big upgrade on the ecm extended ens

excuse me a lot of people on here go on two

It will replace the current GEFS on February 16th, 2010. The main new thing is basically that the GEFS has a bigger resolution. 1. Increase horizontal resolution from T126 to T190 for four daily cycles. Extend forecast out to 384 hours (16 days), equal to 70km horizontal resolution. 2. Use 8th horizontal diffusion for all horizontal resolutions 3. Tune initial perturbations 4. Introduce ESMF V3.1.0rp2 (need additional RFC) scheme that allows concurrent generation of all members. http://www.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/users/workshops/WS2009/presentations/1-04.pdf 5. Introduce stochastic scheme to GFS/GEFS model. coppied from two hope this helps
