Organised by: Department of Physics, University of Oxford, UK
Venue: ECMWF, Reading, UK.
10 - 12th June 2015.
OpenIFS
OpenIFS is an ECMWF project that provides an easy-to-use academic version of the IFS forecast model.
This user meeting brings together new, interested and established users of OpenIFS/IFS from Universities, National Met Services and other organisations.
Programme: Uncertainty in Numerical Weather Prediction
The theme for the workshop this year will be 'Uncertainty in NWP'.
Keynote presentation: Prof Tim Palmer, University of Oxford/ECMWF.
A more detailed programme will be available closer to the meeting date. This meeting, unlike previous workshops, is also an opportunity to visit ECMWF and learn more about our activities.
The programme will consist of presentations, training on OpenIFS for new users, practical sessions involving running ensembles and stochastic physics with OpenIFS and the single column model. The workshop will explore the various mathematical techniques in use for generating ensembles and understanding model uncertainty. There will also be training on the Metview visualisation and analysis desktop and other ECMWF tools.
The workshop will include social events and a tour of ECMWF facilities.
Contributions
We welcome presentations (oral and poster) on or related to NWP, IFS or OpenIFS.
Audience
The workshop is intended for those interested in or using OpenIFS and learning more about the model for ensemble modelling. We welcome new and existing users. The workshop is also a networking opportunity to meet with other scientists from across Europe interested in NWP and/or using IFS.
Please note that numbers are limited due to the size of the classroom at ECMWF. Early registration is recommended.
Venue
Please note this meeting will be held at ECMWF and not at the University of Oxford.
