  • Roots of Ensemble Forecasting
    JULY 2005 L E W I S 1865 Roots of Ensemble Forecasting JOHN M. LEWIS National Severe Storms Laboratory, Norman, Oklahoma, and Desert Research Institute, Reno, Nevada (Manuscript received 19 August 2004, in final form 10 December 2004) ABSTRACT The generation of a probabilistic view of dynamical weather prediction is traced back to the early 1950s, to that point in time when deterministic short-range numerical weather prediction (NWP) achieved its earliest success. Eric Eady was the first meteorologist to voice concern over strict determinism—that is, a future determined by the initial state without account for uncertainties in that state. By the end of the decade, Philip Thompson and Edward Lorenz explored the predictability limits of deterministic forecasting and set the stage for an alternate view—a stochastic–dynamic view that was enunciated by Edward Epstein. The steps in both operational short-range NWP and extended-range forecasting that justified a coupling between probability and dynamical law are followed. A discussion of the bridge from theory to practice follows, and the study ends with a genealogy of ensemble forecasting as an outgrowth of traditions in the history of science. 1.

  • An Abstract of the Dissertation Of
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Kristine C. Harper for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History of Science presented on April 25, 2003. Title: Boundaries of Research: Civilian Leadership, Military Funding, and the International Network Surrounding the Development of Numerical Weather Prediction in the United States. Redacted for privacy Abstract approved: E. Doel American meteorology was synonymous with subjective weather forecasting in the early twentieth century. Controlled by the Weather Bureau and with no academic programs of its own, the few hundred extant meteorologists had no standing in the scientific community. Until the American Meteorological Society was founded in 1919, meteorologists had no professional society. The post-World War I rise of aeronautics spurred demands for increased meteorological education and training. The Navy arranged the first graduate program in meteorology in 1928 at MIT. It was followed by four additional programs in the interwar years. When the U.S. military found itself short of meteorological support for World War II, a massive training program created thousands of new mathematics- and physics-savvy meteorologists. Those remaining in the field after the war had three goals: to create a mathematics-based theory for meteorology, to create a method for objectively forecasting the weather, and to professionalize the field. Contemporaneously, mathematician John von Neumann was preparing to create a new electronic digital computer which could solve, via numerical analysis, the equations that defmed the atmosphere. Weather Bureau Chief Francis W. Reichelderfer encouraged von Neumann, with Office of Naval Research funding, to attack the weather forecasting problem. Assisting with the proposal was eminent Swedish-born meteorologist Carl-Gustav Rossby.

(His letter is reproduced in Appendix D to this transcript.) The publishers Harper and Row had asked him to write a biography, with financial support from the Sloan Foundation, but he felt that an oral interview would be "the best first approximation." I replied enthusiastically. A few weeks later I had second thoughts and wrote to Jule that on reflection, I had become sobered by the subtleties of the art of interviewing, and suggested we engage a professional for the "basics", which could then be supplemented by a more idiosyncratic sequel such as he and I could do. Jule was firm, however, in his preference for working with someone with whom he felt he could communicate easily as a colleague.

  • The ENIAC Integrations
    10 The ENIAC integrations The role of the enormous weather factory envisaged by Richardson (1922) with its thousands of computers will . be taken over by a com- pletely automatic electronic computing machine. (Charney, 1949) It is without question that Richardson’s attempt to predict the weather by numerical means, while visionary and courageous, was premature. In his review of WPNP, Exner (1923) expressed the view that Richardson’s method was unlikely to lead to progress in weather forecasting and even recommended that he should write a book on theoretical meteorology that was free from the aim of a direct application to prediction. This negative response was echoed by several other reviewers. Later, the renowned meteorologist Bernhard Haurwitz wrote in his textbook Dynamic Meteorology that efforts to compute weather changes by direct application of the equations was not promising, adding that . a computation of the future weather by dynamical methods will be possible only when it is known more definitely which factors have to be taken into account under given conditions and which may be neglected (Haurwitz, 1941, p. 180). Haurwitz understood that a simplification of the mathematical formulation of the forecasting problem was required but he was not in a position to propose any spe- cific solution. In fact, there were several obstacles preventing the fulfilment of Richardson’s dream, and progress was required on four separate fronts before it could be realized. Firstly, in order to develop a simplified system suitable for numerical predic- tion, a better understanding of atmospheric dynamics, and especially of the wave motions in the upper atmosphere, was required.

  • Providers of Atmospheric Reality to Numerical Weather Prediction Efforts
    Proceedings of the International Commission on History of Meteorology 1.1 (2004) 9. The Scandinavian Tag-Team: Providers of atmospheric reality to numerical weather prediction efforts in the United States (1948-1955) Kristine C. Harper History of Science Program Oregon State University Corvallis, Oregon, USA Introduction In late 1945, the distinguished mathematician John von Neumann needed a suitably difficult scientific problem amenable to a numerical solution to showcase the capabilities of his proposed computer. Although there were numerous candidates from the physical sciences1, von Neumann settled on the weather prediction problem. In their brief accounts of the development of numerical weather prediction, William Aspray’s John von Neumann and the Origins of Modern Computing and Frederik Nebeker’s Calculating the Weather: Meteorology in the 20th Century give von Neumann primary credit for starting and leading the Meteorology Project at the Institute for Advanced Study. Given significantly less credit are Carl-Gustav Rossby, Jule Charney, and a series of Scandinavian meteorologists who significantly influenced the entire project.2 I will argue that the Scandinavian “tag-team”, invited by Charney and supported by Rossby, was not only critical to its ultimate success, but that differences in the cultures of American and Scandinavian meteorology made the Scandinavians better suited to accomplish the work at hand than their American counterparts. That the Scandinavians possessed both practical forecasting skills as well as superb analysis and theoretical knowledge enabled the answering of this question: Is the computer predicted representation of the atmosphere a valid one? The Beginnings of the Meteorology Project Proc. ICHM 1.1 (2004) 85 John von Neumann’s quest to prove the worth of an electronic computing device needed a sufficiently complex problem to fully exploit its power and be practical enough to attract funding and public attention.
