“Data
assimilation and ensemble forecasting for weather and climate”
Organisers: IAMAS (ICDM,
ICMA), IAPSO, IAHS, IAGA, IACS
Lead Convenor: William Lahoz (Norway)
Co-convenors: Craig Bishop (United States of America),
Mu Mu (China), Michele Rienecker
(United States of America), Jeffrey Walker (Australia), Tomoko Matsuo (United
States of America), Ian Fenty (United States of
America)
Scope: The session will provide a forum for presentation and discussion
of the latest research in data assimilation and ensemble forecasting. The
effectiveness of data assimilation and ensemble forecasting is inextricably
linked to our ability to estimate the distribution of truth given limited
information. Given imperfect and sparse observations together with an
imperfect forecasting system, data assimilation focuses on estimating the
distribution of current and past states while ensemble forecasting strives
for the distribution of future states. Data assimilation schemes need an
estimate of the distribution of truth given a short term
forecast – a key objective of ensemble forecasting. The intertwining of
the aims of data assimilation and ensemble forecasting makes it likely that
data assimilation experts can help ensemble forecasting experts and
vice-versa. We are calling for presentations of outstanding research in data
assimilation and ensemble forecasting. Particular data assimilation topics
include:
- Advanced
assimilation methods, including hybrid variational and
ensemble-based approaches, weak constraint 4D-VAR and model
error estimation;
- Improved
use of observations: observing system experiments and
observing system simulation experiments, adaptive observing
methods, calculation of observation sensitivities;
- Assimilation
of data from new satellite instruments, such as COSMIC,
CloudSat, IASI, SMOS, Aquarius
and ADM-Aeolus;
- Space
Weather, including applications to the heliosphere,
the magnetosphere, and the ionosphere-thermosphere
system;
- Polar
assimilation: exploiting the considerable data collected during the IPY and subsequently via the Arctic
Observing Network.
Contributions on ensemble forecasting for short, medium, seasonal and
climate time scales are all welcome. Specific sub-topics include:
- improved methods for initializing ensemble forecasts,
- estimation and representation of model error, and
- ensemble post-processing to optimize the value of
probabilistic forecasts to decision makers.
Keywords: observations, satellite
data, advanced methods, decision makers
Review: All contributed abstracts will
be reviewed by the convenors
Options: Accepted abstracts will be
presented as either oral or posters as determined by the convenors.
