Due to the ongoing pandemic, the Annual Seminar has changed to a virtual-only format. It will be held from 13th of September to 18th of September 2021.
The 2021 Annual Seminar on Observations will be held jointly with the
WCRP-WWRP Symposium on Data Assimilation and Reanalysis.
The Annual Seminar will provide an Earth System view of observations, identifying where the current global observing system is meeting new and existing Earth System requirements. How effectively the current observing system is being used for NWP and reanalysis will be explored, as well as consideration to gaps and how they may be addressed in the future. The seminar will consider science and technical issues common to observations across multiple components, and also issues specific to these components.
The seminar is part of ECMWF’s educational programme and is aimed at early career scientists as well as those who are more established in their field.
