Topic: Land-Surface Data Assimilation

Friday, December 2, 2022 from 15-17 UTC

Organizers and Conveners: Patricia de Rosnay (ECMWF), Zofia Stanley (NOAA/CIRES, US)

Assimilation of land surface variables (including snow depth, soil moisture, soil temperature, and snow temperature) has been shown to improve forecasts of atmospheric surface fields in numerical weather prediction systems. We invite contributions on land-only DA and coupled land-atmosphere DA (with an emphasis on the impact of the land component) in global, regional, and idealized models.
