Operational Ensemble Prediction at the National Meteorological Center: Practical Aspects
M. Steven Tracton,Eugenia Kalnay +1 more
TL;DR: Before 7 December 1992, NMC was producing a single global forecast through 10 days with the highest-resolution (T126) version possible of its medium-range forecast model, but now, based an experiments that showed no adverse impac...
Journal ArticleDOI
Using Ensembles for Short-Range Forecasting
TL;DR: Numerical forecasts from a pilot program on short-range ensemble forecasting at the National Centers for Environmental Prediction are examined and it is indicated that using two different numerical models assists in increasing the ensemble spread significantly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamical Extended Range Forecasting (DERF) at the National Meteorological Center
TL;DR: Early results of an experimental program in Dynamical Extended Range Forecasting at the National Meteorological Center (NMC) were presented in this article, where the authors assessed the feasibility of extending operational numerical weather prediction beyond the medium range to the monthly outlook problem.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predictability and Its Relationship to Scale Interaction Processes in Blocking
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used synoptic analysis and quasi-geostrophic diagnosis of the dynamical processes in the real versus forecast model atmosphere to show the temporal and spatial relationships of circulation systems of three distinct wavebands.
