Summary The National Hurricane Center and Joint Typhoon Warning Center operational tropical cyclone intensity forecasts for the three
major northern hemisphere tropical cyclone basins (Atlantic, eastern North Pacific, and western North Pacific) for the past
two decades are examined for long-term trends. Results show that there has been some marginal improvement in the mean absolute
error at 24 and 48 h for the Atlantic and at 72 h for the east and west Pacific. A new metric that measures the percent variance
of the observed intensity changes that is reduced by the forecast (variance reduction, VR) is defined to help account for
inter-annual variability in forecast difficulty. Results show that there have been significant improvements in the VR of the
official forecasts in the Atlantic, and some marginal improvement in the other two basins. The VR of the intensity guidance
models was also examined. The improvement in the VR is due to the implementation of advanced statistical intensity prediction
models and the operational version of the GFDL hurricane model in the mid-1990s. The skill of the operational intensity forecasts
for the 5-year period ending in 2005 was determined by comparing the errors to those from simple statistical models with input
from climatology and persistence. The intensity forecasts had significant skill out to 96 h in the Atlantic and out to 72 h
in the east and west Pacific. The intensity forecasts are also compared to the operational track forecasts. The skill was
comparable at 12 h, but the track forecasts were 2 to 5 times more skillful by 72 h. The track and intensity forecast error
trends for the two-decade period were also compared. Results showed that the percentage track forecast improvement was almost
an order of magnitude larger than that for intensity, indicating that intensity forecasting still has much room for improvement. 相似文献

应用国家气象中心全球谱模式T213L31(简称T213) 及其升级版本T639L60(简称T639) 对2009—2010年西北太平洋热带气旋数值预报的结果进行对比。结果表明:T213与T639模式24～120 h预报平均距离误差基本相近,但由于T639模式分辨率较高,T639模式的热带气旋强度预报明显好于T213模式。从分类误差来看,T639模式对于西北行登陆及转向热带气旋的路径预报好于T213模式,但对西行及北上热带气旋预报误差偏大。对于异常路径热带气旋预报,T639模式能较好预报环流形势的突然调整,对路径突变的热带气旋预报比T213模式有明显优势;从登陆类热带气旋预报的移向误差来看,T213模式存在东北偏北向系统性偏差,T639模式存在东北偏东向系统性偏差。 相似文献

Summary Errors produced by a nonlinear predictive scheme contain information about both the observations and the prediction system.
Therefore, its error history would be expected to contribute to increasing the skill of the predictions if it is included
in the forecast. In this study an error recycling procedure is developed for tropical cyclone track prediction. Errors are
defined here as differences between the model forecast and the best track position. Error histories are incorporated into
a nonlinear analogue, or simplex, forecast scheme and applied to tropical cyclone track prediction, using the archives of
observed position data associated with the forecast errors. Various forecast experiments of the cyclone tracks are performed:
standard simplex predictions using observed positions only; simplex predictions improved by error forecasts based on libraries
of both observations and the recycled forecast errors; and, finally, predictions that include NWP-model forecasts and their
errors as predictors. The resulting gains in skill of predictions out to 72 hours ahead are found to be substantial.

Summary. ?Cyclone track predictions in the Indian seas (Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea) with a quasi-Lagrangian model (QLM) have been
attempted. QLM has a horizontal resolution of 40 km and 16 sigma levels in the vertical. It is integrated in a domain of about
4400 × 4400 km2. A new initialization procedure to provide initial fields for running the model has been designed. The initialization procedure
consists of updating the global model forecasts, used as first guess, provided by the National Center for Medium Range Weather
Forecasting (NCMRWF), New Delhi. A new version of IMD’s operational optimum interpolation scheme has been created to suit
the QLM grid structure. Lateral boundary conditions are computed from the extended forecasts of NCMRWF. The track forecasts
in each case show a reasonable skill of the forecast model in predicting the direction of movement within acceptable limits
of forecast errors, which are comparable to some of the best models operated by advanced NWP centers of the world. Even the
recurving storms are well predicted. Evolution of the vertical motion fields are also studied which reveal some interesting
features, which are described in detail in the text. The composited vertical motion fields are projected against observed
rainfall distribution, which show a good spatial correspondence.

