Task 1: General issues in the convective scale and evaluation of COSMO-DE-EPS
Purpose: Guides decision how resources will be spent on/ split betw. LETKF and SIR
(COSMO-NWS and universities); part of the learning process
main disadvantage of LETKF: assumes Gaussian error distributions
Task 1.1.A: investigate non-Gaussianity by means of O – B statistics (convective / larger scales, different forecast lead times): provides an upper limit estimate of the non-Gaussianity to deal with
talk by Daniel Leuenberger:Statistics of COSMO observation increments in view of data assimilation
Task 1.2: investigate non-Gaussianity by examining perturbations of very-short range(2009) forecasts from COSMO-DE-EPS
Task 1.1.C: assess influence of non-Gaussianity by examining balance (spin-up) of(2009) linear combinations of COSMO-DE-EPS forecast members
Task 1.4: Review on Hunt et al. implementation of LETKF(2009, by M. Tsyrulnikov)

LOCAL Ensemble Transform Kalman Filter (LETKF)
Task 1.1 D: assess importance of km-scale details versus larger-scale conditions in the IC
(do we have to analyse the small scales, or is it sufficient to analyse the large scales, as e.g incremental 4DVAR (ECMWF) would do ?)
Comparison: ‘IEU’: IC from interpolated COSMO-EU analysis of ass cycle (no LHN, nudging on coarse scales, same correlations scales in nudging)
‘IDE’: IC from (opr.) COSMO-DE analysis of ass cycle
(COSMO and LHN versions as operational at experiment time (old grid pt. search, old ref. precip))

Task 1.1.D: assess importance of km-scale details
Results of comparison ‘IEU’ – ‘IDE’:
─ ‘IDE’ better (ETS with similar bias) than ‘IEU’ for 12- and 18-UTC runs, similar for 0- and 6-UTC runs.
─ ‘IDE’ clearly better in some cases
Want to: rule out influence of different soil moisture compare ‘IEU’ with:
─ COSMO-DE ass with LHN, soil moisture from C-EU
─ COSMO-DE ass without LHN, soil moisture from C-EU
RadarWith LHN Without LHN (dashed: determininistic)
Past experiments (Leuenberger):environment affects impact of fine-scaledetails in analysis from LHN

with LHNwithout LHN
many experiments: – different initial conditions (IDE, IEU, no LHN, no RS-q,…)– different lateral boundary cond. (opr (delayed), actual, analysis)
largest impact on daily cycle of precip. from variation of initial time of forecast !
OBS
9-UTC runs
– the closer the initial time is to 9 UTC, the less (increase of) convection in afternoon– not significantly affected by LHN, little affected by RS-humidity
model climate differs from ‘climate’ introduced by observations (nudging)
experiments: – without ass of upper-air T, (q)– without ass of ps (incl. T-correction)

Task 2: Technical implementation of an ensemble data assimilation framework / LETKF
LETKF
COSMO
read obs (NetCDF) + Grib analysis of ensemble member
compute obs–fg (obs. increm.) + QC (contains obs operator)
write NetCDF feedback files (obs + obs–fg + QC flags) + Grib files (model)ensemble
analysis step (LETKF) outside COSMO code ensemble of independent COSMO runs up to next analysis time separate analysis step code, LETKF included in 3DVAR code of DWD
read ensemble of NetCDF feedback files + ensemble of COSMO S-R forecast Grib files
perform LETKF (based on obs–fg values around each grid pt.,calculate transformation matrices and analysis (mean & pert.)(adapt: C-grid, specific var (w) (,efficiency))
write ensemble of COSMO S-R analysis Grib files + NetCDF feedback files with additional QC flags ( verif.)

Task 2: Technical implementation of an ensemble data assimilation framework / LETKF
‘stat’-module: compute model (forecast) – obs for verification :
want to have capability of computing distance of model (ensemble member) to observationsthat have not been used previously in a COSMO run ( SIRF) need to include obs operators + QC in ‘stat’-module 2 options:
1. adapt separate program ‘lmstat’ (by NetCDF feedback / obs interface, QC)
2. adapt verification mode of 3DVar/LETKF package( include full COSMO observation operators with QC,
translate COSMO data structure into 3DVAR data structure and vice versa,extend flow control (e.g. reading several Grib files and temporal interpolation)
Advantages:
– COSMO obs operators available in 3DVAR/LETKF environment 3DVar/ EnKF approaches requiring 3DVar in principle applicable to COSMO LETKF for ICON will require COSMO obs operators in the future
– 1 common code for GME/ICON and COSMO to produce input for diagnostics / verif..
Disadvantages:
– more complex code for this diagnostic task
– possibly additional transformation from COSMO data structure into 3DVAR datastructure and vice versa required for new COSMO obs operators.

Task 3: Evaluate and optimise LETKF (needs to be detailed further)(after 2009)
Issues: Model perturbations, covariance inflation, localisation (multi-scale DA ?), convection initiation (warm bubbles, LHN), etc.

• implement optimal stepping to a new driving mesoscale ensemble
