About

This workshop will focus on idealised models of (convective-scale) Numerical Weather Prediction and their use in data assimilation research. It is directed primarily at current and potential users of the 'modRSW' model developed by the organisers at the School of Mathematics, University of Leeds, and will comprise (i) research talks from participants and (ii) tutorials and working/discussion sessions.

Bringing together researchers who have shown interest in the modRSW model, we hope to offer an informal environment in which participants are given ample opportunity to discuss aspects of their research, how the model may be of use to them, and potential ideas for the future use of the model (and idealised models in general).

Details

The workshop will open at 9am on 16th and close after lunch at 2pm on the 17th May 2019, with dinner provided on the evening of the 16th.

Location

The workshop takes place in the School of Mathematics, University of Leeds, UK. How to find us. Accommodation details for external participants: ibis Leeds Centre Marlborough Street (10-15 minute from the School of Maths on foot). This is a 10-minute walk from Leeds train station, or a short taxi ride.
