This workshop aims to build on a series of successful workshops by the IICWG Data Assimilation Working Group to advance international capabilities for sea ice prediction on timescales from hours to a season. The focus of the workshop is to discuss cross-cutting issues in sea ice modelling and assimilation and how deficiencies of current systems can be more efficiently diagnosed and addressed.
General topics considered appropriate for this workshop include:
- Sea ice observations and uncertainties
- Sea ice data assimilation (methods and results)
- Sea ice model parameterizations and coupling to ocean and atmosphere models
- Verification approaches for sea-ice analyses and forecasts
- Recent research to sea ice operation transfer
- Automated predictions systems
The workshop will be organized around a few keynote and contributed presentations with ample time for discussion. As the number of participants is limited, please provide a short abstract (or motivation for attending) in the registration form. As attendees are encouraged to make a contribution, please specify your preference for oral or poster presentation.
For this 10th event, the workshop will be held in Toulouse and Montréal simultaneously via video conferences facilities from 20-22 October, 2020. Participants are asked to mention in which place they will physically attend the workshop.
Deadline for abstract submission: 15 June 2020
