Distributed Quantitative Precipitation Forecasting Using Information from Radar and Numerical Weather Prediction Models
The benefits of short-term (1–6 h), distributed quantitative precipitation forecasts (DQPFs) are well known. However, this area is acknowledged to be one of the most challenging in hydrometeorology. Previous studies suggest that the ‘‘state of the art’’ methods can be enhanced by exploiting relevant information from radar and numerical weather prediction (NWP) models, using process physics and ...
متن کاملNumerical Weather Prediction Models
JMA operates NWP models to meet various kinds of requirements on weather forecasting. The suite of the NWP models covers a wide temporal range of forecast periods from a few hours to two seasons providing a seamless sequence of products for the public. The Global Spectral Model (GSM) produces 84-hour forecast four times a day (00, 06, 12, 18 UTC) to support the official short-range forecasting ...
متن کاملForecasting wave height probabilities with numerical weather prediction models
Operational weather forecasts now allow two week probabilistic forecasts of wave height. This paper discusses methods for generating such forecasts from numerical model output from the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting Ensemble Prediction System. The ECMWF system produces Monte Carlo style forecasts of wave statistics out to a lead time of 10 days. This ensemble of forecasts ...
متن کاملSoftware Tools and Parallel Computing for Numerical Weather Prediction Models
This paper describes a software environment to facilitate the use of cluster computing for Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models. It presents an empirical study based on the NCAR/Penn State MM5 model and another mesoscale model developed at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). Without appropriate tools, it is tedious and difficult to work with the legacy codes for NWP models. W...
متن کاملReview of numerical methods for nonhydrostatic weather prediction models
Currently available computer power allows to run operational numerical weather prediction models at resolutions higher than 10 km. The aim of such high resolution modeling is the prediction of local weather, including orographically induced winds and local precipitation patterns. In this range the hydrostatic approximation is no longer valid and nonhydrostatic models have to be used instead. Fo...
