| Session Description | The past decade has made significant advances in data assimilation and ensemble prediction, significantly improving the atmospheric and oceanic prediction skill at various time scales. Great efforts are also made in coupled earth system data assimilation that uses a coupled earth system model to integrate the earth observing system, pursuing coherent and self-balanced state estimation and prediction initialization for earth system components such as the ocean, atmosphere, sea ice and land etc. This session welcomes all works in theory and application of data assimilation, ensemble prediction and coupled data assimilation. |
