titleMulti-model ensemble predictions on seasonal timescale

Image Removed

This lecture looks at calibration and multi-model ensembles from a seasonal forecasting perspective. The theoretical basis is given, followed by research results that strongly motivated a multi-model approach for these timescales. The operational EUROSIP multi-model system is described. This Webinar was delivered by Dr. Tim Stockdale and recorded in May 2014. Click here to download the recording.

titleExtra-tropical cyclones and their tracking

Image Removed

This Webinar was delivered by Mr. Tim Hewson and recorded in February 2014. The process by which extra tropical cyclones are identified and tracked in the ECMWF IFS analyses and forecasts will be described, and this will be followed by an overview of the multi-faceted web products that relate, and how to use them. Reference will also be made to objective fronts.

titleCoud and precipitation: from model to forecasting

Image Removed

This Webinar was delivered by Dr. Richard Forbes and recorded in February 2014. This seminar will describe how cloud and precipitation is represented in the ECMWF global model with examples of model evaluation against different types of observations and strengths and weaknesses highlighted. The cloud related forecast products are discussed with some insights into interpretation in different meteorological situations. By the end of this seminar you should be able to: 1. Describe how cloud and precipitation is represented in the ECMWF global model 2. Recognise some of the strengths and weaknesses of the forecast cloud/precipitation. 3. Interpret cloud and precipitation related forecast products.

titleUnderstanding the model climate

Image Removed

This Webinar was delivered by Dr. Linus Magnuson and recorded in February 2014. The aim the lecture is to give a motivation for why ECMWF produces a data set for the model climate, explain the configuration of it and discuss some of the strengths and weaknesses (limitations). In the lecture we will also explain the cumulative distribution function of the model climatology, as a background for the extreme forecast index (EFI).

titleModel errors and diagnostic tools

Image Removed

This webinar was delivered by Dr. Mark Rodwell and recorded in February 2014. Diagnostics at ECMWF is about looking for weaknesses in the forecasting system, trying to identify their causes, working with developers, and documenting the resulting changes in performance. As observation volumes increase, and models get more complex, accurate and represent smaller-scale weather features, and as the need for uncertainty information grows, diagnostic tools need to be ever more powerful and precise. Here, with the help of a few case studies, I will discuss the development of these tools, and how they are helping us identify residual deficiencies.

titleForecasting extreme events

 Image Removed

This webinar was delivered by Mr. Ivan Tsonevsky and recorded in February 2014. The Extreme Forecast Index (EFI) has been developed at ECMWF to alert forecasters to anomalous or extreme weather events by comparing the Ensemble Forecasts (ENS) with the model climate as a reference. The Shift Of Tails (SOT) was implemented in 2012 to complement the EFI by providing additional information about the extremity of a given weather event. This talk will give an overview of the use and interpretation of the EFI and SOT for forecasting extreme weather. It will provide information about some limitations of the EFI products and the future plans in the severe weather forecasting at ECMWF. A lot of practical examples will be used throughout the talk to explain and clarify different aspects of the EFI products in forecasting hazardous and anomalous weather events.
