• Why use gridded weather analyses?• High-spatial and temporal resolution representation of
near-surface weather conditions• A variety of intended uses
• creation and verification of gridded forecasts• coastal zone and fire management• dispersion modeling for the transport of hazardous
materials• aviation and surface transportation management• impact studies of climate change on the regional scale.
• Increasing use in agricultural sector

Motivation
• Uses for gridded analyses in agriculture• Fill in gaps between weather stations• Proxy for an observation if point observation is
missing• Improve situational awareness (e.g., contoured
maps of temperature depicting frontal boundary)• Specific application: Enviro-weather (EW)
automated weather network.• 79 automated weather stations (and growing!)

Gridded Datasets
• Real Time Mesoscale Analysis (RTMA)– Generated at the National Centers for Environmental
Prediction (NCEP), a division of the National Weather Service (NWS)
– First guess (i.e., background): 1-hr forecast from • Rapid Update Cycle (RUC) / Rapid Refresh (RAP) models
– Large number of observations assimilated (ASOS*, mesonet, satellite wind, etc.)
– Includes precipitation analysis (Stage II)– Grid spacing: 2.5 km (5 km recently phased out)– Temporal frequency: hourly
Introduction

Gridded Datasets
• Stage IV precipitation analysis (aka MPE)– 1-hour precipitation estimates from NWS Doppler radar
combined with rain gauge observations (~3000 more gauges than Stage II)
– Regional analyses generated at individual river forecast centers (RFCs), sent to NCEP, and merged
– Manual quality control performed at each RFC– Grid spacing: 4 km– Temporal frequency: hourly, but manual QC process and
transmittal to NCEP delays availability (i.e., not real-time). 6- and 24-hour analyses also available.

Study Questions
• How do nearest-grid-point RTMA temperature, dewpoint and relative humidity (derived) differ from point observations?
• Are precipitation differences smaller with Stage IV than Stage II? If so, how much smaller?
• Overall, are differences larger at EW stations than ASOS stations? If so, how much larger?
• How do differences impact the output of plant pest and disease models?

Plant disease and pest models
• Fire blight– Inputs: Degree days, degree hours, 24-hr mean
and maximum temperature (also need information on wetting event or trauma)
• Codling moth– Input: Degree day
• Apple scab (primary infection model)– Inputs: Degree day, precipitation, 1-hr mean
temperature, mean RH, leaf wetness proportion

Apple scab primary infection model
• Fungus (Venturia inaequalis)• Rain of at least 0.01” needed to soak
overwintering leaves and release ascospores• Wetting period begins with 0.01”+
– may be extended with additional rain, RH >= 90% (dew), or leaf wetness proportion >= 25% (r/d)
– Progress to infection a function of temperature– Dry period of less than 8 hours stalls progress to
infection but does not eliminate risk

Apple scab: Interpretation
• Wetting period count sensitive to choice of Stage II or Stage IV. Duration less sensitive. (Number of wetting periods is a function of precipitation only)
• Infection events (number and duration) sensitive to choice of Stage II/IV, especially sensitive to RTMA temperature & RH errors
• Considerable station-to-station and year-to-year variability (not shown)

Gridded Analysis Summary
• Gridded analyses have promise as a source of weather data for IPM applications in Michigan
• However, we must proceed with caution:• Disease models with multiple weather inputs pose a challenge
for RTMA/STAGEIV; also: long-duration degree day accumulations (aggregate errors)
• Considerable station-to-station variation in errors• Errors generally larger at EW sites than ASOS sites
• Temperature/dewpoint analysis suggests that bias correction has promise, but would need to be site-specific

Current/Future Directions
• Develop gridded leaf wetness duration proxy• Work toward integration of:
– mesonet observations with gridded analyses– historical climate data with gridded analyses and forecasts
• Look at additional IPM applications to further evaluate applicability of gridded data– Special focus: assess feasibility of using gridded precipitation
analyses and forecasts in IPM applications
• Explore spatial variability of gridded product error

NDFD evaluation
• National Digital Forecast Database (NDFD)– consists of gridded forecasts of sensible weather
elements (e.g., cloud cover, maximum temperature)
– seamless mosaic of digital forecasts from NWS field offices working in collaboration with the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP)
– 7 Days: Day 1-3 forecasts (updated hourly) and day 4-7 forecasts (updated four times per day)
