Consolidation of the software for the generation of External Parameters and

extension with new raw data sets

Hermann Asensio

Task 2: Tools – Software for generating external parameters

• Write software requirements specification;evaluate existing tools (DWD, PEP by CLM-community, fieldextra by

MeteoSwiss) choose a solution

• Consolidate tools to retrieve data from DWD database

• Create/consolidate software to process raw data, as defined in first bullet(interface with raw data, look-up table, aggregation on user defined grid, GRIB and NetCDF output, …)

• Create and deploy a reference system at DWD, accessible through a Web interface (using consolidated look-up tables defined in task 4)

• Write technical documentation

Tasks

Task 3: Revision of external parameters

Task 3.1: Document available data

Task 3.2: Consolidate and extend database

Add seasonal climatology of vegetation characteristics. Add parameters for subscale orography. Add parameters for orographic radiation correction. Add parameters for urban fraction. Add parameters for deep soil temperature. Add parameters for FLake. Provide alternative sets of soil types in Europe. Address the feasibility of deriving surface characteristics with known deficiencies (e.g. solar albedo) using alternative data sources or methods.

Software for the generation of External Parameters (COLBOC Task 2): technical development new software code basis (Fortran 2003 standard) according to the software

requirement specifications, current Version “EXTPAR V1_5”

technical documentation with doxygen as Website(HTML generated with the help of “tags” from comments in the Fortran source code)

user guide available

NetCDF as basic file format for Input/Output

GRIB output with ECMWF “GRIB_API”

Caveats

The external parameters are only as good as the available raw data sets.
