Comparisonof
LM Verification against Multi Level Aircraft Measurements (MLAs)with LM Verification against Temps
• by means of Time Series (June 2001 until May 2003) of monthly average of – bias and rmse of 00h, 24h, 48h Forecasts based on all MLAs/Temps in
LM area
– Variables are• temperature
• wind velocity
• wind direction

Multi Level Aircraft Measurementsare
• Several (not less than 4) single Aircraft Measurements during the climb or descent flight
• which are piecewise combined– beginning with the lowest
– next < 20 km horizontal distance of the first
– vertical distance < 55 hPa
– etc.
• and then used like a Temp Measurement

Summary
• Temperature Verification shows only few differences between the two measuring systems
• Wind Verification shows below 800 hPa great differences between the two measuring systems
• Regarding the Wind Verification results up to now (Synop, Temp) LM is more likely to underestimate wind velocity
• Regarding the verification against aircraft measurements it seems that aircraft measurements below 800 hPa underestimate wind velocity (up to 2 m/s in the boundary layer).
