Introduction


CEMC-CMA model (BABJ)

Beijing Climate Center (BCC) Climate Prediction System version 2 (BCC-CPS v2) is a climate prediction system used for S2S and seasonal forecast from China Meteorological Administration (CMA). This system consists of a fully-coupled BCC Climate System Model BCC-CSM2-HR (Wu et al. 2021), a coupled data assimilation system (Liu et al., 2021) and a forecast ensemble method using stochastically perturbed physical tendency (SPPT) scheme. The coupled data assimilation (CDA) system consisting of ocean, sea-ice, and atmosphere data assimilation components with the Beijing Climate Center (BCC) Climate System Model has been developed to provide reliable analyses of the atmosphere, ocean, and sea-ice states. It incorporates ocean temperature/salinity profiles, sea surface temperature, sea level height, and sea-ice concentration observations at a daily frequency, and atmosphere reanalysis at a 6-hourly frequency. The system is capable of realistically reproducing the climatology and variability of ocean, sea-ice, and atmosphere.The S2S forecasts are running on every Monday and Thursday with a 60-day integration. Hindcasts is set to on-the-fly type, containing past 15 year re-forecasts related to the real-time forecast date.

BCC-CPS v2 replaced BCC-CPS v1 in November 2019, when S2S phase II began. BCC-CPS v1, which served during S2S phase I, is based on lagged average forecasting (LAF) method using a fully-coupled BCC Climate System Model BCC-CSM1.2. The BCC-CPS v1 S2S forecasts are running on every day since 1 Jan 1994 and end with a 60-day integration. Each forecast consists of 4 LAF ensemble members, which are initialized at 00 UTC of the first forecast day and 18, 12 and 06 UTC of the previous day, respectively.

IAP-CAS model (ANSO)

Second generation Finite volume prediction system of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) Flexible Global Ocean-Atmosphere-Land  system  version 1.3 (FGOALS-f2 v1.3) was developed at Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP) ,CAS, which is jointly funded by Alliance of International Science Organizations (ANSO) and the National Natural Science Foundation of China major research project of the earth-atmosphere coupling system on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and its global climate effect. The prediction model is CAS FGOALS-f2, which is a Climate System Model representing the interaction between the atmosphere, oceans, land and sea ice. The S2S Forecasts runs 16-ensemble members  each day for real-time forecast since 1st June 2019 and 4-ensemble members each day for re-forecast since 1st January 1999. This S2S prediction ends with a 65-day integration.

Key regionally-relevant S2S research questions & activities being pursued in the region


  •  How well are S2S forecasts capture high impact weather events in the China region during East-Asia Summer Monsoon period?

  •  What are the potential influence of coupled data assimilation initialization on the S2S forecast?
