Around the world wind energy is starting to become a major provider in electricity markets, as well participating ancillary services markets help maintain grid stability. The reliability of system operations and smooth integration into has been strongly supported by years improvement weather power forecasting systems. Deterministic forecasts are still predominant utility practice although truly optimal decisions risk hedging only possible with adoption uncertainty forecasts. One main...
Today's ensemble weather prediction systems provide reliable and sharp probabilistic forecasts—yet they are still rarely communicated to outside users because of two main worries: the difficulty communicating probabilities lay audiences their presumed reluctance use forecasts. To bridge gap between forecasts available in day‐to‐day decision making, we encourage scientists, developers, end‐users engage interdisciplinary collaborations. Here, discuss our experience with three different...
We present ICON-waves, a new component of the ICOsahedral Non-hydrostatic (ICON) modeling system, designed to explicitly model ocean surface gravity waves and their feedbacks on atmosphere within Earth system. Until now, ICON-NWP model, developed routinely operated by German Weather Service (DWD), has not fully captured impact wave-induced interactions. Waves influence sea state, generate turbulence, modify currents, affect air-sea exchanges heat, matter, momentum. ICON-waves addresses these...
"Enhancing the Value of Weather and Climate Services in Society: Identified Gaps Needs as Outcomes First WMO WWRP/SERA Society Conference" published on 17 Mar 2023 by American Meteorological Society.
The energy sector has a wide range of requirements for weather and climate data services. As in many other countries, the share renewable energies increased Germany during last years German government aims at further increase within next decades. consequence, there is an increasing need meteorological information on several time scales. In this presentation, we will discuss experience Germany’s national service (Deutscher Wetterdienst, DWD) with provision user-oriented services...
The enhancement in user communication is one of the key aspects RainBoW (Risk-based, Application-oriented and INdividualizaBle delivery Optimized Weather warnings) programme, which encompasses development new weather warning system for German Meteorological Service (Deutscher Wetterdienst). Within RainBoW, a probabilistic developed that supplies both information to users with special requirements but also generates standardised warnings general public. It addresses number elements, such as...
<p>To improve the prediction of small-scale flooding events with high societal impacts that may result from heavy precipitation associated severe convective storms, Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD) is strengthening its collaboration Germany´s flood forecasting authorities.</p> <p>With focus on seamless and probabilistic summertime precipitation, DWD´s novel Seamless Integrated Forecasting System (SINFONY) considered as a major...
<p>Ensemble prediction systems have evolved as a standard in today’s numerical weather (NWP). At the same time, with an increasing number of members, higher spatiotemporal resolution and more runs per day, amount data produced is growing fast. However, not all operational users are able to process data, which calls for methods reduce volume while preserving much ensemble information possible.</p> <p>The SINFONY project at Deutscher...
