Workshop

Uncertainties in Climate and Weather Predictions
From Modeling to Visualization

Informations

This is a public event and participation is free of charge.

Seats are limited, so we kindly ask those interested in participating to register here.

The workshop is followed by a small reception.

Predicting the complex and chaotic dynamics of extreme weather events and climate systems is among the most important as well as challenging problems in the scientific community. Quantifying uncertainties in models and the effect of initial and boundary conditions play a crucial role in achieving accurate representation of the weather and climate systems.

This workshop focuses on the uncertainties in modeling and visualization of climate and extreme weather systems that are at the forefront of current and future atmospheric and climate science developments. A unique venue is provided to bring together atmospheric scientists, applied mathematicians and computer scientists to highlight the recent advances and challenges in modeling, simulation and visualization. Topics will include: (1) climate projections; (2) atmospheric dynamics; (3) visualization of high-resolution extreme weather simulations and big data.
