Introduction
KMA introduced Korea Local Analysis and Prediction System (KLAPS) in 2006
KLAPS has been developed to enhance the rainfall forecast for the very short-range period (0~6hrs)
KLAPS consists of LAPS and WRF for the analysis and the forecast respectively
One of the characteristics of KLAPS is a diabatic initialization (DI) including analysis of clouds DI can improve the initiation and the evolution of rainfall (Shaw et al. 2001)
The cloud analysis, the first step for DI, has several parameters to rep-resent the initial cloud fields in DI
KMA optimized these parameters by adapting the Genetic Algorithm (GA) in 2009

Introduction – cont.
In the forecast model, microphysics affects directly on the forecast of rainfall KMA introduced the double moment microphysics, WDM6 in 2009 WDM6 predicts CCN, number concentration of clouds, and rain It requires 8% more computer resources However it is expected to improve the rainfall forecast
Other ingredients are also improved Landuse is updated to “mixed forest” at Korea Peninsular. Previously it
is mostly savanna. The observation from domestic airlines are also included in the analysis Mother domain of KLAPS, 15km resolution, adapted analysis FDDA in
2010

Fitness function
The function to be optimized (i.e., Fitness) is defined by using a QPF skill score, the equitable treat score (ETS) [Schaefer, 1990],
Fitness = ,
i
iETS 50,,2,1 i
RFMH
RHETS
where i is the precipitation threshold in mm. Here, the ETS is defined as:
H : hitsR : the expected number of hits in a random forecast (R=(H+M)(H+F)/N)F : false alarmsM : misses

Evolution of fitness function

The best fitness is stable as generation goes The mean fitness rapidly increases earlier generation and merges to the best fitness at later generation

Fitness for each parameter

X4 parameter (Radar)x3 parameter (St)
x1 and x4 converge at a narrow range of values, especially x1 x2 and x3 are less sensitive to the fitness

x1 (parameter for Cu) is the most sensitive variable to the rainfall forecast x4 (parameter for radar) is sensitive to the light rainfall forecast Though x1 is the most effective parameters to enhance ETS, the best result is achieved by the combination of all parameters

Summary and future plans
Tuned parameter x1 which determines the vertical velocity of cumulus cloud is the most sensitive to the rainfall forecast However the parameters are tuned using only one forecast. We will ap-
ply GA during one month period(July ‘11) to get stable parameters. Parameters in QG balance equation are also included in GA
WDM6 outperformed WSM6 for both light and heavy rainfall
The overall performance of rainfall forecast has increased since 2007 It is not only introducing DI and WDM6 but also adding more observa-
tion (quality controlled), updating precise surface conditions and model itself, etc.
Two items are preparing to insert into KLAPS Exploit COMS satellite. It takes less than 15 min. to get data around KP Improve the radar pre-processing: introduce fuzzy logic for QC, remove
hard-coded parameters related with coordinate conversion

Summary and future plans – cont.
However there are demands for more detailed forecast in both time and space
We are planning storm-scale ensemble forecast(SSEF) at the metropolitan area in 2015 It has1km resolution and provide 3hrs forecast at every 20 minutes It consists of 16 members by combining physical processes and initial
conditions Integrated network of instruments are deployed to get dense observa-
tion in space and time• Lightning detection (in-cloud, inter-cloud), celio-meters(21), ground GPS(21)
We are applying the preliminary version of SSEF to “trade fair” at Yusu in Korea in 2012.
