The International Association of Cryospheric Sciences invites submission
of abstracts on cryospheric applications and research on data
assimilation for joint inter-association symposium JM4 on 28 June at the
IUGG 2015 General Assembly in Prague.
JM4 Data Assimilation in Geophysical Sciences (IAMAS, IAGA, IACS,
IASPEI, IAPSO, IAG)
Convener: William Lahoz, Kjeller, Norway (IAMAS)
Co-conveners: Alexandre Fournier, Paris, France (IAGA), Richard Essery,
Edinburgh, U.K. (IACS), Remy Bossu, Paris, France (IASPEI), Konstantin
Belyaev, Moscom, Russia (IAPSO), Han Shin-Chan, Greenbelt, USA (IAG),
Craig Bishop, Monterey, USA (IAMAS), Tomoko Matsuo, Boulder, USA (IAGA),
Jeffrey Walker, Melbourne, Australia (IAMAS), Laurent Bertino, Bergen,
Norway (IAPSO), Ian Fenty, Boston, USA (IAPSO)
Data assimilation integrates the wealth of data from both satellite and
in situ platforms to analyse the current and past state of the various
elements of the Earth System, such as the atmosphere, the ionosphere,
the ocean, the land and the cryosphere, forming the basis of improved
forecasts from the mesoscale to the global scale. Data assimilation also
plays a key role in efforts to couple the various elements of the Earth
System, and benefit from proper account of the interactions between the
elements of the Earth System. A key issue is the characterization of the
uncertainty in past, current and future state estimates in both coarse
and high resolution models.
The symposium provides a forum for presentation and discussion of the
latest research in data assimilation across the elements of the Earth
System. There will be a focus on three developments:
(i) characterization of errors;
(ii) application of data assimilation techniques to coupled elements of
the Earth System;
(iii) extension of data assimilation activities to smaller spatial
scales, notably for participatory sensing involving air quality and
weather observations.
We are therefore calling for presentations on data assimilation that
focus on any of these three developments from both operational
environments as well as explorative research applications.
Solicited speakers: Peter Jan van Leeuwen, U. Reading, UK; Marc Bocquet,
CEREA, ENPC, France.
This symposium will follow from Union Symposium U6.
Abstract submission deadline is 31 January 2015.
