Experimental setup

Overview

Two suites are used: a control (au-aa427) and a trial run without IASI observations (au-aa461). Both suites are based on APS2 ACCESS-G Rose suite, au-aa068 at ![1316].

Resolution: N512L70
PFM resolutions: N108/N216
Observation types used,

| obsgroup | platform | note | | --- | --- | --- | | | | | | screen | METAR (?), SYNOP | | | as | AMDAR's, AIREP's, TEMP, WIND, wind profilers | | | atovs | NOAA-15, NOAA-18, NOAA-19, MetOp-1, MetOp-2 | | | airs | Aqua | | | iasi | MetOp-1 and MetOp-2 | | | cris | Suomi-NPP | | | atms | Suomi-NPP | | | mtsatcsr | MTSAT-2 | | | amv | GOES-E, GOES-W, Aqua/MODIS, MTSAT-2, METEOSAT-7, METEOSAT-8, METEOSAT-9, METEOSAT-10 | ???? need to duble-check ????

Experiment period: 00Z 1 August 2015 until 18Z 31 October 2015
Spin-up period: 00Z 18 July 2015 until 18Z 31 July 2015
Forecast lengths: 12-hour steps up to 5 days (only 00Z-based forecasts are verified)
Analysis frequency: 00Z and 12Z
Fields to output: Vincent suggested T, q, u, v, Z, MSLP but from our runs instead of q relative humidity is written out
Levels: Vincent suggested 1000, 950, 900, 850, 800, 700, 600, 500, 400, 300, 250, 200, 150, 100, 70, 50, 30, 20, 10, 7, 5, 3, 2, 1 hPa but from our run 7, 5, 3, 2, 1 hPa are not available
Output in the Grib format on 0.5 deg x 0.5 deg grid
Aditional statistics:
1. SatRad NetCDF writefiles for o-b statistics turned on
2. o-a statistics from VAR not turned on

Note 1. ReconSST task fails because (I guess) somehow Cylc does not receive the completion of UM job. So I decided to use older Cylc and Rose versions under which this task worked. Following line was used to allow the use of old Cylc and Rose versions,

export CYLC_VERSION=6.4.1; export ROSE_VERSION=2015.04.1

NWP Configuration

Following summarises OPS control file versions used by UKMO (from collab wiki) and what I finally decided to use.

Stationlist

Time period	Version
20150717 18Z - 20150720 18Z	v396
20150721 00Z - 20150810 18Z	v397
20150811 00Z - 20150914 18Z	v398
20150915 00Z - 20151019 18Z	v400
20151020 00Z - 20151031 18Z	v401

Based on the the version used during the last time period - "ukmo/v401" - I modified it and came up with "users/au-aa427/aps2_r00.my00.v401". Some of the changes are,

ATOVS_stlist.nl - changed thinning distance in extra-tropics
IASI_stlist.nl - ditto
MTSATClear_stlist.nl - commented out some stationlist keywords ('DayStart' and 'DayEnd') which were not available in OPS30.0.0
Satwind_stlist.nl - commented out some stationlist keywords ('DayStart' and 'DayEnd') which were not available in OPS30.0.0

Screen stationlist

Time period	Version
20150717 18Z - 20150720 18Z	v126
20150721 00Z - 20150810 18Z	v127
20150811 00Z - 20150914 18Z	v128
20150915 00Z - 20151019 18Z	v129
20151020 00Z - 20151031 18Z	v130

Used the version which was used during the last time period - "ukmo/v130".

SatRad coeffs

Time period	Version
20150717 18Z - 20150820 18Z	v109
20150821 00Z - 20150823 18Z	v110
20150824 00Z - 20150921 18Z	v111
20150922 00Z - 20151004 18Z	v112
20151005 00Z - 20151020 18Z	v113
20151021 00Z - 20151031 18Z	v114

The version, "ukmo/v114" is what's used during the last period. Because I need to output SatRad NetCDF writefiles I put together "bom/users/au-aa427/aps2_r00_my00.v114" (based on "bom/users/au-aa094/aps2_r00_my00.v98").

