Workshop: Observational campaigns for better weather forecasts

Visualization is an important and ubiquitous tool in the daily work of atmospheric researchers to analyse data from simulations and observations, and field campaigns are no exception. Visualization techniques are applied during flight planning to analyse Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) output to perform weather forecasting under campaign-specific requirements, for example, to predict the...

Adjoint models can provide valuable insight into the practical limitations of our ability to predict weather systems, such as extratropical and tropical cyclones, and their associated high-impact weather. An adjoint model can be used for the efficient and rigorous computation of numerical weather prediction forecast sensitivity to changes in the initial state or an earlier point in the...