Summary A shallow water single level primitive equation model is ideally suited for studying the motion of a tropical cyclone. Three factors seem to be important in the initialization, i.e. the size, intensity and the initial speed and direction of motion of the storm. This study presents the results of sensitivity studies on the above parameters in the definition of a synthetic idealized vortex. The sensitivity studies include results of experimental forecasts for typhoons Betty of 1987 and Dan of 1989. The results of these studies show that the initial size, intensity and direction and speed of motion show considerable sensitivity to the predicted track. Finally a summary of the track forecast errors through 72 hours are presented for these storms.With 8 Figures 相似文献

In the present study, a new approach is discussed to find out the residual steering flow from the high-resolution global Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) model-forecasted wind fields, which have been used in the Lagrangian advection model to determine the track of tropical cyclones formed in the Indian Ocean. The Lagrangian advection model is newly developed model and conceptually closer to the dynamical models, which utilizes environmental steering flow and the effect due to earth’s rotation (the beta-effect) to determine the motion of cyclone. In this approach, the effect of environmental flow on the cyclone track is examined by removing the existing cyclone vortex from the steering flow which is determined by potential vorticity approach. A new approach based on vortex pattern matching has been used to identify the cyclone vortex and to remove it from the steering flow. The tracks of five tropical cyclones (viz., Nargis, Khai_Muk, Nisha, Aila and Phyan) which were formed in the North Indian basin during the period 2008–2009 have been generated by the Lagrangian advection model using the proposed scheme. The position errors were computed with respect to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) best track analysis positions and compared with that of without-vortex-removal scheme. The results show that the mean track errors for five cyclones are reduced by 6–35?% for 12–72?h forecast in case of vortex-removal scheme as compared to the without-vortex-removal scheme. 相似文献

为了进一步提高国家气象中心区域模式台风数值预报系统（GRAPES_TYM）的预报能力,2016年对模式参考大气廓线以及涡旋初始化方案进行了改进:由模式初始场水平方向平均的一维参考大气代替原来的等温大气,涡旋初始化方案取消了原涡旋重定位并将涡旋强度调整半径由原来的12°减小到4°。对2014—2016年的生命史超过3 d的所有台风进行了回算,路径及近地面最大风速统计误差分析表明:参考大气的改进可以减小模式对台风预报路径预报的系统北偏和平均路径误差,尤其是140°E以东的转向台风。涡旋初始化方案中强度调整半径的减小会进一步减小模式预报路径的北偏趋势,从而进一步减小平均误差。同业务系统预报结果相比,改进后的GRAPES_TYM（包括参考大气和涡旋初始化）可以使平均路径误差分别减小10%（24 h）,12%（48 h）,16%（72 h）,14%（96 h）以及15%（120 h）。同美国NCEP全球模式路径预报相比,GRAPES_TYM在西行、西北行登陆我国的台风路径预报有一定优势。 相似文献

Based on the tropical cyclone data from the Central Meteorological Observatory of China, Japan Meteorological Agency, Joint Typhoon Warning Center and European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts （ECMWF） during the period of 2004 to 2009, three consensus methods are used in tropical cyclone （TC） track forecasts. Operational consensus results show that the objective forecasts of ECMWF help to improve consensus skill by 2%, 3%-5% and 3%-5%, decrease track bias by 2.5 kin, 6-9 km and 10-12 km for the 24 h, 48 h and 72 h forecasts respectively over the years of 2007 to 2009. Analysis also indicates that consensus forecasts hold positive skills relative to each member. The multivariate regression composite is a method that shows relatively low skill, while the methods of arithmetic averaging and composite （in which the weighting coefficient is the reciprocal square of mean error of members） have almost comparable skills among members. Consensus forecast for a lead time of 96 h has negative skill relative to the ECMWF objective forecast. 相似文献

