Combining high-resolution
numerical weather predictions
with human expertise for
localized weather forecasts

To be the best one must have
- Reactivity
- Consistency
- High resolution
- Quality
- Many wx parameters
- Top scientific level

Data4WEB’s goal and underlying
principle
Goal: feed MeteoSwiss website with high resolution temporal
and spatial data.
Underlying Principle : man-machine mix to get the best of
the two worlds:
• Model’s high resolution
• Forecaster’s reactivity and local expertise.

Modified or DMO
gridded forecast
Gridded analyses
6 EMS 4–8 September 2017 | Dublin, Ireland MeteoSwiss
Reactivity
• Rapid update cycle 30 min. Most recent model runs but also last
forecaster’s modification.
• Automatic measurement integration through INCA (nowcasting
system).
7 EMS 4–8 September 2017 | Dublin, Ireland MeteoSwiss
Consistency
Production of coherent forecasts
• Forecasts supervised by a single person
• Single point forecast source
• Consistency with present weather and active warnings
• Coherence with mobilephone app animations : based one the
same source

High resolution
Spatial and temporal pattern from high resolution models
reproduced
Downscaling of forecaster supervision with IFS (9 km), COSMO-E
(2km) and COMSO-1 (1km).
Adjusting high-resolution NWP ensemble prediction (COSMO-E) with
regionally and temporally aggregated estimate by forecaster (prototype
Adjusting high-resolution NWP (COSMO-E median) with regionally aggregated estimate by
forecaster
9 EMS 4–8 September 2017 | Dublin, Ireland MeteoSwiss
Quality
Full verification (models, forecasters, final products)
- Allows process improvement

Many parameters
Mosted desired parameter is the pictogram. But a high demand
exists for addional parameters.
data4WEB ensure consistency between parameters;
• Pictograms, temperature and dispersion, precipitation and dispersion
• Wind, precipitation probability, wind and temperature in free atmosphere,
sunshine, confidence index, stratus’ top, and soon road surface forecast
COSMO-1 COSMO-E (median) IFS-ENS (median)

High scientific level
data4WEB system built on high level science
• Measurement integration through INCA (2D-analyse and
