Projects

• HIRLAM-A research programme 2006-2010
  • The improvement of the quality and usefulness of the HIRLAM weather forecast model, e.g. by means of developing better physical parametrization techniques
  • The development of mesoscale versions of HIRLAM (at approx. 2km horizontal resolution)
  • Assimilation of high resolution remote sensing observations from space (scatterometer, ATOVS) and from the surface (Doppler radar wind, wind profilers, GPS) in HIRLAM
  • Assessment and optimization of short-range probabnilistic forecasts based on limited area model ensembles (project SWITCHfc)
  • Use of radar data in numerical weather prediction and hydrological modells: project COST-717
• Nowcasting en very short term (<12h ahead) prediction methods
  • Development of nowcasting methods for severe weather (wind gusts, strong convection, thunderstorms, hail, fog)
  • Development of automated very short term predictions for aviation meteorology: projects AUTOTAF and AUTOTREND
  • Development of so-called downscaling methods by which HIRLAM wind and temperature fields can be transformed to horizontal scales of approximately 1km.
  • improvement of the analyses and forecasts of precipitation, by means of the calibration and advection of radar images.
• Air pollution dispersion modelling
  • the dispersion models CALM (for the Netherlands) and PUFF (for Europe)
  • Assessment and comparison of European dispersion models: project ENSEMBLE
