Seminar Series: Data Assimilation in the Numerical Weather Predication Model
May 16, 2024 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm EDT
Seminar by Dr. Brian Karpowicz on Thursday May 16, 2024 at 1pm.
The seminar will focus on data assimilation in the Numerical Weather Prediction Model.
Venue: Grove School of Engineering
Location: ST-513 (in-person)
Time: 1:00pm
Date: May 16, 2024 (Thursday)
Virtual: zoom link
Dr. Karpowicz is a Senior Scientist at NASA Goddard Earth Sciences Technology and Research.
Abstract:
Data assimilation is a key part of Numerical weather prediction as it uses a global suite of observations including airborne, ground based, and satellite observations to providing the best initial conditions for weather forecast models to predict weather. A brief overview of how satellite observations are assessed in data assimilation experiments will be presented. Additionally, examples will be given of future potential student projects using NASA and NOAA missions. Finally, key skills needed for properly preparing students for success will be discussed.
