WP IPM1 COPS Coordination and management by COPS Project Office
IPM
Short description: At IPM, the collection and quality control of the data has been organized and shall be continued. The COPS coordinator organizes the COPS Project Office.
WP WDCC
Joint COPS-GOP-D-PHASE Data Archive WDCC
Short description: At WDCC the long-term data archiving, well founded user support and reliable maintenance of the common COPS/GOP, D-PHASE data archive shall be continued. Establishing a well-informed contact person at the data archive as direct support is a crucial advantage when handling this data collection in a joint project context.
A prerequisite of the success of COPS was the funding of dedicated staff for COPS coordination and the COPS data
archive, and the development of the COPS web site. WP IMK1 Maintenance and extension of COPS Website IMKShort description: The COPS website www.cops2007.de has been proven as a unique source of information about COPS IOPs. It provides easy access to key information such as forecasts and quicklooks of first results.

WP IPM 2: D-PHASE Process Chain
WP IPM2_1
Long-term evaluation of the model performance during COPS
IPM
Short description: In this coordinated action, the models of the D-PHASE ensemble are investigated concerning their long-term behavior during the COPS period. Different products from the project partners are collected and analyzed.
WP IPM2_2
Model performance during IOPs IPM
Short description: Detailed investigation of the model performance for selected IOPs by comparing with the COPS data set
WP IPM2_3
Detailed process studies with model subset IPM
Short description: In this WP the set of models selected in WP IPM2_2, forced with initial conditions as close to reality as possible, are used to evaluate the impact of the different assimilation and observing systems in the respective models. The emphasis is to reveal errors in the ABL, convection, and cloud physics parameterizations.

WP UV1 D-PHASE quality controlled and gridded data set UniVieShort description: The collected non-GTS data (only surface data are regarded) over the D-PHASE domain have to be quality controlled. This is an important preceding step for all further use of the data for any verification study. In a second step the data are gridded by using the VERA approach.
WP UniVie 2 (UV2): Verification of D-PHASE model ensemble
WP UV2_1
Definition of parameters and verification measures
UniVie
Short description: In cooperation with the project partners parameters to be verified and the verification measures are selected.
WP UV2_2
Set up of verification tools and test runs UniVie
Short description: The verification will be conducted on a grid point basis. VERA analyzed grid-point fields will be compared to the selected NWP model fields. Verification measures (defined in WP UV2_1) are calculated and displayed
WP UV2_3
Determination of verification measures for NWP model chain
UniVie
Short description: The verification tool developed in WP UV2_2 is applied to the selected NWP-models of comparable coarse- (10 to 20 km) and high-resolution models (< 10 km).

WP MS1 D-PHASE coordination and model evaluation MeteoSwissShort description: In this WP the coordination of this project with D-PHASE Project Office and model comparison studies are refined.
WP MS2 D-PHASE model verification refined MeteoSwissShort description: In this WP, new tools for model verification will be developed and tested.

New warning index:Probability to exceed a Return Period, PRP
Approach:- Use the model climatology to find a return level for a certain return period (for each grid point)- Find number of forecasts exceeding the return level- Give a probability to exceed the return level/period (PRP)(- Use Extreme Value Aanalysis for very rare events (e.g. fit of a GPD))
Syntax:PRPx = Probab. to exceed an event occurring with a return period according to the x-quantile
Example:PRP0.8 = event occurs every 5th day
