The work in finite element method deals with two sets of vertical operators (nhvfe):

i) The first is given by the operators satisfying the C1-constraint:(G*-1)(S*-1)=(N*-1) present in the SI set of linear equations of the nh-model and which is needed in order to have a single prognostic equation in the vertical divergence "d" (known as the structure equation).

ii) The second set is given by the integral and derivative operators which should be invertible if the option LGWADV is on. The set of SI linear equations is written in terms of "d" but in the SL computations the variable used is the vertical velocity "w". Two transformations are needed in each time-step: integration in "d"=>"w" and derivation in "w"=>"d". The Invertibility is needed in order to avoid the production of noise.

The computations of the above operators in nhvfe are shown in https://arxiv.org/abs/1601.03446 and tested in a branch over HARMONIE cycle cy40h1. The greatest difficulty in building the nhvfe operators is the match of the knots needed for the basis functions, whose maxima should be located in the set of levels. Two basis are shown: B-splines (i) and xi (ii).

The default set of 65 levels is well adjusted, but the optimization algorithm of knots to match the maxima should be improved for a wider sets of vertical levels.

Daily run validation (00 & 12 UTC) at ECMWF Cray from

March 2016 and it is expected to become operational in

summer 2017 in the new AEMET HPC.

- AMVs from geostationary Meteosat-10 represent a good observation system for assimilation in HARMONIE over Southern Europe, especially at times other than 00 and 12 UTC, because of the frequent availability and short latency.

- The NWC/GEO software (produced by the EUMETSAT SAF on support to Nowcasting) allows to generate AMVs locally, and to customize choices re AMV derivation.

- Ongoing work at AEMET to assimilate Meteosat-10 AMVsdisseminated by EUMETSAT, and explore the assimilation of AMVsproduced locally with the NWC/GEO software.

Aemet runs HARMONIE/AROME v40h1.1 from the ALADIN-HIRLAM Shared System in the new HPC.

• These runs are Regular Cycle of Reference (RCR) for the HARMONIE System• 3-hr cycles including assimilation of GPS/GNSS and ATOVS data.• Improved monitoring and verification of the system

• Clear added value on near surface variables compared with models of larger scale (HIRLAM and ECMWF)• Clear improvement of fog forecast but with many false alarms. • Significant improvement of precipitation forecasts including spatial distribution and amount of precipitation but revealing uncertainty in the prediction of small scales. • These runs are Regular Cycle of Reference (RCR) for the HARMONIE System

• 3-hr cycles including assimilation of GPS/GNSS and ATOVS data.• Improved monitoring and verification of the system

Research on:• Radar data assimilation including correction for position errors (Field Alignment technique).• Assimilation of 'High Resolution' AMVs using NWC SAF software.• Dynamics: Vertical Finite Elements for the vertical discretization.• Configuration of a 2.5 km Ensemble System based on a multi-model approach
