2018 Haurwitz Lecture

The Robert T. Ryan Symposium will conclude with a cocktail reception welcoming symposium attendees, along with Bob's numerous colleagues and former interns from across the weather enterprise. With a short program hosted by symposium co-chair and AMS Fellow Veronica Johnson of WJLA in Washington, D.C., this casual event will honor Bob for his distinguished career, achievements, and contributions to the American Meteorological Society.

In exoscale computing several challenges are likely to present themselves. These include coping with runtime failures and taking advantage of massive parallelism. This session will provide some illumination on techniques and tactics to overcome these and other challenges.

A number of regional and national real-time flood forecasting systems are emerging for a variety of different flood-related applications. These new systems are taking advantage of new national hydrologic data standards, new advances in supercomputing availability and improvements in model parameterizations and meteorological forcing datasets. This session encourages contributions from all sectors of the AMS enterprise (academic, government, and the private sector) who have built and deployed such systems. Additionally, contributions are welcome from researchers who have developed novel methodologies to sense and model flood generation dynamics at a variety of time and space scales. We are also seeking abstracts that focus on hydrological modeling systems which require, and utilize high performance computing (HPC) resources to improve the overall understanding and real-time prediction of hydrologic processes at all scales (land surface, aquifer, and stream/river flows) and their extremes (especially those with high impacts on society). Also In this session, interdisciplinary researchers, from meteorologists to engineers, are encouraged to demonstrate different methodologies and tools for better understanding the spatiotemporal characteristics of tropical cyclones (TCs) and improving risk-based analysis and real-time forecasts of the rainfall and/or storm surge associated with TCs. In addition, studies involving flood mitigation from the local- to regional-scale are invited given the increasing need for protection from such events. Research and application contributions from within the United States as well as internationally are also encouraged.
