Delve into the complexities of atmospheric shadowing with Ross Lieb-Lappen and Chris Danforth as they explore uncertainty, chaos, and model error affecting system forecasts. Learn about improving forecast accuracy and ensemble forecasting using the Lorenz ‘96 Model and inflation techniques. This research sheds light on controlling forecast errors and defining new ensemble members.

SHADOWING IN THE ATMOSPHERE Ross Lieb-Lappen Chris Danforth
Forecasting Challenges • Uncertainty in the initial state • Chaos: sensitive dependence • on initial conditions • Model error

Forecasting Methodology • Ensemble forecasting • Lorenz ‘96 Model • Define new ensemble members • Inflation of forecast ellipsoid external forcing advection dissipation
Controlled Inflation • Only in contracting directions • Within climatological span • of particular variable • Maintain appropriate ratio • with neighboring values
