PRESENTER: Marcela Ulate, CPAESS Project Scientist, Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) TITLE: Impact of Stochastic Kinetic Energy Backscatter Scheme on the Navy Earth System Prediction Capability (Navy ESPC) in predicting the Madden Julian Oscillation during 2017 Summary: Hear about the role of the Stochastic Kinetic Energy Backscatter (SKEB) on The Navy Earth System Prediction Capability (Navy ESPC) for the prediction of the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO). General ensemble and MJO statistics will be shown to show the changes with and without SKEB in forecasts of the MJO during 2017. How we try to understand how these changes produced by SKEB in the atmosphere are correlated to changes in the ocean. The Cooperative Programs for the Advancement of Earth System Science (CPAESS—pronounced: see-pass) is a UCAR Community Programs (UCP) division at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR). UCAR manages the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). Our administrative office is located in Boulder, Colorado, USA. CPAESS was created in February 2016, from the merger of two long-established and successful programs: the Joint Office of Science Support (JOSS) and the Visiting Scientist Programs (VSP). CPAESS is providing an extensive portfolio of organization and management services for the broad Earth science community. Our vision and mission complement and mirror the vision and mission of UCAR, including UCP and NCAR. We are collectively working towards the advancement of scientific research for the benefit of society.
