Topic: Verification and Diagnostics for Data Assimilation

Friday, July 05, 2024 from 7-9h UTC

Organizers and Conveners: In-Hyuk Kwon (KIAPS, Korea), Olaf Stiller (DWD, Germany), Nabir Mamnun (Mercator Ocean International, France), Lars Nerger (AWI, Germany)

When applying DA, the verification of its outcome is of prime importance. With ensemble methods in DA, this implies to also access the performance of the whole ensemble. Aspects are for example the representative of the ensemble, the skill of the DA to incorporate the observational information in a multivariate way and its ability to produce skillful forecasts initialized from the analysis. For this event, we invite contributions on all types of diagnostic and verification methods and their application in DA.
