CAPS 2008 Spring Experiment Ensemble Forecast Product


This demonstration webpage shows hourly ensemble products (postage-stamp chart, mean/spread, spaghetti plots, and probability maps) of the forecast composite reflectivity and 1-h accumulated precipitation fields, along with the available observations (composite reflectivity mosaic and NSSL/NMQ 1-h precipitation) valid at the same times.

[WRF-ARW modeling system;10 ensemble members (hybrid: initial perturbation + physics perturbation)
; 4 km horizontal grid spacing; 51 vertical levels] NEW in 2008: a) Forecast is initiated at 0000 UTC, 30 h forecast; b) WSR-88D radar data are assimilated at 0000 UTC for all but c0 members;  c) Eight members have  initial perturbations added; d)  Larger domain.
