Background of THORPEX Background of THORPEX
• TIGGE is an acronym for “THORPEX Interactive Grand Global Ensemble“.
• THORPEX is a WMO global atmospheric research program designed to:– Advance knowledge of global-to-regional influences on weather
systems to lead to improved forecast performance– Accelerate improvements in the accuracy of one-day to two-week
forecasts for high-impact weather,– Contribute to the development of GIFS (the Global
Interactive Forecast System), etc.
THORPEX : The Observing System Research and Predictability Experiment World Weather Research Programme of WMO

TIGGE is a framework under THORPEX for international collaboration in development and testing of ensemble prediction systems.
Ensemble forecast data is collected in near real-time from many operational centers.
Data providers ( 10 center) BOM, CMA, CPTEC, ECMWF,JMA, KMA, Meteo-France, CMC, NCEP,UKMO

• Design structure of TIGGE data set considering potential scientific research and possible real-time applications:
– Compare initial condition methods (SV, BGM, EnKF, …)– Compare multi-model and perturbed physics– Develop products ( ways to combine ensembles)– Boundary conditions for regional ensembles– Regime-dependence of ensemble configuration (size, resolution, c
omposition)– Observation targeting (case selection)– Societal and economic impact assessment

JMA’s Provision of EPS GPV Data for TIGGEJMA’s Provision of EPS GPV Data for TIGGE
• JMA provides GPV of One-Week EPS (WEPS) operations once a day (12UTC).– This provision was started on September 25, 2006.
• New parameters were added and the forecast time interval of all parameters were set to 6 hours on March 20, 2007.
• 60 of the 77 requested parameters are currently provided.

CXML (Cyclone XML) Data: MotivationCXML (Cyclone XML) Data: Motivation
• To facilitate easy exchange of information, a standard format to represent analyzed and forecast data for tropical and extra-tropical cyclones is proposed.
• The new format, called Cyclone XML (CXML) is descriptive and human-legible, making it easy for all human users and most automated applications to read.
CXML data
http://www.bom.gov.au/bmrc/projects/THORPEX/CXML/index.html
• CXML data include information of multiple storms as following;– Analysis, – Forecasts of Deterministic NWP Model,– Forecasts of EPS

JMA’s Provision of CXML DataJMA’s Provision of CXML Data
• CXML Data for western North Pacific provided by JMA includes
- GSM (Deterministic Forecast Model),
- One-Week EPS,
- Typhoon EPS.
• Provision of the data was started on 1 August 2008 for T-PARC1.
1) T-PARC is an international research projects implemented under THORPEX.
