Extratropical transition,downstream impacts, targeted observations
Additional Extratropical Transition Components at DLR and FZK, Germany
• August-September 2008
• Asian societal impacts from heavy rainfall, typhoon and extratropical transition (ET) with research interests in:
• tropical cyclone formation• intensification • Motion/track• decay and/or ET
• Downstream effects of Asian and Western Pacific high-impact weather on North America, Europe with research interests in
• tropical and midlatitude predictability • tropical cyclones
– Recurvature – ET
• intense extratropical cyclogenesis
• International Collaborators: U.S. (NSF, ONR), Germany, Japan, China, South Korea, Canada, France, U.K., Taiwan

2 Projects contributing directly to T-PARC (despite name of group!):
1) The impact of extratropical transition on downstream predictability (PI: Jones, 1 Postdoc, 3 Ph.D. students)
Data denial and data impact studies for ET in collaboration with ECMWF Investigation of singular vectors targeted on tropical cyclones and their impact on
ECMWF EPS forecasts
TIGGE case studies with high resolution modelling Idealised modelling and PV inversion
2) Adaptive observing strategies for active airborne remote-sensing instruments (PI: Weissmann, 1 Ph.D. student)

MOTIVATION: IMPROVED WEATHER FORECASTS
The poleward movement of a tropical cyclone often results in a period of reduced forecast accuracy in operational numerical global weather prediction models

Variability among ensemble members as a measure of the predictability downstream from an ET event
Standard deviation among GFS ensemble members from the model integration initiated at 1200 UTC 6 September 2005 increases downstream of the extratropical transition of TY Nabi
200 hPa meridional wind anomalies
Period of TY Nabi and pronounced downstream response
Period of TY Saola and lack of a pronounced downstream response
What are the primary mechanisms that determine whether a downstream response will occur?
Summary: Major Science Issues•Mechanisms
- Sensitivities due to TC/ET characteristics- influence of TC structure
- outflow
- diabatic process and their impacts on the midlatitude flow
- Sensitivities due to midlatitude flow characteristics
Tropical cyclone core region
Tropical cyclone-midlatitude interface
Midlatitude impact region
Summary: Major Science Issues•Mechanisms
- Sensitivities due to TC/ET characteristics- influence of TC structure
- outflow
- warm frontogenesis and its impact on the midlatitude flow
- Sensitivities due to midlatitude flow characteristics
•Predictability (understanding and assessment)- Ensemble spread- Forecast error growth- Timing/extent/persistence of the downstream response
- Sensitivities to initial conditions and their propagation throughout the forecast cycle
•Predictability (increase)- Predict the reduction in forecast error variance due to supplemental/targeted
observations - test new strategies and observational systems - Data assimilation strategies, impacts.
