J5 Integration of Observational Data in Forecasting and Numerical Weather Prediction Simulations

Tuesday, 14 January 2025: 8:30 AM-10:00 AM
348 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)
Hosts: (Joint between the 25th Symposium on Meteorological Observation and Instrumentation; and the 33rd Conference on Weather Analysis and Forecasting (WAF)/29th Conference on Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) )
Chair:
Michelle Rose Storm
CoChair:
Temple R. Lee, NOAA ATDD and CIMMS, Oak Ridge, TN

This joint session topic is focused on the integration of additional observational data (i.e. ground-based measurements, remote sensing, UAS, etc) in forecasting and numerical weather prediction (NWP) simulations. Instrumentation advancements have increased capabilities for enhanced observations and the ability for deployment in targeted field campaigns. Recent work has been done to assimilate these additional observations into NWP simulations. This session is to highlight those recent works and aims to share information on the benefits/pitfalls of integrating additional data, impacts to forecasting decisions, and comparisons of simulations with and without additional data.
