Potential Use of an Ensemble of Analyses in the ECMWF Ensemble Prediction System
One of the crucial aspects of the design of an ensemble prediction system is the definition of the ensemble of initial states. This work investigates the use of singular vectors, an ensemble of analyses, and a combination of the two types of perturbations in the ECMWF operational ensemble prediction system. First, the similarity between perturbations generated using initialtime singular vectors...
متن کاملEnsemble inference in terms of empirical orthogonal functions
Many geophysical problems involve inverting data in order to obtain meaningful descriptions of the Earth‘s interior. One of the basic characteristics of these inverse problems is their non-uniqueness. Since computation power has increased enormously in the last few years, it has become possible to deal with this non-uniqueness by generating and selecting a number of models that all fit the data...
متن کاملModeling impulse response using Empirical Orthogonal Functions
There is a growing need for acoustic channel simulators. Among the reasons for this is the increased interest in underwater acoustic communications, but also the fact that measuring the characteristics of the underwater channel is very expensive. A channel simulator provides access to realistic channels, and allows us to compare algorithms and modulations under identical conditions. Channel sim...
متن کاملUsing empirical orthogonal functions derived from remote-sensing reflectance for the prediction of phytoplankton pigment concentrations
The composition and abundance of algal pigments provide information on phytoplankton community characteristics such as photoacclimation, overall biomass and taxonomic composition. In particular, pigments play a major role in photoprotection and in the light-driven part of photosynthesis. Most phytoplankton pigments can be measured by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) techniques appl...
متن کاملThe Prediction of Extratropical Storm Tracks by the ECMWF and NCEP Ensemble Prediction Systems
The prediction of extratropical cyclones by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) and the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) ensemble prediction systems (EPSs) has been investigated using an objective feature tracking methodology to identify and track the cyclones along the forecast trajectories. Overall the results show that the ECMWF EPS has a slight...
