APPENDIX-E: CEOP Data Management and Data Integration Working Group Breakout
Session (CEOP 3rd Implementation Planning Meeting, 10-12 March 2004, Irvine, CA, USA)
•
Implementation Issue for EOP-3
– WGISS needs to assist in coordinating provision of satellite data (Koike)
• NOAA/NESDIS - details and dates for delivery, Arnie Gruber, Dan
Tarpley, John Bates are POCs
–
Action - Need to schedule a telecon
• NASA - Same issue for MODIS, AIRS
– Action - Prof. Koike to list priorities
• ESA - Same issue for MERIS, ASAR - Jurgen Fischer is also POC
• Implementation plans to be in place by Sept. GHP meeting with initial
data flows from NOAA
• SDIC data support by SSG in January
• JAXA (Burford) prototype by GHP
• List of satellite data and product will be posted on CEOP web site
• EUMETSAT data also need to be listed
• Data policy question - registration should be sufficient
• Metadata content standard - Prof. Koike’s group defining with JAXA input
- to be completed by WGISS meeting in May
– Modeling data - nor representative present - will use notes from general session
– Station data • JOSS continuing to prepare data
• Issue - some stations being discontinued - need to pass to SSC - CSE
responsibility but CEOP endorsement might help.
•
Data Collection for EOP -2 and 4
– Considered a science issue
•
Data Policy Issue with Regard to New Datasets (e.g. BSRN)
– JOSS acquiring BSRN and planning on adding it to station data
• Distribution policy is same, but issue might be that BSRN loses credit
– Current satellite data for EOP-1 will follow station data policy (for subsets) but
without time delay
– Need to verify that data policy is approved by all satellite data providers
– Model data free and open with registration
– RECOMMENDATION - Broaden station data policy on CEOP website to cover
satellite and modeling
•
Data Quality Assurance/Control
– Quality control for in situ data continuing
– Satellite data quality will be submitted via metadata attributes
• Questions/issues with CEOP satellite data should be worked through the
SDIC(s).
• CEOS WG Cal/Val possible contributor
• WGISS can ork to get quality attributes into metadata model
Possible Additional Satellite Validation Sites
– Science Cal/Val issue - Ask CEOS WGCV for help?
•
•
CEOP Data Integration of Satellite Data, Model Output and In-situ Products
– Paper represents high-level concept - implementation plans will contain details
– Needs continuing review
•
Data Availability, Data Archive/Flow
– Data availability highest priority
– Ask WGISS Network Task Team to analyze data flow.

The Modeling Strategy
MODELING SYSTEM:
Based on the new mesoscale version of the Global Enrvironmental Multiscale (GEM) model that is
currently being developed at MSC for medium-range weather forecasts
• 800x600x58L (~33 km at 50 o lat);
• 4-schemes for the representation of clouds
• Kain-Fritsch for deep convection
• Kuo Transient for shallow convection
• Sundqvist for grid-scale condensation
• Simple scheme for PBL clouds
• 4 types of surface schemes (including ISBA over land +
other schemes over water, sea-ice, and glaciers)
PERIOD of INTEGRATION:
SPIN-UP

=============================================================
Status of CPTEC model output development: Sin Chan Chou
=============================================================
• Post-processed gridded data from CPTEC GCM for EOP1,
• Extracted MOLTS for the 41 requested reference sites of EOP1,
• Downloaded LBA reference sites for validation,
• Preliminary validation exercises,
• MPI account,
• Archiving formats: Gridded data are in GRIB and MOLTS in simple binary
format. Both are directly read from Grads.
• Still to learn the transferring procedures.
CPTEC/COLA Global Model
Origin:
• NMC (USA National Meteorological Center, 1988) - NCEP
• COLA (Center for Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Studies)
• Rhomboidal Version 1.7 Fortran 77 from COLA
Current Version:
• Triangular 2.0 CPTEC/COLA (COLA Version 1.12 + CPTEC)
• Fortran 90 Syntax, Optimizations for NEC-SX machines: Vectorization and
OpenMP Parallelism
• User defined Horizontal and Vertical Resolutions
• Sigma at Vertical and Spherical at Horizontal Coordinates
• Full Quadratic Gaussian Grid
• Resolutions: T062L28 for seasonal forecasts and T126L28 for weather
forecasts
Initialization:
• Diabatic Non-Linear Normal Mode
Some preliminary conclusions:
CPTEC GCM
• Model produces too frequent rains,
• •In the absence of precipitation, model produces excess of SH and deficit of LH.
Surface temperatures show high correlation with observations but are
overestimated. Model has larger amplitude.
• correct NetR,
• Model produced less frequent rain event over Pantanal,
• Both Pantanal and Rondonia show similar error behavior.
Eta
• Captures better the precipitation events in Rondonia,
• Excess of SH, better fit of LH and netR
• Winds show better agreement than the global model.
Tasks
• Identify the sources of the large model errors
• Include rainy periods
• Extend the study to other reference sites
• Experimental runs to reduce the errors
• Transfer CPTEC model output
• Download more reference sites
Developments to improve the models
• Convection scheme
• Radiation scheme
• More realistic soil humidity
• New vegetation map
• Variability of co2 and ozone

Coordinated Enhanced Observing Period/Global Water and Energy
Cycle Experiment Workshop: The Role of the Himalayas and the
Tibetan Plateau within the Asian Monsoon System

