Special Event, Friday, March 3, 2022 from 7-9h am UTC

Organizers and Conveners: Javier Amezcua, Lars Nerger, Nora Schenk, Tobias Necker, Zofia Stanley, James Taylor

Operational centres operate complex forecast systems and advance these systems by employing new developments in data assimilation methodology, observations, and models. This special ISDA-Online event invites two distinguished speakers from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) and the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). The speakers will present their operational system's current status and future perspectives, focusing on the data assimilation component.