Summary
Random perturbations (RPs) and a modified version for breeding of growing modes are used with a regional baroclinic mesoscale
model to perform ensemble forecasting of tropical cyclone motion. Based on a sample of six cases, similar conclusions are
found as in previous barotropic modeling studies. Even after introducing a larger spatial correlation into the RPs using a
multi-quadric analysis scheme, the skill of this ensemble mean track prediction is almost always lower than that of the control
forecast in the cases considered. The track prediction performance of the ensemble using regional bred modes (RBMs) as perturbations
has a higher average skill. At nearly all forecast intervals except less than 24 h when the initial position error still dominates,
the ensemble mean tracks in all six cases are improved over the control forecast. In the 6 h–24 h range, the success rate
(ratio of the cases with a forecast improvement to the total number of cases) has a value of 10/24. In the 30 h–48 h range,
the success rate increases to 20/24, but drops to 18/24 in the 54 h–72 h range. A relative skill score (RSS) is used to compare
the skills of the two perturbation methodologies. It is found that the average RSSs of using RBMs are significantly higher
than the corresponding ones of RPs at the 99% confidence level in all three 24-h periods. Note that the above conclusion is
only based on ensemble mean forecasts. All of the possibilities from an ensemble-based probabilistic track distribution are
not explored in this paper. The ensemble spreads in these RBM ensembles are large enough to include the verifying tracks in
all the cases considered. It is also found that the ensemble spread is well correlated with the average error in an ensemble
when using RBMs, but not with the ensemble mean forecast error in both methodologies.

2010年西北太平洋台风预报精度评定及分析 总被引：5，自引：2，他引：3
按照《台风业务和服务规定》的相关要求,本文对2010年中央气象台编号的14个台风（即1001～1014号西北太平洋热带气旋,以下统称为台风）的业务定位和业务预报精度进行了评定。评定结果表明：国内各家综合预报24h,48h和72h平均距离误差分别为110.0 km（1392次）、210.6 km（945次）和322.4 km（364次）,比2009年相应预报时效有一定减小。国内外各家数值模式同样本比较显示：欧洲中心数值模式（ECMWF）在不同时效路径预报中均表现最好,日本数值模式（JAPN）表现其次。相对于国内各家数值模式,上述两家国外模式的路径预报表现出一定优势。进一步分析发现我国各数值模式与ECMWF模式更大的路径预报水平差距是由于台风移动方向预报差距,而台风移动速度预报相对较好;而日本数值与ECMWF模式的差距更主要的体现在移动速度方面。我国各家模式与ECMWF数值模式初始时效（12 h和24 h）的预报差距比后续预报时效（36 h和48 h）大。随着预报时效延长,国内数值模式与ECMWF模式的预报差距逐步减小。 相似文献

构建了一个基于集合Kalman滤波数据同化的热带气旋集合预报系统，通过积云参数化方案和边界层参数化方案的9个不同组合，采用MM5模式进行了不同时间的短时预报。对预报结果使用“镜像法”得到18个初始成员，为同化提供初始背景集合。将人造台风作为观测场，同化后的结果作为集合预报的初值，通过不同参数组合的MM5模式进行集合预报。对2003～2004年16个台风个例的分析表明，初始成员产生方法能够对热带气旋的要素场、中心强度和位置进行合理扰动。同化结果使台风强度得到加强，结构更接近实际。基于同化的集合路径预报结果要优于未同化的集合预报。使用“镜像法”增加集合成员提高了预报准确度，路径预报误差在48小时和72小时分别低于200 km和250 km。 相似文献

Adaptive observations for hurricane prediction 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
Summary This study proposes a method that can be used to provide guidelines to aircraft reconnaissance for hurricane observations.
The method combines numerical weather prediction (NWP) model with a statistical approach to target adaptive observations over
areas where the hurricane predictions are very sensitive to the initial analysis for the NWP-model. A single model experiment
is performed using regular initial analysis, while 50 other ensemble runs are performed from randomly perturbed initial states.
Under the perfect model assumption, the single model experiment serves as a true state. The method first computes the forecast
error variances at a certain verification time, e.g. hour 48, and then locates the maximum centers of variances. After the
locations of the maximum forecast error variances are known, various correlations of different variables between these maximum
variance points and the perturbation fields at the target time, e.g. hour 12, are calculated to identify those locations at
the target time, over where the observational errors might be responsible for the growth of forecast error variances at the
verification time. Statistically, these correlation fields indicate where the most sensitive areas are at the target time,
i.e. where the need for additional observations is suggested.
Hurricane Fran of 1996 is used to test the proposed method. The reason for choosing this case is that, during the first 48 hour
forecast, the track forecast from NWP-model was very close to the best track. Two additional experiments were designed to
examine the method. One experiment updates predicted variables at the target time (12 h) over the areas, to where the proposed
method indicates the forecast would be sensitive. The updating combines observations (or truth) with the first guess (predicted)
fields. Another experiment also modifies predicted variables at the target time (12 h), but over the areas where the method
indicates the forecast errors are less correlated to. The results show that the modification has greatly reduced the forecast
error variances at the verification time (48 h) in the first experiment, however it has a very little impact on the variance
fields at the forecast hour (48 h) in the second experiment. It is very clear from our experiments, that the proposed method
is able to identify sensitive areas, where additional observations can help to reduce hurricane forecast errors from an NWP-model.

