Given the tremendous volume of observations, and the ever increasing resolution of numerical weather prediction models the need to incorporate information at a tremendous range of spatial/temporal scales requires advances in both the science and the computer science of data assimilation systems. This joint session will present talks that target the union of science and computer science, and how advances in both areas will improve the output of data assimilation systems.
Joint between the Third Symposium on High Performance Computing for Weather, Water, and Climate; and the 28th Conference on Weather Analysis and Forecasting / 24th Conference on Numerical Weather Prediction )
