• What observations are needed forimprovement?
• Where is the model physics lacking ?• How can the SOP observations be most
effectively used?• How can we make sure that this expensive
and hard-won data are used to improveour fundamental understanding of the WAM system?

8 of the 18 models do not capture the West African monsoon:
these models donot bring the precipitationmaximum ontothe continent

Main issues from the discussion
• Modelling intercomparison for improving the understanding of the WAM system
• Mean, variance, PDF• Diagnostics for relationship between model’s bias and
processes• AMIP runs to be compared• RegCM as tools for sensitivity analysis

The AMMA Model Intercomparison ProjectAMMA-MIP
Goals :- Evaluate global and regional climate models as for the representation ofthe west African monsoon (SEASONAL CYCLE – AEJ – AEW - CONVECTION)- Evaluate improvements coming from AMMA.- Make available outputs of some reference simulations to the AMMA community.
Do not duplicate AMIP or other programs.- more focussed- lighter- aimed to host different types of models.
2 parts :- AMMA-croos is dedicated to the study of the mean latitudinal structure ofthe monsoon. It is motivated by the relative “zonallity” of the WAM. The cros- section consists in zonal averages of model outputs (10E-10W).- AMMA-maps is dedicated to the study of synoptic dynamics (waves, onset, breaks, ...) and stationnary structures (orography, ocean/coninent, ...). 2D maps provided at a daily frequency.
2 years :2000 (Jet 200, dry) and 2003 (more recent and wetter). Extension to 2005 and 2006.

Contributions- 4 models did contribute (ARPEGE/CNRM, ECHAM4/ENEA, UCLA/UCM, LMDZ/IPSL)Among which- 2 models with ensemble simulations (6 and 9 members).- 1 model with 2 different vertical resolution- 1 model with 2 convection schemes.
- Outputs from regional climate models and chemistry transport models expected

Use GCMs and regional climate models (RCMs) to study the role of land-ocean-atmosphere interaction, SST variability, land-use and water-use change, vegetation dynamics, as well as aerosol, particularly dust, on WAM development.
(1) evaluate the performance of current GCMs
(2) identify common discrepancies
(3) to conduct sensitivity experiments to isolate important key physical processes on interannual and decadal time scales
(4) to demonstrate the utility and synergy of CEOP and AMMA field data in providing a pathway for model physics evaluation and improvement.

First activity:
Each GCM/RCM modeling group will carry out simulations for 4 selected years’ monsoon season (from April through October)
2000, 2003, 2004, and 2005, (each year with four initial conditions).The one dry year (2000) and one wet year (2003) coincide with AMMA’s GCM model comparison plans. The summers of 2004 and 2005 have AMMA observations.
GCMs: External forcing from the C20C database.
RCMs: External forcing from the C20C database; lateral boundary conditionsFrom reanalysis, UK Meto, NCEP GCM
Two types of simulation are requested:(1) Use the model “as is”(2) Adjust the model to improve the simulation of the WAM
