Workshop: Stratospheric predictability and impact on the troposphere

ECMWF | Reading | 18-21 November 2019

#StratosphericWS

This workshop brought together experts to discuss and propose ways forward in representing the stratosphere in current and future numerical weather prediction models (1-50 km resolution, forecast lead times from medium-range to seasonal), and pathways by which better treatment of the stratosphere can improve predictive skill in the troposphere. The topics  included understanding and diagnosing stratosphere-troposphere interactions, improved parametrizations and numerical schemes, the role of water vapour and ozone, observational evaluation and data assimilation. The aim of the workshop was to provide guidance to ECMWF on the priorities for representing the stratosphere in the coming decade.