Tropical cyclone (TC) genesis forecasting is essential for daily operational practices during the typhoon season.The updated version of the Tropical Regional Atmosphere Model for the South China Sea (CMA-TRAMS) offersforecasters reliable numerical weather prediction (NWP) products with improved configurations and fine resolution. Whiletraditional evaluation of typhoon forecasts has focused on track and intensity, the increasing accuracy of TC genesisforecasts calls for more comprehensive evaluation methods to assess the reliability of these predictions. This study aims toevaluate the effectiveness of the CMA-TRAMS for cyclogenesis forecasts over the western North Pacific and South ChinaSea. Based on previous research and typhoon observation data over five years, a set of localized, objective criteria has beenproposed. The analysis results indicate that the CMA-TRAMS demonstrated superiority in cyclogenesis forecasts, pre dicting 6 out of 22 TCs with a forecast lead time of up to 144 h. Additionally, over 80% of the total could be predicted 72 hin advance. The model also showed an average TC genesis position error of 218.3 km, comparable to the track errors ofoperational models according to the annual evaluation. The study also briefly investigated the forecast of Noul (2011). Theforecast field of the CMA-TRAMS depicted thermal and dynamical conditions that could trigger typhoon genesis, con sistent with the analysis field. The 96-hour forecast field of the CMA-TRAMS displayed a relatively organized three dimensional structure of the typhoon. These results can enhance understanding of the mechanism behind typhoon genesis,fine-tune model configurations and dynamical frameworks, and provide reliable forecasts for forecasters. 相似文献

Summary The first part of the paper comprises of a control experiment and its forecasts validations with the observed. The PSU-NCAR
mesoscale model MM5 was utilized at a horizontal resolution of 4 km using the data sets for hurricane Charley of 2004. The
model configures some of the best available versions for physics and microphysical parameterizations schemes to produce forecasts
which are close to the observed trend of hurricane Charley. The basic validations of the control run were carried out in terms
of track, intensity (sea-level pressure and surface wind speed), storm propagation speed, precipitation and radar reflectivity
with that of observed. The validations were necessary because this control experiment will be considered as a benchmark forecast
for comparison with other microphysics sensitive experiments forecasts in the second part of this paper. In general, the control
run forecasts closely comply with that of observed track and intensity of the hurricane Charley. We also note that control
run manage to reproduce much of the important structural characteristics features of the hurricane as observed. 相似文献

本文主要分析了2005-2010年西北太平洋上台风突变路径的预报误差及其相联系的环流形势.通过分析北折和西折两种突变路径发现,中央气象台对西折突变路径的24和48 h预报接近平均预报水平;北折突变路径突变时刻,24 h预报的距离误差达到145.6 km,比平均预报误差增加了29.3％,48 h预报的距离误差达317.3 km,比平均预报误差增加了68.3％.从突变路径的物理机制方面分析突变路径预报的难点.将台风附近气流分解成低频和高频两部分,合成分析发现两类突变路径的风场区别不仅表现在低频尺度上副热带高压的西伸程度,还表现在天气尺度上台风附近的风场分布. 相似文献

