ECMWF 41R2 Press Release
PRESS RELEASE 10 MARCH 2016 EUROPEAN MEDIUM-RANGE WEATHER FORECAST MODEL UPGRADED TO BEST EVER • More accurate global weather predictions at record-breaking resolution • Number of grid points tripled to 900 million, evenly distributed around the globe • Gain in predictability of up to half a day at same level of quality Years of scientific and technical work came to fruition today as the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) launched a significant set of upgrades, dramatically increasing the quality of both its high-resolution and its ensemble forecasts. The changes nearly halve the distance between global weather prediction points, substantially increasing the effective resolution of the final forecast. As a result, ECMWF’s numerical weather predictions, which are widely used by Europe’s meteorological services, are more accurate than they have ever been before. These model upgrades represent a huge leap forward for ECMWF’s 34 Member and Co- operating States, giving National Meteorological Services access to higher resolution and improved data to help them deliver weather forecast services. Europe’s weather can now be predicted with more detail, with greater accuracy, and as a result, up to half a day further ahead. The upgrades are set to offer improved range, reliability and accuracy to provide earlier warnings of adverse conditions and extreme weather to help protect property and vital infrastructure, and to aid long-term planning for weather-dependent industries. Speaking for Météo-France, Nicole Girardot commented: “The ECMWF upgrade to its model resolution represents a significant step. The advances brought by this new version will allow Météo-France to improve the quality of its own forecasts and the wind forcing for warnings of poor air quality and dangerous conditions at sea.

Soon thereafter Meteo- Swiss and the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) joined the project. Just recently, the Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC) decided to become a member of the NinJo consortium. The aim of the project is to replace aging workstation systems (Kusch 1994, Koppert 1997) and to provide an unified environment to support forecasting and warning operations. Besides the development of new, or the integration of recently developed applications, it is necessary to provide most of the capabilities of the existing systems. Forecasters are conservative and often would like to stay with their old tools. So we are facing an enormous pressure to implement a system that does (nearly) everything better. Since NinJo is a multi-national project with 5 Figure 1: A NinJo window with 3 scenes: gridded partners, diverse hardware and software infra- data (left), surface observations ( top right), satellite structures, distributed development sites, and local image (bottom right) meteorological needs, a strong requirement is to built the software with a sound software architecture The following list shows NinJo’s main features : that could easily be adapted to the needs of the partners.

DWD's Climate Services Help to Adapt to Climate Change As Well As Possible
2010s 2000s 1990s 1980s 1970s 1960s 1950s DWD’s Climate Services Observing – Modelling – Consulting Foreword Dear readers, Climate change presents us with great challenges. Extreme weather events and changes in the climate can cause humanitarian disasters and huge damage to the environment. Decision-makers in politics, administration and business require meaningful information about the changing climate and the climate of the future to be able to develop preventive measures against the consequences of climate change. There is therefore demand for high spatial resolution information as well as information for specific fields of action, such as water management and health. The Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD) regards the provision of climate information as a comprehen- sive and user-oriented service. The DWD has the biggest climate data collection in the whole of Germany and offers many years of experience in climate monitoring, climate modelling on different space and timescales and model result evaluation. The DWD is also well networked with other scientific institutions at the national and international level and ensures that customers are given state-of-the-art scientific information. Besides supplying data and information on various portals, a key aspect of our mission is communicating directly with and providing consultancy services to our customers. This also helps enhance users’ capability to use climate data in various areas of application. The DWD also assists in the development of climate services in other countries, including, in particular, developing countries. All these activities take account of the elements for successful climate services recommended by the Global Framework for Climate Services. Our aim in publishing this brochure is to provide a readable overview of all the climate services provided by the DWD.

The Model Chain of the Deutscher Wetterdienst and Its Use in Operational Weather Forecasting
THE MODEL CHAIN OF THE DEUTSCHER WETTERDIENST AND ITS USE IN OPERATIONAL WEATHER FORECASTING M. KURZ Head , Department of Weather Forecasting, DWI) INTRODUCTION According to law the Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD) has to guarantee the meteorological safety of air and sea navigation. The DWD has also to provide forecast information for a wide variety of users including the public, private enter- prises and media. These tasks are carried out in the business area ,Forecast Cus- tomers and media,, of the new organizational structure of the DWD. Within the international collaboration of the National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHS's) organized by the World Meteorological Organi- zation (WMO), the DWD runs one of the Regional Specialized Meteorological Centres (RSMC's) of the Global Data Processing System (GDPS) of the World Weather Watch (WWW). In this function the DWD has to provide basic weather analyses and forecasts for Europe and the North Atlantic. The backbone of all activities of the DWD in weather forecasting is a chain of Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP)-models providing analyses as well as forecasts up to seven days ahead. In this paper this model chain and its use in operational forecasting is described. TI IF MODEL Cl IAIN The model chain of the DWD consists of three NWP models, namely - a global model (GM), - a limited area model covering Europe and the North Atlantic (called ,Europa- Modell,,, EM), and - a high resolution model covering Germany and the neighbouring countries (called ,Deutschland-Modell,,, DM).

