The detailed agenda for the DA-TT meeting can be downloaded from this page. Please find poster information enclosed at the end of the agenda.

A general agenda overview for all 3 meeting days is provided below:

The workshop will be structured around the following themes:

2. Error covariance modelling (B, Q and R, hybrid approaches)
3. Observing systems: requirements, evaluation, design and associated DA developments
4. Software infrastructure and efficient use of DA on HPCs
5. Coupled Earth system DA (e.g., ocean/atmosphere/sea-ice, physics/biogeochemistry, physics/acoustics)
6. Applications of DA in operational forecasting, reanalysis systems, digital twins and climate prediction. 

Abstracts that address any of the following topics will be particularly welcomed:

1. Data assimilation developments for global, regional and coastal systems
2. Ensembles methods: their generation, assessment, and use in data assimilation
3. Algorithm development in support of data assimilation
4. Hybrid data assimilation methods
5. Coupled earth system data assimilation
6. Use of novel observations and improved use of existing observations
7. Model error
8. Forecast error covariance estimation and representation in DA
9. Correlated observation errors.
10. Application of machine learning to DA
11. DA software infrastructure

Registration and abstract submission for the DA-TT meeting in Rome is now CLOSED.

Registration and abstract submission for the DA-TT meeting are both done through the form below. If you only want to register but not submit an abstract, just leave the respective submission form part blank.

We do not expect to charge a registration fee and costs for breaks and lunch will be kindly covered by the meeting host CNR. We plan to have a workshop dinner which will be paid for by participants.

The workshop will take place over 3 days.

The meeting will be an in-person event with presentations recorded and made available afterwards.

Oral presentations

The meeting will consist of oral presentations selected through the abstract submission process and organised by the themes listed below.

–         Please remember to keep within the 15 min talk + 5 min questions. It is important to allow everyone time for their talks and for discussion

–         Please try to address the three discussion topics in your presentations where possible/appropriate. Check topics on overview page here: https://oceanpredict.org/events/da-tt-meeting/#event-overview-and-meeting-objectives

–         We are planning to record all presentations and put them on the website after the meeting. Please let us know if you DO NOT agree to this.

Posters

Poster presentations will also be included with dedicated poster sessions.

Please provide posters in A0 size and portrait format. If you like to print the poster in Rome there are some copy shops near CNR:  https://www.copynetshop.it/, https://www.wardagsanlorenzo.it/ or https://www.instagram.com/tuttografica_sanlorenzo/.

The overarching discussion points are listed on the meeting objectives tab.

All submitted abstracts can be viewed in full in this document.

All abstract titles and presenters are listed in the table below.

Recorded meeting presentations are available via YouTube. Please visit the Agenda & recording tab.

The meeting is primarily intended for participation by DA-TT members, the wider OceanPredict community and other experts in ocean and coupled DA, machine learning, ocean forecasting and reanalysis. Junior scientists and graduate students are also encouraged to attend.

Actual attendance tbc

• 9-11 May 2023
• Task Team meeting
• CNR, Rome, Italy

The workshop will be held at the CNR headquarters in central Rome (piazzale Aldo Moro, see more information at https://www.cnr.it/en/reach-headquarters  ; location visible at https://www.google.com/maps/place/Piazzale+Aldo+Moro,+00185+Roma+RM). CNR headquarters are close to the main University campus (“La Sapienza”), not far from the main railway station “Roma Termini” and the student neighborhood San Lorenzo.

There are plenty of options for accommodation nearby. Lunches are expected to be offered by the local organizers, while dinner is at everyone’s expense.

Dinner information

We have reserved a restaurant called Pancrazio (https://www.ristorantepancrazio.it/) on day 2 of the meeting, 10 May 2023. The restaurant is located in the centre of Rome, a few steps from Campo de’ Fiori, on the remains of the Theater of Pompey. We negotiated a per person cost of 55 Euros for the dinner (3-course meal, drinks included, self-pay at restaurant). The first course and dessert are non-meat based, while the main course would be meat, which can be replaced with a vegetarian alternative if wanted. We will collect numbers of how many will take part in the dinner on day 1 of the meeting (9 May 2023).
