das Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Here's your chance to hear about the future of the NCEP modelling suite from Dr. Lapenta. There's also a reception just before the talk celebrating the NOAA move to College Park. If you are an ASOC alum, you can also meet Dr. Lapenta afterwards although I've seen non UofMD mets crash the meet-the-speaker session pretty easily. Here's the abstract for the talk: The National Centers for Environmental Prediction, Environmental Modeling Center (NCEP/EMC) is developing significant improvements into NCEP’s operational forecast systems to increase both the scope and quality of NCEP’s products. Ranging from seasonal to interannual prediction and climate reanalysis to hourly rapid updates, NCEP/EMC has advanced the quality of its products and is ready to make further improvements through model enhancements and new computing resources. Forecast advances in global and regional atmospheric systems, real-time ocean and waves, hurricanes, air quality and hydrological applications will be described. Modernization of the NCEP production suite is underway with construction of a software framework compatible with the community-based Earth System Modeling Framework and development of ensemble-based postprocessing techniques for generation of probabilistic products. Work has begun on advanced data assimilation techniques and preparation for the advanced satellite and radar data is in progress. The seminar will provide an overview of the Environmental Modeling Center, a discussion on the current NCEP operational model suite and plans for the future. Here's the agenda: Thursday, August 30, 2012 Special Reception: Celebrate NOAA's moving! 3:00-3:30pm [CSS 2400 - Atrium] Seminar: 3:30-4:30pm [CSS 2400 - Auditorium] Meet-the-Speaker (**): 4:45-5:15pm [CSS 3400] And directions: http://aosc.umd.edu/directions.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
