CEOP Model Output : MOLTS ECPC SFC6 data

Ten operational Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) and two data assimilation centers are currently contributing analysis/assimilation and forecast model products from global and regional NWP suites, including both operational and reanalysis systems to this component of CEOP. The contributing centers include: BoM: Bureau of Meteorology CPTEC: Centro de Previsao de Tempo e Estudos Climaticos ECMWF: European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts ECPC: Experimental Climate Prediction Center EMC: EPSON Meteo Center (Centro EPSON Meteo) GLDAS: Global Land Data Assimilation System GMAO: NASA Global Modeling and Assimilation Office JMA: Japan Meteorological Agency MSC: Meteorological Service Canada NCEP: National Centers for Environmental Prediction NCMRWF: National Center for Medium Range Weather Forecasting UKMO: UK Met Office The Max-Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPIM) in coordination with the ICSU World Data Center for Climate (WDCC) in Hamburg, Germany was designated as the CEOP model output archive center. The WDCC is administered by the Model and Data Group (M&D) at MPIM and the German Climate Computing Center (DKRZ). To assist with the organization of this activity during the Coordinated Enhanced Observing Period ('CEOP'), a Model Output Management Document was drafted as a guide for the participating centers to use in setting up their processes for meeting their commitments to 'CEOP'. The Guidance Document addressed the two issues of (1) the model output variables requested by 'CEOP' and (2) the two types of requested model output, namely global gridded (in GRIB format) and site-specific Model Output Location Time Series (MOLTS) at each of the 'CEOP' Reference Sites. A new version of the Guidance Document will be compiled that clarifies what model output data will be generated by the NWP Centers and Groups contributing to the model output component of Coordinated Energy and Water Cycle Observations Project (CEOP) and how they will interface/transfer the data that will be handled and retained at the WDCC. The issues covered in the document will include: (1) global versus regional products; (2) desired assimilation output; Interval and length of free-running forecasts; (3) Operational versus reanalysis data; (4) the CEOP schedule/archive periods; (5) the number and locations of MOLTS sites; and (6) the homogenizing of the model output and metadata formats (i.e. standard parameters). Results up to this point in the CEOP model output generation effort make it clear that the transfer aspect of the data handling effort has been progressing well. Data from all twelve Centers participating in CEOP have been received at the data archive center and has either been placed into the database at the Hamburg facility, or is in the process of being entered into the database.

目前共有10个业务化数值天气预报（Numerical Weather Prediction, NWP）机构与2个数据同化中心，正为协调增强观测期（Coordinated Enhanced Observing Period, CEOP）的该子项目提供来自全球及区域数值天气预报系统套件的分析/同化与预报模式产品，涵盖业务化系统与再分析系统两类。参与贡献的机构包括：
- 澳大利亚气象局（Bureau of Meteorology, BoM）
- 巴西气候预测与气候研究中心（Centro de Previsao de Tempo e Estudos Climaticos, CPTEC）
- 欧洲中期天气预报中心（European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, ECMWF）
- 实验气候预测中心（Experimental Climate Prediction Center, ECPC）
- 爱普生气象中心（EPSON Meteo Center, EMC，原文标注Centro EPSON Meteo）
- 全球陆面数据同化系统（Global Land Data Assimilation System, GLDAS）
- NASA全球建模与同化办公室（NASA Global Modeling and Assimilation Office, GMAO）
- 日本气象厅（Japan Meteorological Agency, JMA）
- 加拿大气象服务局（Meteorological Service Canada, MSC）
- 美国国家环境预报中心（National Centers for Environmental Prediction, NCEP）
- 国家中期天气预报中心（National Center for Medium Range Weather Forecasting, NCMRWF）
- 英国气象局（UK Met Office, UKMO）

德国汉堡的国际科学联合会世界气候数据中心（World Data Center for Climate, WDCC）与马克斯·普朗克气象研究所（Max-Planck Institute for Meteorology, MPIM）合作，被指定为CEOP模式输出档案中心。WDCC由MPIM的模式与数据工作组（Model and Data Group, M&D）以及德国气候计算中心（German Climate Computing Center, DKRZ）共同管理。

为协助协调增强观测期（CEOP）期间此项工作的组织，项目组起草了《模式输出管理文档》，作为参与机构落实CEOP相关承诺的流程指南。该指南涵盖两大核心议题：(1) CEOP所请求的模式输出变量；(2) 两类被请求的模式输出产品，即全球格点化（GRIB格式）数据，以及CEOP各参考站点对应的站点专属模式输出时间序列（Model Output Location Time Series, MOLTS）。

将编译新版指南文档，以明确参与协调能源与水循环观测计划（Coordinated Energy and Water Cycle Observations Project, CEOP）模式输出子项目的数值天气预报机构及团队所生成的模式输出数据内容，以及这些机构如何对接/传输将由WDCC处理与留存的数据。文档将涵盖以下议题：(1) 全球与区域产品的区分；(2) 所需的同化输出、自由运行预报的时间间隔与时长；(3) 业务化数据与再分析数据的区分；(4) CEOP的进度安排/档案存储周期；(5) MOLTS站点的数量与分布；(6) 模式输出与元数据格式的统一（即标准参数集）。

截至目前，CEOP模式输出生成工作的进展表明，数据处理环节中的数据传输部分推进顺利。所有12家参与CEOP的机构所提供的数据已送达档案中心，要么已存入汉堡站点的数据库，要么正处于入库流程中。用户可通过以下链接查看MPIM档案库中的当前数据馆藏：http://www.mad.zmaw.de/fileadmin/extern/wdc/ceop/Data_timeline_L_12.pdf。
