Hi all,

This coming Friday at 3:00 PM, we will have this semester's last colloquium:

Speaker: Dr. Cory Barton, Space Science Division, U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, D.C.

Title: From Ground to Space: Challenges in New Frontiers of Numerical Weather Prediction

Abstract: Numerical weather prediction (NWP) has grown considerably from its humble beginnings decades ago. Current state-of-the-art NWP models routinely produce skillful global forecasts at high resolution thanks to advances in computational fluid dynamics, understanding of physical meteorological processes, and availability of supercomputing resources. These advances have led many prediction centers worldwide to stretch the boundaries of their systems and begin exercising these models in spatial and temporal domains outside those of traditional NWP. One such system is the Navy Global Environmental Model (NAVGEM), which delivers operational tropospheric weather forecasts for the U.S. Navy. Recent development has provided a configuration of NAVGEM that leverages new scientific and computing capabilities to deliver long-range seasonal forecasts up to 100 km in altitude. A prototype research configuration is also in development that extends this capability even further to deliver space weather forecasts of the thermosphere up to 500 km in altitude. This presentation will review uncovered challenges in long-range and space weather prediction and describe novel strategies in evolving NAVGEM from a global NWP model into a whole atmosphere prediction system.

Location: EOAS 1050
