WORKSHOPS
AS74 Mini Tutorial for Ensemble Data Assimilation and the Data Assimilation Research TestbedWed-01 Jul 2020 | 08:30 – 10:30 | Tower B, Lavender II
| Conveners: | Soyoung HA, National Center for Atmospheric Research |

Data assimilation for an earth system model is the process of combining model
forecasts with observations to produce improved estimates of the model state.
Ensemble filter data assimilation algorithms use a set (ensemble) of model state
estimates to enable the assimilation process.
This session is designed to be a short course that provides a practical introduction to ensemble filters through a combination of lecture and interactive tutorials. Basic ensemble filter algorithms will be covered along with an overview of extensions required for successful application in large earth system models. The interactive tutorials use the algorithms that comprise the Data Assimilation Research Testbed (DART), a community software facility for ensemble filter data assimilation. DART can produce high-quality weather predictions but can also be used to build a comprehensive forecast system for any prediction model and observations. DART has been applied to NWP at scales ranging from sub-kilometer to global, but also to space weather, oceans, sea ice, terrestrial systems, hydrologic models, and many other earth system applications. Attendees will leave with a solid foundation that will allow them to explore using DART for existing models and observations. They will also have a basic understanding of what would be required to develop DART assimilation capabilities for new models or observations. Attendees can download the DART tutorials ahead of time onto their own laptops if they want to participate interactively during the session. |
AS75 Climate Prediction: Skills and Errors on Climate Drivers and Response, and Extremes
Thu-02 Jul 2020 | 08:30 – 12:45 | Tower B, Lavender II
| Conveners: | Hyung-Jin KIM, APEC Climate Center |
| Soo-Jin SOHN, APEC Climate Center | |

| There is a growing need in the scientific, operational and climate services communities in developing and utilizing high-quality climate predictions to provide early warnings of high-impact climate events and to take relevant proactive measures. The quality of climate predictions has been evaluated primarily with prediction skills on major climate variables and drivers at regional and global scales. Although such conventional assessment is served as an important guideline for the use of climate predictions, it is also crucial to validate sub-regional prediction skills of remote response and extremes to various climate drivers. In addition, systematic analysis of prediction errors helps improve our knowledge on local and regional climate predictability and, hence, develop indigenous prediction systems. The goal of this session is to discuss the current status of prediction skills and errors on climate drivers, teleconnections and associated climate response, and extremes with time scales of subsesonal, seasonal, inter-annual and beyond, and to address the window of opportunity for advancing climate predictions and techniques. |
