The goal of this workshop is to motivate and better understand
data assimilation through the science of the middle atmosphere.
Data assimilation requires a knowledge of measurement and model
errors which, in turn, require knowledge of the true underlying
system- the middle atmosphere. Therefore, advancement of assimilation
techniques requires interaction of assimilators with dynamicists,
chemists and users of assimilation products. Thus, this workshop
aims to bring these various groups together.
Scientific Program
The goals of SPARC workshops are:
1) to gather experts and summarize the state of the art in a particular
area,
2) to identify outstanding issues,
3) to organize activities under the SPARC umbrella to address
outstanding issues,
4) to report on progress in these activities to the SPARC Scientific
Steering Group (SSG),
5) to provide advice or recommendations to the SPARC SSG, if necessary.
In order to achieve these goals, it is necessary and important
to schedule discussions during the program. It is hoped that all
participants will not only attend but actively participate in these
discussions. Additionally, all oral presentations should allow for
5-10 minutes of questions and discussion.
Posters will be shown during the Workshop. There will be a number
of long coffee breaks and lunches to ensure sufficient time to visit
posters and talk to the authors.
Experts will be invited to speak on issues of assimilated products
and help focus discussions in these areas:
• International Polar Year (IPY): Gloria Manney
• Stratosphere-Troposphere coupling: Mark Baldwin, Adam
Scaife
• the Mesosphere: Charles McLandress
