Forecasting the Weather
Co-organized by HS13/NP5
Convener: Yong Wang | Co-conveners: Aitor Atencia, Lesley De Cruz, Daniele Nerini, Monika Feldmann

Forecasting the weather, in particular severe and extreme weather, remains an important subject in meteorology. This session highlights recent research and advancements in forecasting methods, with a strong emphasis on AI-based methods and their integration into operational and impact-oriented forecasting systems. We welcome contributions that explore applications in nowcasting, mesoscale and convection permitting modelling, ensemble prediction, and seamless approaches that optimally integrate multiple forecast sources.

Topics may include:

• Data-driven forecasting, including ensemble methods, across global, regional and local scales
• Integration of data-driven models within data assimilation algorithms
• Operational workflows: implementation, monitoring, versioning of data and models, data, training, and inference pipelines
• AI-driven nowcasting methods and systems utilizing observational data and weather analysis
• Enhancement of mesoscale and convection-permitting models through AI techniques
• Application of novel remote sensing technologies in data assimilation processes
• Utilization of ensemble prediction techniques for improved forecasting
• Development of ensemble-based products for severe/extreme weather forecasting
• Seamless deterministic and probabilistic forecast prediction in data-driven, statistical, numerical and data-blending approaches
• Post-processing techniques, statistical methods in prediction
• Impact-oriented weather forecasting
• Presentation of results from relevant international research projects of EU, WMO, and EUMETNET etc.
