AICS International Workshop on Data Assimilation 2013

RIKEN Advanced Institute for Computational Science (AICS), Kobe, Japan
Registration has been closed
Call for papers: JMSJ Special Edition on AICS International Workshop on Data Assimilation
Data Assimilation (DA) is a cross-disciplinary science to synergize numerical simulations and observational data, using statistical methods and applied mathematics. DA has long been playing a crucial role in numerical weather prediction (NWP), and recently, DA started to be applied more widely to numerical simulations beyond geophysical applications, such as planetary science and biological science. Contemporary fundamental challenges include better treatment of nonlinear and multi-scale system evolution, complex observation operators, and variables with non-Gaussian probability density functions. Developing efficient computational algorithms has also been a major issue
The goal of this workshop is to enhance creative discussions among leading scientists in wide fields of theoretical and applied data assimilation. Invited presentations will focus mainly on atmospheric applications (NWP and chemical constituents), but contributions from all aspects of data assimilation research are welcomed. The topics covered in this workshop include (but not limited to):
- Theoretical challenges, e.g., treatment to nonlinearity and non-Gaussianity
- Convective-scale applications for heavy rainfall forecasts
- Applications for aerosols and chemical constituents
- Better use of satellite data and other new types of observations
- Multi-surface and multi-scale treatments
- Wide applications beyond geophysical science
RIKEN Advanced Institute for Computational Science (AICS) has launched the Data Assimilation Research Team in October, 2012, to enhance high-performance computational studies by integrating with observations of the Nature. This is the first international workshop on data assimilation at AICS. Your kind and warm consideration on participation is the key to success of this workshop and is greatly appreciated.
