7. DATASET OVERVIEW
7.1 Abstract
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 Centerfor 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 CoordinatedEnergy and Water Cycle Observations Project (CEOP) and how they will interface/transfer the datathat 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 freerunning forecasts; (3) Operational versus reanalysis data; (4) the CEOP schedule/archive periods;

2(5) the number and locations of MOLTS sites; and (6) the homogenizing of the model output andmetadata formats (i.e. standard parameters).
Results up to this point in the CEOP model output generation effort make it clear that thetransfer 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. The
current data holdings in the MPIM archive can be viewed http://www.mad.zmaw.de/fileadmin/extern/
