Resumen
By considering the uncertainties in the initial field, model physical processes, and lateral boundary conditions, the Shanghai Weather And Risk Model System-Ensemble Prediction System (SWARMS-EN) is constructed. According to the prediction results of typhoon Muifa (2022), the daily track error of SWARMS-EN within 5 days is 70.6 km, 142.2 km, 129.1 km, 174.5 km, and 203.5 km, respectively. When compared with the Typhoon Ensemble Data Assimilation and Prediction System (TEDAPS) and the Global Ensemble Forecast System (GEFS) of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) in homogeneous conditions, SWARMS-EN performs better than TEDAPS within 72 h and better than GEFS beyond 72 h in track forecasting. This indicates an improvement in forecasting accuracy. The ensemble spread within two days is less than the root mean square error (RMSE), according to an analysis of the relationship between ensemble RMSE and spread, which shows that SWARMS-EN has no apparent systematic bias overall. The system has improved the ensemble RMSE and spread, indicating that it can better represent the uncertainty of the forecast and produce more reliable forecasts. Additionally, SWARMS-EN provides the landfall forecast five days in advance. The ensemble-based analysis suggests that the large-scale circulation is the primary factor contributing to the forecast differences among members, and the strong steering flow provides an indication of the landfalling forecast. The analysis of the ensemble characteristics of the initial field indicates that the initial perturbation between the wind field and the temperature field in the dynamically unstable region (such as near a tropical cyclone) exhibits flow dependence, and the small perturbation shows continuity throughout the entire troposphere. The distribution of ensemble spread and disturbance energy exhibited a reasonable growth stage as the forecast lead time increased. Disturbance internal energy dominated the lower troposphere, while the upper troposphere was mainly characterized by disturbance kinetic energy. Disturbance kinetic energy played a leading role in the evolution process. This conclusion further confirms the importance of paying attention to the initial small perturbations near TC in order to optimize the initial perturbation.
