  4. NWP at the IMS • Operational from • early 2008. • Meet Hydrology-SAF programme obligations • Help with opportunity LAM EPS efforts • Facilitate comparison with other European wide high resolution modelling systems

  5. NWP at the IMS • The 2.8 km COSMO-IT has been running at the Italian Met. Service since October2006. Intensive verification and tuning of the model has been performed over this period to reach an operational level of skill. Some of the most significant steps: • Multi-layer soil (Schrodin & Heise, 2001) • Semi-lagrangian advection of humidity variables (Baldauf, 2005) • Time integration step tuning (winter storms) • Introduction of observation nudging for model initialization

  6. 3rd SRNWP Workshop on short-range EPS www.meteoam.it srepsws@meteoam.it Rome, 10-12 December 2007 Università Roma I “Sapienza”
