  • 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.

INTRODUCTION partners. In the course of the project, they are refined when the respective sub-project work- The Deutsche Wetterdienst (DWD) together packages are initiated. with the German Military Geophysical Service (GMGO) started a new Meteorological Workstation project (NinJo) in 2000. 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).

Cicnc.], Vol. XV, Mini. 1, 1995 120 (/// 1101) 13 (ILILV'OFFI/F/)EC7:c'C/I//I)V Ill /2/ (IL VII The global model (GM) has been derived from a similar model of the Euro- pean Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF).

  • Public Weather Service Value for Money Review
    Public Weather Service Value for Money Review March 2015 Mike Gray Public Weather Service Customer Group Secretariat Page 1 of 25 Public Weather Service Value for Money Review Executive Summary Through analysing existing studies and literature on the economic value of weather forecasts, and using up to date figures, this review concludes with high confidence that the benefits of the Public Weather Service (PWS) to the UK are very likely to exceed £1bn per annum, and are likely to be close to £1.5bn per annum. This is consistent with the findings of the previous value for money study prepared for the PWS Customer Group (PWSCG) by PA from 2007 which assessed the economic benefits of the PWS at £614m per annum and, given its limited scope, considered the benefits to be many times that figure. Sectors considered in the review were the perceived value to the public (which had an estimated benefit of £480m per annum), value to aviation (£400m per annum), added value to other sectors of the economy (£400m per annum), storm damage avoidance (£80m per annum), value to land transport (£100m per annum) and flood damage avoidance (£64m per annum). Other benefits included the hosting of the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF) in the UK (£60m per annum) and business of over €200m for the UK space industry by being able to bid for EUMETSAT (the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites) contracts by virtue of UK membership paid for by the PWS. It is estimated that the PWS contributes to reducing deaths from high impact weather by many tens per year, and many more during individual severe events such as North Sea coastal flooding.
