Teknologi Modifikasi Cuaca (TMC) yang diterapkan oleh BPPT di Kalimantan Selatan dilakukan guna mengatasi kekurangan debit air yang terjadi pada DAS Riam Kanan. Untuk melaksanakan TMC yang efektif dan efisien dibutuhkan prediksi cuaca harian yang akurat dan mendetail pada catchment area (daerah tangkapan hujan) tersebut, khususnya prediksi curah hujan harian. TMC yang diterapkan oleh BPPT menggunakan prediksi yang salah satunya diambil dari Global Forecast System (GFS) Meteorogram. Prediksi tersebut bisa menjadi referensi untuk mengolah dan menganalisis parameter cuaca dengan baik, serta merencanakan dan memutuskan pelaksanaan penerbangan eksekusi selama kegiatan TMC. Untuk menguji ketepatan suatu prediksi, maka diperlukan validasi/perbandingan hasil prediksi dengan data real, yaitu data curah hujan yang dapat diambil dari data Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM).Prediksi curah hujan menggunakan GFS Meteorogram dibandingkan dengan data curah hujan dari TRMM di daerah DAS Riam Kanan menggunakan korelasi Pearson, pengambilan data prediksi GFS dilakukan mulai dari 16 Mei 2014 s/d 31 Mei 2014. Koefisien korelasi yang diambil hanya yang memiliki pola/bentuk hubungan korelasi linear positif (+1). Dari hasil analisis korelasi didapatkan bahwa dari 16 hari pengambilan data di semua lokasi, rata-rata terdapat 8 - 11 hari yang memiliki nilai koefisien korelasi (KK) positif untuk prediksi di hari yang sama dan 6 - 11 hari untuk prediksi Lag_1, dengan nilai KK yang paling banyak muncul yaitu : range 0.4 - 0.7 untuk prediksi 7 hari ke depan, range 0.7 - 0.9 untuk prediksi 5 hari ke depan, dan range 0.9 - 1 untuk prediksi 3 hari ke depan. Dari keenam lokasi titik prediksi dengan nilai koefisien korelasi linear positif yang paling banyak muncul dan memiliki hubungan yang paling kuat adalah di titik Banjarmasin dan DAS bagian Utara.Kata Kunci : prediksi curah hujan GFS, curah hujan TRMM DAS Riam Kanan, koefisien korelasiWeather Modification Technology applied by BPPT in South Kalimantan in order to overcome the shortage of water discharge that occurs in the Riam Kanan Watershed.

<p>This study evaluates the short-to-medium range precipitation forecasts from Global Forecast System for 14 major transboundary river basins in Africa against GPM IMERG “Early”, IMERG “Final”, and CHIRPSv2 products. Daily precipitation forecasts with lead times of 1-day, 5-day, 10-day, and 15-day and accumulated precipitation forecasts with periods of 1-day, 5-day, 10-day, and 15-day are investigated. The 14 selected basins are (1) Senegal; (2) Volta; (3) Niger; (4) Chad; (5) Nile; (6) Awash; (7) Congo; (8) Omo Gibe; (9) Tana; (10) Pangani; (11) Zambezi; (12) Okavango; (13) Limpopo and (14) Orange. For each basin, several sub-basins are defined by the major dams in the basin. Our preliminary results in the Nile river basin show that in terms of temporal variability, there was a good agreement between the forecasted and observed accumulated precipitation on a 15-day basis. When compared to IMERG “Final”, the correlation coefficients of accumulated GFS forecasts scored as high as 0.75. Thus, GFS products provide relatively reliable accumulated precipitation forecasts. However, the precipitation forecasts were mostly biased: they tend to overpredict rainfall for the eastern part of the Nile river, underestimate rainfall for the northern part of the Nile river and produce almost unbiased estimates for the southern part of the river. Additionally, GFS forecasts have a general tendency to underpredict the area of precipitation across the Nile basin. Although the performance of GFS varies at different locations, the GFS precipitation forecasts can be a good reference to dam operators in Africa. </p>

The construction of the Temef Dam in Oenino Village, Oenino District, and Konbaki Village, Polen District, South Central Timor Regency requires long and reliable rainfall data. To overcome the minimum data or the unavailability of automatic rainfall (ARR) and discharge data in the past decades, the use of Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite data is foreseen. The accuracy of TRMM data is obtained when the parameters of suitability and compatibility of TRMM are in a good agreement with the ARR. For the Temef watershed, there are six rainfall stations that were reviewed, namely Fatumnasi, Oeoh, Noelnoni, Polen, Nifukani, and Batinifukoko rainfall stations. Direct comparisons of rainfall data were conducted for 20 years (1998-2018) with temporal resolution on a monthly and daily basis. The results of the study show that the rainfall patterns in the TRMM data product (version 3B42V7) tend to be consistent with 3 rainfall stations in the Temef watershed namely Noelnoni, Fatumnasi, and Batinifukoko. A correlation coefficient of 0.505 – 0.813 was obtained from TRMM data calibration at monthly basis while a correction factor level of 0.0056 - 0.0129 was obtained for daily.  The calibration on the annual maximum daily rainfall data resulted in a correction factor of 0.0298 - 0.2516. Monthly and daily TRMM data fit well with the data of 3 rainfall stations. However, the Noelnoni rainfall station showed poor results on the annual maximum daily rainfall.Keywords: TRMM data, ARR data, correction factor, correlation coefficient

Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) and ERA-Interim forecast data analyzed using second-order autoregressive AR(2) and space-time-spectra analysis methods (respectively) revealed contrasting results for predicting Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO) and Convectively Coupled Equatorial Waves (CCEW) phenomena over Indonesia. This research used the same 13-year series of daily TRMM 3B42 V7 derived datasets and ERA-Interim reanalysis model datasets from the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) for precipitation forecasts. Three years (2016 to 2018) of the filtered 3B42 and ERA-Interim forecast data was then used to evaluate forecast accuracy by looking at correlation coefficients for forecast leads from day +1 through day +7. The results revealed that rainfall estimation data from 3B42 provides better results for the shorter forecast leads, particularly for MJO, equatorial Rossby (ER), mixed Rossby-gravity (MRG), and inertia-gravity phenomena in zonal wavenumber 1 (IG1), but gives poor correlation for Kelvin waves for all forecast leads. A consistent correlation for all waves was achieved from the filtered ERA-Interim precipitation forecast model, and although this was quite weak for the first forecast leads it did not reach a negative correlation in the later forecast leads except for IG1. Furthermore, Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) was also calculated to complement forecasting skills for both data sources, with the result that residual RMSE for the filtered ERA-Interim precipitation forecast was quite small during all forecast leads and for all wave types. These findings prove that the ERA-Interim precipitation forecast model remains an adequate precipitation model in the tropics for MJO and CCEW forecasting, specifically for Indonesia.

Ncep Global Forecast System

It is well documented that soil moisture has a strong impact on precipitation forecasts of numerical weather prediction models. Several microwave satellite soil moisture retrieval data products have also been available for applications. However, these observational data products have not been employed in any operational numerical weather or climate prediction models. In this study, a preliminary test of assimilating satellite soil moisture data products from the NOAA-NESDIS Soil Moisture Operational Product System (SMOPS) into the NOAA-NCEP Global Forecast System (GFS) is conducted. Using the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) introduced in recent year publications and implemented in the GFS, the multiple satellite blended daily global soil moisture data from SMOPS for the month of April 2012 are assimilated into the GFS. The forecasts of surface variables, anomaly correlations of isobar heights, and precipitation forecast skills of the GFS with and without the soil moisture data assimilation are assessed. The surface and deep layer soil moisture estimates of the GFS after the satellite soil moisture assimilation are found to have slightly better agreement with the ground soil moisture measurements at dozens of sites across the continental United States (CONUS). Forecasts of surface humidity and air temperature, 500 hPa height anomaly correlations, and the precipitation forecast skill demonstrated certain level of improvements after the soil moisture assimilation against those without the soil moisture assimilation. However, the methodology for the soil moisture data assimilation into operational GFS runs still requires further development efforts and tests.

Abstract Reliable weather forecasts are valuable in a number of applications, such as, agriculture, hydropower, and weather-related disease outbreaks. Global weather forecasts are widely used, but detailed evaluation over specific regions is paramount for users and operational centers to enhance the usability of forecasts and improve their accuracy. This study presents evaluation of the Global Forecast System (GFS) medium-range (1 day – 15 day) precipitation forecasts in the nine sub-basins of the Nile basin using NASA’s Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals (IMERG) “Final Run” satellite-gauge merged rainfall observations. The GFS products are available at a temporal resolution of 3-6 hours, spatial resolution of 0.25°, and its version-15 products are available since 12 June 2019. GFS forecasts are evaluated at a temporal scale of 1-15 days, spatial scale of 0.25° to all the way to the sub-basin scale, and for a period of one year (15 June 2019 – 15 June 2020). The results show that performance of the 1-day lead daily basin-averaged GFS forecast performance, as measured through the modified Kling-Gupta Efficiency (KGE), is poor (0 < KGE < 0.5) for most of the sub-basins. The factors contributing to the low performance are: (1) large overestimation bias in watersheds located in wet climate regimes in the northern hemispheres (Millennium watershed, Upper Atbara & Setit watershed, and Khashm El Gibra watershed), and (2) lower ability in capturing the temporal dynamics of watershed-averaged rainfall that have smaller watershed areas (Roseires at 14,110 sq. km and Sennar at 13,895 sq. km). GFS has better bias for watersheds located in the dry parts of the northern hemisphere or wet parts of the southern hemisphere, and better ability in capturing the temporal dynamics of watershed-average rainfall for large watershed areas. IMERG Early has better bias than GFS forecast for the Millennium watershed but still comparable and worse bias for the Upper Atbara & Setit, and Khashm El Gibra watersheds. The variation in the performance of the IMERG Early could be partly explained by the number of rain gauges used in the reference IMERG Final product, as 16 rain gauges were used for the Millennium watershed but only one rain gauge over each Upper Atbara & Setit, and Khashm El Gibra watershed. A simple climatological bias-correction of IMERG Early reduces in the bias in IMERG Early over most watersheds, but not all watersheds. We recommend exploring methods to increase the performance of GFS forecasts, including post-processing techniques through the use of both near-real-time and research-version satellite rainfall products.
