Scientific rationale: same documents call for
• Holistic approach– Obs, models, DA, HPC
• Seamless weather-to-climate systems, including uncertainty
• Multi-model ensembles• Improve representation of processes,
esp. convection• Air-ocean-land-ice coupling• Exploit sources of predictability in
system– MJO, ENSO, Arctic ice, monsoon
variability• Common shared software
infrastructure

National ESPC Partnership
incorporates existing NUOPC effort
• Goal: a more accurate, longer range, global ocean and atmosphere forecast system for decision support
• “Extended” Synoptic Range– Increased accuracy for lead times of 1-32 days– Accurate Arctic forecasts at multiple lead times.– Integrated, coupled atmosphere, ocean, sea ice, land and
upper atmosphere global prediction system with improved forecast skill over the current operational suite
• Longer Range:– Ensemble prediction to 90 days – Inter-agency multi-model sub-seasonal, seasonal, intra-annual,
sub-decadal to decadal outlooks of global weather and ocean conditions
• Need: more computationally efficient environmental prediction codes optimized for emerging architectures
A coordination activity to develop/implement a common or coordinated prediction technology through an affiliation of existing Programs, Projects, Laboratories, Centers
Partnership of federal environmental research and environmental operational guidance agenciesMeet needs of user community through existing/planned agency operational numerical prediction
capabilities through coordinated R&D and operations

• Hurricane Forecast Improvement Program (HFIP: 1-7 days)• Providing rapid improvement R2O capability for US (NOAA), Global (Navy) Tropical Cyclone Track and Intensity• Distributed Production Centers leverage multi-agency resources
• National Unified Operational Prediction Capability (NUOPC: 5-16 days)
• Multi-model ensembles improve medium-range forecasts and probabilities of specific events
• Leverage multi-agency resources and missions• Extending to 30 days (poss. 45 days)• Increase resolution to 1/2˚ in 2015• Incorporates Common Modeling Architecture (ESMF)
• N. Am. Multi-model Ensemble* (NMME: 1-9 months)• Multi-model Climate Ensembles: more accurate than any one model• Distributed Production: leverages multi-agency and
international computer infrastructure and investments (US, Canada)• Skill improves with spatial resolution - All run at sub-optimal
but best affordable resolution.

NUOPC as a transition and operational implementation coordinator
• History managing inter-agency topic-driven committees– Common Model Architecture – Physics Interoperability– Unified Ensemble Operations– Coupled Global Modeling (new)– Integrated Modeling Systems (new)
• Common Model Architecture: ESMF v.6 (incl NUOPC layer) released• Unified Operational Ensemble
– 60-member ensemble plus 3 controls (NWS, CMC, Navy)– Common bias correction method– 1° resolution output, going to .5° in Sep 2015– 80 fields exchanged at 1°, becoming 91 fields at .5°– 16d extent with 6-hourly output going to 32d when ready– Raw and bias-corrected fields and products available– WWIII ensemble based on 63-member ensemble– Atmosphere-only, including ocean/sea ice/waves in 2018
A Common Model Architecture for Integrated Whole Earth Modeling
• The Earth system modeling community is converging on a common modeling architecture
• Atmosphere, ocean, sea ice, land, wave, and other models are ESMF components called by a top-level driver/coupler
• Many models are componentizing further

Research Challenges
• Advance understanding, representation of key processes– Multi-scale tropical convection and its two-way interaction with global circulation– Arctic processes: freeze-thaw, ice mobility; atmosphere BL and ocean modeling– Blocking processes– Atmosphere, land, hydrology, ocean, and cryosphere coupling; teleconnection processes
between Arctic, temperate, and tropical regions• Model technology:
– Data assimilation (including coupled DA) and ensemble generation techniques– Model component characterization of internal processes, coupling between components,
and interactions– Physical process-based metrics for model accuracy characterization as well as product
guidance– Ensemble numerical post-processing techniques
• Assessments of uncertainty• Member management (clumping, distributions)• Ensemble design across time scales: model membership, update cycles, initialization strategies etc.• Product generation to express perception of predictions as well as uncertainty (social science)
• HPC utilization– Exploit advanced architectures
