What are Ensemble Forecasts?What are Ensemble Forecasts?
Copyright © 2014 Open Geospatial Consortium
• A set of parallel forecasts for the same times and locations. • They are an effective use of highly parallel computers. • They are a based on a set of equally likely perturbations of
one initial state, each of which is used to calculate a forecast
• A member : one forecast out of an Ensemble Forecast set

1st draft1st draft
• MODWG_WMS1-3_Best_Practice_Ensembles_v0.3.1.doc• Initiated by Chris and Jurgen• Same structure as Time and elevation BP
– Presentation of the specificities and uses of the data– Main use cases– Requirements and recommendations
OGC®
Consensus on 2 families of Use CasesConsensus on 2 families of Use Cases
–For met professionals:• 1 member out of n• Distributed multimodel• Multimodels in 1 location • Distributed ensemble model (maybe not realistic)
Copyright © 2014 Open Geospatial Consortium
–For decision support :• EPS derived products:
probabilities, spaghettis, clustering
• A spaghetti chart of a four day forecast for the North Atlantic which approximates the thickness of the lower atmosphere, as a proxy for average temperature.
• 500 hPa height ensemble forecast for 2001-02-11, 12:00 UTC (T+96 from 2001-02-07, 12:00 UTC)

On the implementation sideOn the implementation side
• Focussing first on the second family of Use Cases of statistical products for decision support
• 4 different implementations used in– AFWA – DWD– Meteo-France– ECMWF
• A Proposal to introduce a more innovative and powerful syntax made by Peter Baumann
OGC®
Which means Which means
• That we really need Best Practices !
• We would appreciate some « deeper » expertise about the pros and cons of each solution
• Presented in Met Ocean DWG AND WMS SWG