RTTOV7 coeffs

Time period	Version
20150717 18Z - 20150820 18Z	v40
20150821 00Z - 20150823 18Z	v41
20150824 00Z - 20151031 18Z	v42

Used the version which was used during the last time period - "ukmo/v42"

MetDB Elements

Version	Note
v101	bom/common/aps2.![00] is derived from this
v102	Added MVIRIClear_ESACSR.elements, changes for GPSRO TPD
v103	Fix typo in ATMS elements file
v106	Corrected GPSRO elements for TPD

As the collab wiki page for MetDB elements files does not list dates I decided to use "bom/common/aps2.![00]" (this is based on "ukmo/v101")

N.B.

There is a typo in ATMS_ATMS.elements (compare ATMS_ATMS.elements in v101 and v103) - check ATMS is processed correctly by OPS
v103/GPSRO_GPSRO.elements was changed to include tangent point lat, lon and azimuth - check OPS processes GPSRO correctly

Scatwind coeffs

Time period	version used
20150717 18Z - 20150908 18Z	v24
20150909 00Z - present	v25

Used the version which was used during the last time period - "ukmo/v25"

Satwind coeffs

version used	note
20150717 18Z - 20151031 18Z	v19

Used the version which was used during the last time period - "ukmo/v19"

Sonde coeffs

Time period	version used
for a long time	v3

Used the version which was used for a long time - "ukmo/v3"

GPSRO coeffs

Time period	version used
latest version	v14

Used the lastest version - "ukmo/v14"

N.B.

Is this O.K.?

set_ops_stationlist.ksh

_ ToDo Use stationlist file from au-aa094 as a starting point. You may need to copy stationlist files from Jasmin mirror to ~access/da as the files may need modification _

set_ops_screen_stationlist.ksh

set_ops_control_files.ksh

set_ops_bias_files.ksh

rose-suite.conf

Change CONF_START and CONF_STOP

ODB and OPS versions

ODB_VERSION: a. odb30.0.2
OPS version: a. OPS30.0.0 b. https://access-svn.nci.org.au/trac/ops/browser/branches/dev/satda/ops30.0.0 c. No changes are introduced to OPS code so locally generated AMV's are processed in the same as JMA-produced AMV's

Preparing Bufr files

Bufr files copied: 20150718 00Z till 20151031 18Z

Archiving

Model analysis and forecast files (in Grib) are archived to "raijin1:/short/dp9/jtl548/opendap". These were moved to MDSS, jtl548/opendap. The directory structure of the archive follows that of APS2 global:
- control (with IASI) - jtl548/opendap/a427/yyyymmdd/hh00
- trial (without IASI) - jtl548/opendap/a461/yyyymmdd/hh00
SatRad writefiles are archived to "raijin1:/g/data/dp9/jtl548/glb"
deleted subdirectories, au-aa427 and au-aa461 under raijin3:/short/dp9/jtl548/data/mdss/glb

Luke-warm start

"luke-warm" start files come from the BNOC APS2 SCS trial suite, "saneg". The suite's archive location is,

ngamaidm04:/g/ns/lustre/users/bnoc/rto/access_g/saneg/2015_TEST
start dump (iau-start-dump) from 20150717 12Z
analysis increment (an_inc) from 20150717 18Z
soil moisture (an_smc) from 20150717 18Z
bgerr (bgerr.new) from 20150717 18Z
all the warm-running files are from pre-operational APS2 ACCESS-G, saneg.

Bias coefficient updates

RUN 1: Spin-up for bias correction

Start date: 20150717 18Z (luke-warm start; first full OPS, VAR and UM were for the cycle time of 20150718 00Z)
End date: 20150731 18Z

Note 1. Initial bias regression coefficients file came from au-aa094 and the file is quite old

Note 2. After the cycle, 20150731 18Z I attempted to update the bias coefficients. However, there was a problem with NOAA-15 as the script, "LaunchBiasCorrection.ksh" did not contain NOAA-15 in the list of the satellites for ATOVS. The script should be updated!

RUN 2: After first update of bias regresssion coefficients

Start date: 20150801 00Z
End date: 20150831 18Z

RUN 3: After second update of bias regresssion coefficients

Start date: 20150901 00Z
End date: 20150930 18Z

RUN 4: After third update of bias regresssion coefficients

Start date: 20151001 00Z
End date: 20151031 18Z