…..
…..
It was recommended that monsoon analysis, understanding and predictability be improved by
merging different points of view and approaches and by following the CEOP "downscaling"
strategy. This will involve integration of remote sensing observations by satellites, surface/upper
air observations at reference sites, and numerical models analysis and simulations (from global to
regional circulation models). Monsoons involve the interactions among many components of the
climate system and, therefore, fundamental physical processes in the models have to be well
parameterized. Many of the discussions highlighted key different physical processes and
parameters to be further analysed/investigated, including land surface processes, atmospheric
boundary layer processes, atmospheric heating, precipitation, and ocean data.
Land-Surface Processes
Land surface conditions (e.g., surface roughness, snow cover, soil moisture) modify the thermal
contrast between land and ocean. Land-atmosphere physical processes are linked by means of
complex feedback mechanisms involving heat fluxes, precipitation, and convection. Numerical
model sensitivity experiments with different parameterizations will help us understand these
interactions. Attention has also to be paid on how well vegetation and soil are described in
models (heterogeneity), in terms, for example, of vegetation cover (and its monthly variation) and
soil characterization. Regarding the Himalayas/Tibetan Plateau regions, land-surface models are
to be particularly tested against observations, to check the ability to reproduce characteristic
features (e.g., permafrost) affecting ground heat flux and soil moisture.
Atmospheric Boundary Layer
High altitude climate is strongly characterised by the diurnal cycle of many parameters. Some
issues which are of greatest interest are the measurement and simulation of fluxes within the
ABL; their monthly variation in relation to the onset, maintenance, and withdrawal of the
monsoon; and their characteristics within the diurnal cycle (e.g., time of maximum). Moreover, the
importance of mountain/valley circulation over these regions and how the monsoon circulation at
large-scale interacts with this kind of circulation regime, was demonstrated.
Atmospheric Heating
In the monsoons, the land-sea thermal contrast modifies circulation of the overlying atmosphere
and precipitation develops. It is therefore important to evaluate how large-scale atmospheric heat
and moisture budgets, as given by the well-known residuals Q1, the apparent heat source, and
Q2, the apparent moisture sink, vary over space and time. This is especially useful in the study of
the onset phase of the monsoon and its intraseasonal variability and in the analysis of the relative
importance of sensible and condensation heating.
Precipitation
The analysis of temporal and spatial scales of precipitation and its characteristics is crucial for the
determination of the water cycle and the evaluation of water reservoirs and the regional
hydrologic cycle. Specific issues to be addressed are: the documentation and simulation of the
diurnal cycle of precipitation and its characteristics (stratiform/convective) in relation to variation
of air stability and wind flow; the understanding of orographic effects on precipitation pattern; the
analysis of synoptic-mesoscale interaction through, for example, large-scale moisture transport
and convergence and intraseasonal oscillations of the Asian monsoon system; the analysis of the
structure of convection; and the study of the seasonal march and shift of precipitating areas
(East-West, South-North, bottom-top).
Ocean Areas
In view of the importance of the land-sea thermal contrast in driving the monsoon, there is a need
for an improvement of ocean data. These will include surface data (e.g., sea surface temperature,
sensible, latent, water vapor and momentum fluxes, net radiation) as well as upper ocean (mixing
layer) data (e.g., vertical thermal structure and heat flux).
MONSOON ISSUES
In relation to general discussions of the monsoon, some recommendations were made
concerning both large-scale analyses and local-scale process studies. Within the annual cycle of
the monsoon, it was suggested to focus especially on the onset phase (role of surface processes
and of sea surface temperature anomalies) and on active/break cycles (and their relation, for
example, to land-surface heat and moist processes, their intraseasonal oscillations and, in
general, to the interactions among land, atmosphere and ocean processes).
Winter plays a very important role in the development of the Asian monsoon system, through the
effect of anomalous snow cover and/or soil moisture. As a result, there was agreement to also
study the relations between winter and summer monsoon circulation.
On the interannual scale, it is important to document how the variations in monsoon circulation
are directly related to the local hydro-climate (including glacier lake outburst floods) and to the
availability of water reservoirs. The main questions in these cases being: What are large-scale
and long term factors that control these and to what degree can the related water fluxes can be
simulated and predicted?
Moreover, monsoon systems have to be compared in view of a global monsoon climate system,
in a search for not only differences and similarities but also interconnections. This will be directly
translated into the CIMS "telescoping" approach, which coordinates model integrations from
general circulation models of the atmosphere, through regional climate models to cloud resolving
models.
COOPERATION WITH OTHER PROGRAMS
It will be necessary to coordinate CIMS activities, which originally evolved in the Monsoon
Systems Working Group, directly with the work planned under the CEOP Water and Energy
Simulation and Prediction (WESP) Working Group. This is necessary because WESP addresses
the CEOP aim to enhance observations to better document and simulate water and energy fluxes
and reservoirs over land on diurnal to annual temporal scales and to better predict these up to
seasonal scales. WESP will result in a better understanding of model physical processes, of the
difficulties in depicting diurnal and seasonal cycles and in requirements for their improvements. In
this context, joint work of CIMS and WESP is strongly recommended.
CIMS should be considered as a pilot research effort whose aims are addressed to the broader
WCRP community. Therefore, the work should be carried out in connection with GEWEX and the
Climate Variability and Predictability Programme (CLIVAR) and within the framework of existing
monsoon panels, initiatives, and field programs.
One particular area of scientific and programmatic synergy is the Asian Brown Cloud (ABC),
which has been studied by scientists during the Indian Ocean Experiment (INDOEX) (e.g., UNEP
and C4, 2002). This brown haze occurs from January to March over the South Asian region and
the tropical Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea, and Bay of Bengal and has led to a considerable
scientific interest as well as concern. Of immediate importance is the relationship between the
ABC and the Asian Monsoon. For instance, how can the haze’s radiative forcing influence
regional and global monsoon climate, altering, for example, the hydrological cycle (with profound
consequences on agriculture, water availability, etc.)? There is also the question of the impacts of
the ABC on model simulations of the Asian Monsoon (radiation parameterizations, etc.).