Large-scale atmospheric information plays an important role in the regional model for the forecasts of weather such as tropical cyclone (TC). However, it is difficult to be fully represented in regional models due to domain size and a lack of observation data, particularly at sea used in regional data assimilation. Blending analysis has been developed and implemented in regional models to reintroduce large-scale information from global model to regional analysis. Research of the impact of this large-scale blending scheme for the Global / Regional Assimilation and PrEdiction System (CMA-MESO) regional model on TC forecasting is limited and this study attempts to further progress by examining the adaptivity of the blending scheme using the two-dimensional Discrete Cosine Transform (2D-DCT) filter on the model forecast of Typhoon Haima over Shenzhen, China in 2016 and considering various cut-off wavelengths. Results showed that the error of the 24-hour typhoon track forecast can be reduced to less than 25 km by applying the scale-dependent blending scheme, indicating that the blending analysis is effectively able to minimise the large-scale bias for the initial fields. The improvement of the wind forecast is more evident for u-wind component according to the reduced root mean square errors (RMSEs) by comparing the experiments with and without blending analysis. Furthermore, the higher equitable threat score (ETS) provided implications that the precipitation prediction skills were increased in the 24h forecast by improving the representation of the large-scale feature in the CMA-MESO analysis. Furthermore, significant differences of the track error forecast were found by applying the blending analysis with different cut-off wavelengths from 400 km to 1200 km and the track error can be reduced less than by 10 km with 400 km cut-off wavelength in the first 6h forecast. It highlighted that the blending scheme with dynamic cut-off wavelengths adapted to the development of different TC systems is necessary in order to optimally introduce and ingest the large-scale information from global model to the regional model for improving the TC forecast. In this paper, the methods and data applied in this study will be firstly introduced, before discussion of the results regarding the performance of the blending analysis and its impacts on the wind and precipitation forecast correspondingly, followed by the discussion of the effects of different blending scheme on TC forecasts and the conclusion section. 相似文献

应用数值模式GRAPES-TCM2.1（GT2.1）的升级版GRAPES-TCM2.6（GT2.6）对2005年西北太平洋及南海热带气旋路径进行了后报试验和性能检验。在检验预报路径时考察了平均距离误差、系统偏差、距离误差的地理分布和平均移速误差,并在总体检验的基础上,根据与热带气旋路径相关的重要因素（路径类型、强度、有无登陆过程以及有无移向或移速突变）进行了分类检验。结果表明,GT2.6表现出良好的预报性能,其对所有样本的24、48和72小时平均距离误差分别为135.8、230.7和336.0km,但前12小时距离误差较大（近100km）。用系统偏差订正GT2.6对转向类样本的预报路径可获得明显的改进。GT2.6对130°E以西区域特别是靠近我国东南沿海的热带气旋路径预报表现较好。GT2.6的总体平均预报移速在48小时内都比最佳路径移速偏快,初始的12小时内偏快最多（近1m·s^-1）,在48小时后转为偏慢。GT2.6和GT2.1的前48小时路径预报性能的稳定性相当,总体误差特征相似,GT2.6对所有样本的48小时预报有显著改进,平均距离误差减小17km。初步分析表明,对GT2.6的改进应主要集中在数值预报初始场的改进方面,比如在初始化过程中采用较准确的涡旋分离方案、加入引导向量改进初始移动以及适当考虑加入非对称Bogus涡旋;扩大预报区域,并适当选取预报区域起始位置等。 相似文献

基于副热带奇异向量的初值扰动方法已应用于GRAPES （Global and Regional Assimilation PrEdiction System）全球集合预报系统,但存在热带气旋预报路径离散度不足的问题。通过分析发现,热带气旋附近区域初值扰动结构不合理导致预报集合不能较好地估计热带气旋预报的不确定性,是路径集合离散度不足的可能原因之一。通过建立热带气旋奇异向量求解方案,将热带气旋奇异向量和副热带奇异向量共同线性组合生成初值扰动,以弥补热带气旋区域初值扰动结构不合理这一缺陷,进而改进热带气旋集合预报效果。利用GRAPES全球奇异向量计算方案,以台风中心10个经纬度区域为目标区构建热带气旋奇异向量求解方案,针对台风“榕树”个例进行集合预报试验,并开展批量试验,利用中国中央气象台最优台风路径和中国国家气象信息中心的降水观测资料进行检验,对比分析热带气旋奇异向量结构特征和初值扰动特征,评估热带气旋奇异向量对热带气旋路径集合预报和中国区域24 h累计降水概率预报技巧的影响。结果表明,热带气旋奇异向量具有局地化特征,使用热带气旋奇异向量之后,热带气旋路径离散度增加,路径集合平均预报误差和离散度的关系得到改善,路径集合平均预报误差有所减小,集合成员更好地描述了热带气旋路径的预报不确定性;中国台风降水的小雨、中雨、大雨、暴雨各量级24 h累计降水概率预报技巧均有一定提高。总之,当在初值扰动的生成中考虑热带气旋奇异向量后,可改进热带气旋初值扰动结果,并有助于改善热带气旋路径集合预报效果。 相似文献
