  1. Nowcasting-Oriented Data Assimilation in GRAPES Briefing of GRAPES-SWIFT Jishan Xue1 Feng Yerong2Zitong Chen3 1, State key Laboratory of Sever Weather, CAMS, CMA 2, Guangdong Provincial Observatory , GRMC, CMA 3, Guangzhou Institute of Tropical and Oceanic meteorology, CMA Contributors: Wan Qilin3, Chen Dehui1, Liu Yan1, Liu Hongya1

  2. Outline • Motivation • System structure • GRAPES and its High Resolution assimi.-pred. cycle • Severe weather integrated forecast tools • Some tests and real time running • Unsolved issues and plan for further development

  3. Motivation • Combine the high resolution NWP products ( GRAPES) and nowcasting technologies (SWIFT) to improve severe weather forecasts within 6 hours • Provide a new tool for the weather services for Olympic Games 2008 Beijing • Promote the further development of meso NWP technologies driven by expanded application of NWP

  4. Global-Regional Assimilation and PrEdiction System Schematic description of GRAPES • Chinese new generation NWP systems • Variational data assimilation: 3DVar-available, 4DVar-being developed; • Non-hydrostatic model with options of global and regional configurations • Used in various applications ranging from severe weather events, general circulation modeling, environmental issues,……

  6. GRAPES cycle of hourly assimi.-fcst. and Prediction • Non-hydrostatic model with spatial res. 13km (1km finally) • 3DVar for analysis • Digital filter controlling noisy oscillation • 1 hour time window • Data ingested: Temp Synop Doppler Radar AWS AIRep Wind profiler Two test beds: Beijing area (for BO2008) Pearl river delta

  9. Severe Weather Integrated Forecast Tool • Radar based approaches • Automatically monitoring data inflow and quick response • High res. (1:5000) GIS coupled • Meso scale precipitation systems as the essential objective to detect and predict • Main components: Storm cell (SC) identification and QPE Estimation of movement of the cells (TREC wind) Extrapolation of SC, QPF

  10. Main components of SWIFT • Currently available: • Identification of SC (storm cell) • Potential of intense convection（tornado , hail, thunderstorm） • TREC wind (estimation of SC movement) • SC Tracking and forecasting • Quantitative precipitation estimation（QPE） • Quantitative precipitation forecast (QPF) • To be developed: • Potential of lightning • Forecasts of storm-genesis and dissipation • Urban water logging forecast • Debris flow forecast

  12. Nowcasting Algorithms SC identification: • SC defined by a radar echo with reflectivity reaching specified thresholds • Correlation between storm cell and observed severe weather events. Estimation of movement • Spatial consistency check • Special treatment for missing data area • Adjustment based on continuity hypothesis • Tracking radar echo by correlation

  14. Extrapolation and forecasting algorithms • TREC winds are used for extrapolation within 1 hour • TREC winds are also used to find the model levels on which the NWP wind fits the movement of CS ( 500hpa or higher in most cases ) • Forecast of CS with weighting mean of NWP and TREC • Statistical approach with NWP products as predictors Weight of TREC Weight of NWP 1 hour
