5th WMO Symposium on the Assimilation of Observations for Meteorology, Oceanography and Hydrology

October 5, 2009

--

The goals of the Fifth Symposium are:

• To assess recent progress in all aspects of atmospheric, oceanographic and hydrological data assimilation, in both research and operational environments; and
  
• To reach a common understanding of the main challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in atmospheric, oceanographic data assimilation.

Contributions will be sought for oral and poster presentations on state-of-the-art research and operational developments in atmospheric,  oceanographic and hydrological data assimilation.

The emphasis is on atmospheric and oceanic circulation, from global scale to mesoscale, all aspects of the Earth's climate system will be considered, in particular the continental biosphere, stratospheric and tropospheric chemistry, and ocean biogeochemistry.

Invited papers will give overviews of problems, progress and prospects in key areas.
There is an emphasises on data assimilation of observations into dynamical models.
