Modèle:
ECMWF: Global weather forecast model from the "European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts". ECMWF is now running its own Artificial Intelligence/Integrated Forecasting System (AIFS) as part of its experiment suite. These machine-learning-based models are very fast, and they produce a 10-day forecast with 6-hourly time steps in approximately one minute.
Mise à jour:
4 times per day, from 3:30, 09:30, 15:30 and 21:30 UTC
Greenwich Mean Time:
12:00 UTC = 14:00 CEST
Résolution:
0.25° x 0.25°
Paramètre:
Geopotential height Temperature at 500 hPa
Description:
Geopotential height at 500 hPa (solid line)
Temperature at 500 hPa (colored, dashed)
The maps show the predominant tropospheric waves (trough or ridge).
They virtually control the ''weather'' (dry, warm / wet, cold) and the long waves
drive the smaller synoptic waves.
Thus, this upper-level chart illustrates the dynamics of our atmosphere.
Cluster of Ensemble Members:
20 members of an ensemble run are divided into different clusters which means groups with similar members according to the hierarchical "Ward method"
The average surface pressure of all members in each cluster are computed and shown as isobares.
The number of members in each cluster determines the probability of the forecast (see percentage)
Dendrogramme:
A dendrogram shows the multidimensional distances between objects in a tree-like structure. Objects that are closest in a multidimensional data space are connected by a horizontal line forming a cluster. The distance between a given pair of objects (or clusters) are indicated by the height of the horizontal line.
[http://www.statistics4u.info/fundstat_germ/cc_dendrograms]. The greater the distance the bigger the differences.
NWP:
La prévision numérique du temps (PNT) est une application de la météorologie et de l'informatique. Elle repose sur le choix d'équations mathématiques offrant une proche approximation du comportement de l'atmosphère réelle. Ces équations sont ensuite résolues, à l'aide d'un ordinateur, pour obtenir une simulation accélérée des états futurs de l'atmosphère. Le logiciel mettant en œuvre cette simulation est appelé un modèle de prévision numérique du temps.
