Abstract: Recent studies have demonstrated that variational nonlinear normal-mode initialization can be efficiently implemented in the context of shallow-water models, provided one uses a physical space formulation. The implicit ...

Abstract: In a previous study based on the shallow-water equations, it was shown that nonlinear normal mode initialization (NMI) can be implemented without knowing the normal modes of a model; this implicit form of nonlinear NMI is ...

Abstract: The usefulness of numerical weather prediction models in very short-range forecasting is limited by the spinup problem, resulting in an underestimation of both the divergent wind component and the precipitation. To alleviate ...

Abstract: To meet the needs of short- and medium-range operational forecasting, the authors propose a unified strategy based on the use of a global variable-resolution model, run in two different configurations. These are as follows: ...

Abstract: An integrated forecasting and data assimilation system has been and is continuing to be developed by the Meteorological Research Branch (MRB) in partnership with the Canadian Meteorological Centre (CMC) of Environment ...

Abstract: The Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC) recently implemented a 33-km version of the Global Environmental Multiscale (GEM) model, with improved physics, for medium-range weather forecasts. Quantitative precipitation ...

Abstract: global deterministic wave prediction system (GDWPS) is used to improve regional forecasts of waves off the Canadian coastline and help support the practice of safe marine activities in Canadian waters. The wave model has ...

Abstract: AbstractThe importance of coupling between the atmosphere and the ocean for forecasting on time scales of hours to weeks has been demonstrated for a range of physical processes. Here, the authors evaluate the impact of an ...