Kunst Im Deutschen Wetterdienst
Kunst im Deutschen Wetterdienst Patrick Raddatz Before And After Science „Aufgabe von Kunst ist es heute, Chaos in die Ordnung zu bringen“ Kunst im Deutschen Wetterdienst Als ich diesen Aphorismus des Philosophen Theodor Adorno (1903 – 1969) neulich in einem populären Kunst - magazin las, kamen mir unwillkürlich die Arbeiten von Patrick Raddatz in den Sinn, die unsere Kunst-Jury gerade für die Ausstellung des Deutschen Wetterdienstes im Rahmen der Offenbacher Kunstansichten 2013 ausgewählt hatte. Ich stellte mir die Frage, ob der in Berlin geborene Künstler mit seinen „Nebelbildern“ Partrick Raddatz eigentlich auch ein Chaos in einer vorgegebenen Ordnung schaffen will. Den von ihm abgelichteten Before And After Science menschenleeren Räumen wird durch künstlichen Nebel quasi der Boden entzogen, die Trittsicherheit geht verloren, das Ungewisse lauert in einer nicht zu fassenden Tiefe. Die vermeintliche Ruhe löst Unbehagen beim Betrachter aus. Chaos? Das Adorno-Zitat geht noch weiter: „Künstlerische Produktivität ist das Vermögen der Willkür im Unwillkürlichen.“ Dieser Satz war mir äußerst willkommen, glaubte ich doch damit Patrick Raddatz durch - schaut zu haben. Habe ich das wirklich oder denkt unser Protagonist viel subtiler? Diese Frage mag ein Ein - stieg in unsere Ausstellung sein, die dem Konzeptkünstler und Fotografen gewidmet ist, der an der Offenbacher Hochschule für Gestaltung studiert hat. Wir sind Patrick Raddatz besonders dankbar, dass er einige Arbeiten in den Räumen unserer Offenbacher Zentrale gefertigt hat, nämlich in unserem TV-Studio und unseren Laboreinrichtungen. Ungewohnte Ansichten! Neue Einsichten? Der Deutsche Wetterdienst versteht sein kulturelles Engagement als gesellschaftlichen Auftrag und selbst - verständlichen Bestandteil seiner Unternehmenskultur. Die Kunstwerke in unserem Haus sollen keine bloßen Dekorationsobjekte sein, sondern unsere Räumlichkeiten zu anregenden Kommunikations- und Begegnungs - stätten machen.

DWD) I N the Framework of Nuclear Emergency Response Programmes
P-11-296 Surveillance of Radioactivity in the Atmosphere by the Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD) i n the Framework of Nuclear Emergency Response Programmes T.Steinkopff, A.Dalheimer, W.Dyck, B.Fay, H.Glaab, I.Jacobsen Deutscher Wetterdienst, Frankfurter Strasse 135, 63067 Offenbach, Germany SUMMARY The Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD), German Meteorological Service, is charged with the surveillance of radioactivity in the atmosphere as a part of the emergency information network of the „Integrated Measureme nt and Information System“(IMIS) in Germany. The results of measurements of radioactivity and the meteorolog ical products are transferred regularly to this network. The DWD is also integrated into the Environmental Emer geny Response Programme (EER) of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) as a communication hub. The computer infrastructure, the operational experience in data management as well as the national and internati onal communication systems in operation are significant arguments to run the early alert system on the surveillan ce of atmospheric radioactivity at the national meteorological service. INTRODUCTION In 1955 the Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD), German Meteorological Service, was integrated into the national nuclear emergency response programme concerning the surveillance of radioactivity in the atmosphere. Stimulated mainly by the experiences of the nuclear accident of Chernobyl the existing national response mecha nisms and international cooperation have been substantially revised. Especially, the Environmental Emergency R esponse (EER) programme of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has been developed to provide me teorological dispersion prognosis to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The integration of meteor ological services into this EER programme is an important object which includes the harmonisation of the differe nt specific national arrangements with the relevant international arrangements.
