A joint workshop of the International Ice Charting Working Group (IICWG), the Year of Polar Prediction (YOPP – the flagship activity of the Polar Prediction Project by the World Weather Research Programme (WWRP)), GODAE Oceanview (GOV) and the Coordination & Support Action KEPLER by the European Commission.
17-19. Juni 2019 hosted by the Alfred Wegener Institute at Haus der Wissenschaft, Bremen, Germany
Objective: This workshop builds on a series of successful workshops organized by the IICWG Data Assimilation Working Group to advance international capabilities for automated sea ice analysis and prediction on timescales from hours to a season. In conjunction with the Year of Polar Prediction (YOPP) organized by the WWRP-PPP and GOV, a particular need has been identified regarding the development of more mature and meaningful methods for sea ice verification. The focus of the workshop is to discuss cross-cutting issues in sea ice modelling and data assimilation and how deficiencies of current systems can be more efficiently diagnosed and addressed.
General topics considered appropriate for this workshop include:
Organization: The workshop will be organized around presentations with ample time for discussion and a poster session.
Organizing Committee: Frank Kauker (AWI, OASys, KEPLER), Helge Goessling (AWI, PPP/YOPP, KEPLER), Laurent Bertino (NERSC, KEPLER), Mark Buehner (ECCC, IICWG-DAWG), Gilles Garric (MERCATOR OCEAN INTERNATIONAL, KEPLER), Leif Toudal Pedersen (eolab.dk, IICWG-DAWG, DTU, KEPLER), Lynn Pogson (ECCC) and Greg Smith (ECCC, PPP/YOPP, GOV).
Social Dinner: We will have a social dinner on Monday evening at the Schuettinger Gastbrauhaus, Hinter dem Schuetting 12-13, just 350m walking distance from the venue. We will meet there at 7:30pm.
