Control State
Analysis
The operational CNMCA short-range ensemble prediction system is based on the
Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF) approach (Bonavita, Torrisi and Marcucci, 2008, 2010), for the data
assimilation component (estimation of the initial conditions), and the COSMO
regional model for the prognostic one.

The Ensemble Data Assimilation at CNMCA
Forecast Step
BG Forecasts
Actually only the assimilation is based on the
ensemble technique
The 40 + 1 forecast members are run up to 9
hours in order to produce the BG ensemble

Toward a probabilistic forecast system: the COSMO-ME EPS
The implementation of a short range EPS based on COSMO-ME is straightforward
“extending” the forecast members integration

A first implementation of COSMO-ME EPS has being tested at CNMCA in the framework of
MYWAVE project ( short range sea state EPS based on COSMO-ME EPS: NETTUNO EPS)
The main characteristics of COSMO-ME EPS are:
 Domain and resolution: COSMO model is integrated on the same domain of the CNMCA-LETKF
system.
 IC and BC: initial conditions are derived from the CNMCA-LETKF system. Lateral boundaries
conditions are from IFS deterministic run perturbed using ECMWF-EPS.
 Model error: stochastics physics perturbation tendencies will be evaluated.
 Forecast range: the 40+1 COSMO forecast members are running up to 48 hours in order to
produce the wind forecast to be given as input to the NETTUNO system at 00 UTC.

NETTUNO (Sea State) EPS
part of MYWAVE project
NETTUNO is a high resolution local scale wave forecast system operational in the
Mediterranean Sea based on the COSMO-ME and WAM models (In cooperation
with ISMAR-CNR of Venice)
The sea state probabilistic forecast is obtained driving the wave model using the
hourly COSMO-ME EPS wind forecast members
The NETTUNO-EPS consists of 40+1 members, that are integrated at 00 UTC up
to 48 hour forecast in the Mediterranean basin
