4 Publications Numerical Modelling Research and Development The Numerical Modelling Research and Development Division is responsible for research into, and development of, numerical weather prediction models and other meteorological applications, which are operationally used at knmi. Within the division, the following activities are performed: 1. Applied research in the field of numerical weather prediction: atmospheric and oceanographic modelling, physical and statistical postprocessing methods, and related applications on the interpretation, verification and economic value assessment of meteorological data 2. Development and scientific maintenance of methods, models, applications and tools for operational weather forecasting 3. Advice and transfer of expertise to external users, mainly in Dutch government agencies. Research activities focus on: 1. Short range (0-48 hours) forecasting and nowcasting of the atmosphere and sea state in and around the Netherlands on horizontal scales of ca. 10km 2. Improvement of the prediction and nowcasting of high-impact weather: wind storms and gusts, storm surges, severe precipitation, thunderstorms and strong convection, fog, high sea waves, road icing 3. The development of detailed mesoscale models and downscaling techniques suitable to describe the atmosphere and sea state at horizontal scales of 1-3 km 4. The description of uncertainty in the development of the atmosphere and sea state, by means of probabilistic forecasting techniques. The emphasis is on optimising the use of probabilistic information in early warning systems for severe weather events and on the development of short-range ensemble forecasting methods 5. The development of applications aiding the interpretation of weather forecasts for specific user groups such as aviation and water management. Publications in reviewed journals Guo-Larsen, X., V.K.

8 Publications Observations Research and Development The Observations Research and Development Division is responsible for in situ and remote sensing (including satellite) observations and their: Content quality and functionality Enhancements Maintenance and availability of knowledge and expertise on observations. The division is also responsible for the functional enhancements of systems for (automatic) data processing, storage, and the availability of data and metadata. In various studies, the division has designed components of the future Dutch observational network: upper-air observations, the synoptical network, and meteorological observations in coastal areas. These designs are intended for implementation. The division participates in the Ocean and Sea Ice and Numerical Weather Prediction saf; being primarily responsible for the development of algorithms for the satellite scatterometer wind observations. Although not a participant in the Nowcasting saf, the division has validated some saf products within the eu project cloudmap. knmi installed the Nowcasting saf software and the products are demonstrated to the forecasters in the weather service. For the esa Core Explorer Atmospherics Dynamics Mission, the division contributes to the specification of the Doppler wind lidar system to be flown (Aeolus), and to simulated impact studies. To better exploit the potential of knmi s two Doppler radars several algorithms are developed. Vertical radar wind profiles are created routinely and can be implemented operationally. To enable water managers to use radar rainfall data as quantitative information, radar precipitation sums have been calibrated against in-situ precipitation observations. The division contributed significantly to the study of extracting integrated water vapour data from European Global Positioning System stations for meteorological applications. Finally the the division s ict group is very active in r&d for database development (for satellite data) and gis applications in Climate and Meteorology.

12 Publications Climatological Services The Climatological Services Division has the (national) responsibility for the digital and documentary preservation and archiving, including access, of all meteorological observations carried out by or under auspices of knmi. Climatological research, carried out by this division, focuses on the quality management of the archived climatological data and the development, production and dissemination of high quality and high-resolution datasets and derived climatologies and assessments. These climatologies and assessments, developed by research with a predominantly applied character, contain detailed descriptions of the climate of the Netherlands within the context of its geographical environment (Europe). They inform customers about the present and past climate and weather, including the probabilities and descriptions of extremes. Results of climatological research are available for internal and external use. Important societal stakeholders are the general public and media (general climatological information), governmental bodies, supporting policy decisions concerning safety, economy and environment and the research community. In and the Climatological Services Division had and still has - a leading role in the establishment and management of the European Climate Assessment and Dataset (eca&d). This platform of scientific collaboration and data-exchange is evaluating into and acknowledged as the European focal point for high-resolution climatic data and assessments with an emphasis on extremes and is clearly visible in international frameworks like ipcc and clivar. The Climatological Services Division collaborates strongly with the Climate Analysis Division, not only with respect to eca&d but also in the domain of the hisklim programme that aims at the preservation and reconstitution of historical instrumental observational series.

14 Publications Climate Variability Research The division investigates the: 1. Dynamics of weather and climate 2. Variability of the coupled atmosphere-ocean system 3. Paleo-climate and climate change. The study of extremes in current and future climate through the use of massive ensemble methods is a new focus of the group. The expertise on the probability of extreme events and climate change is communicated to the general public. The development of weather forecasting techniques is done in collaboration with developers of weather models and with weather forecasters at knmi. In collaboration with the University of Louvain-la-Neuve, the division has developed the highly successful ecbilt-clio coupled model of intermediate complexity. Together with the Oceanographic Research Division and the physics of weather and climate group of ictp Trieste, the division now develops the speedo coupled atmosphereocean model.

16 Publications Oceanographic Research The Oceanographic Research Division studies the: 1. Variability and predictability of the ocean and the climate system 2. Interaction of the ocean with the atmosphere, including processes such as El Nino 3. Large-scale ocean circulation. The objectives are to: 1. Improve understanding and modelling of ocean processes of relevance to climate 2. Improve climate prediction on seasonal timescales 3. Understand patterns of climate change. A programme to reduce uncertainties in estimates of future sea level rise has started in. The study of extremes is another focus of the group. The division is involved in international observational programmes through the deployment of argo floats in the ocean. Together with the Climate Variability Research Division and the physics of weather and climate group of ictp Trieste, the division develops the speedo coupled atmosphere-ocean model. The expertise of the climatology of extreme events, of climate change and sea level is communicated to relevant contacts in the government administration and to the general public. The work on seasonal forecasting has had practical applications through collaboration with ecmwf. Information on seasonal forecasting is provided to the general public and to Service Providers.

19 Publications Atmospheric Research The central theme of investigation in the Atmospheric Research Division is the heat and water balance of the atmosphere. This includes the: 1. Study of energy transfer between land and atmosphere 2. Development of new techniques to retrieve relevant atmospheric parameters from satellite and surface remote sensing equipment 3. Study of atmospheric processes combining obser vations with models 4. Use and development of the Regional Atmospheric Climate Model (racmo) for climate diagnosis and climate scenarios. The research site of Cabauw plays an important role in many of the observational studies. Within the European context, this division is involved in the development of atmospheric retrieval procedures for new and emerging satellite technologies and plays a key role in national and international collaborative research programmes of the hydrological cycle.
