Host: Seventh Symposium on the Weather, Water, and Climate Enterprise
Moderator:
Dan Stillman, Harris Corporation, Melbourne, FL
Panelists:
Matt Lanza, Cheniere Energy, Houston, TX; Ross N. Hoffman, ESSIC UMD, Cambridge, MA; Thomas Auligné, Joint Center for Satellite Data Assimilation, Boulder, CO and Florence Rabier, Director General - European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), Reading, Berkshire
The weather enterprise has made tremendous progress in improving forecasts. Yet much work remains to consistently achieve the accuracy and lead time required to properly prepare for high-impact weather events. This panel will illustrate forecast successes and challenges; discuss the role of Observation System Simulation Experiments (OSSEs) in improving forecasts; highlight efforts to advance data assimilation; and provide an update on the latest developments in numerical weather prediction (NWP). The panelists will also suggest ways in which the community can better support these multidisciplinary efforts to improve weather forecasts.
