting 15 June 2005
Monthly Forecasting System
Real-time forecast:
• Coupled ocean-atmosphere integrations: a 51-member ensemble is integrated for 32 days every Thursday.
• Atmospheric component: IFS with the latest operational cycle and with a TL159L40 resolution
• Oceanic component: HOPE (from Max-Planck Institute) with a zonal resolution of 1.4 degrees and 29 vertical levels
• Coupling: OASIS (CERFACS). Coupling every ocean time step (1 hour)
Background statistics:
• 5-member ensemble integrated at the same day and same month as the real-time time forecast over the past 12 years
User Meeting 15 June 2005
Model Changes during the past year
New versions of IFS :
• Cycle 28R2 in June 2004
• Cycle 28R3 in October 2004 (contains a new physic package)
• Cycle 29R1 in April 2005 (contains a new moist boundary layer scheme)
Operational suite (October 2004):
• The frequency of the monthly forecast is once a week instead of once every two weeks.
• Starting date is Thursday instead of Wednesday
• Product dissemination on Fridays
• Hindcast and real-time forecast are archived under different streams (mnfc and mnfh)
• Model climatology and anomalies relative to the model climate are archived

Monthly Forecast 13/01/2005
Day 5-11 Day 12-18
User Meeting 15 June 2005
Future developments (1)End of June :
• Cycle 29R2
• New sea-ice treatment:
Current scheme:
The sea-ice cover is a diagnostic of the ocean model.
There is sea ice if SST is lower than a certain threshold (about -1.7C)
New scheme (Magdalena Balmaseda and Tim Stockdale)
During the first 10 days, sea-ice is persisted from the atmospheric initial conditions.
- After 1 month, we impose climatological sea-ice (from ERA40)
- Between day 10 and month 1, interpolation between persisted sea-ice and climatological sea-ice.
User Meeting 15 June 2005
Example: Sea-ice cover on 1/1/2005

Future developments (2)
-Archiving of probabilities:
1) Probability of weekly mean precipitation and temperature anomalies to be
above or below a threshold
2) Terciles, quintiles, 10% and 90% distributions of weekly mean precipitation
and temperature relative to the model climatology. The boundaries will
also be archived.
User Meeting 15 June 2005
Future developments (3)
Verification plots on the web site (under development):
- Verification of anomaly maps of 2-meter temperature, Z500, precipitation….
- Some probabilistic scores
- Some deterministic scores
The verification plots will be updated every week

Future developments (4)SYSTEM changes
• Autumn 2005: CY30R1. The resolution of the monthly forecasting system will
change from TL159L40 to TL159L62. The additional vertical levels will be in the
mid-troposphere.
• 2006: Merging the monthly forecasting system with VAREPS.

2006 : Merging the monthly forecasting system with VAREPS.
• New MARS archiving for this system. For example stream mnfc will become enfo
• Hindcasts will still be produced with the same resolution as the full VAREPS
system. This could also be useful for calibrating medium-range weather forecasts.
