Talk Abstract
Using OSCER for a Real-Time Ensemble Forecasting Experiment
... and other projects
During the spring of 2003, the NOAA Storm Prediction Center and the
National Severe Storms Laboratory evaluated different short-range
ensemble forecast (SREF) methodologies, in an effort to understand
the use of SREF output for forecasting severe convection. From
mid-April through early June, forecaster teams analyzed a 15-member
ensemble produced by NCEP, and an experimental 32-member MM5 ensemble,
produced through forecaster generated perturbations (via the MM5
adjoint) and computed using a supercomputer at the OU Supercomputing
Center for Education and Research (OSCER). The data generated by both
ensembles were evaluated using a myriad of statistical post-processing
techniques and graphical displays, and were used to generate an
experimental Day-2 severe weather outlook for the United States. This
talk will focus on the use of OSCER resources for this experiment, and
how the custom software designed by OSCER staff helped the experiment
run virtually flawlessly. Also, other a couple of other meteorological
