Workshop on Stochastic Parameterizations and Their Use in Data Assimilation (1-5 July)

Date : 1 st – 5th July 2019 Location: 402, 4th Floor, ICSM Building, South Kensington Campus, Exhibition Rd, Knightsbridge, London, SW7 2AZ

In this workshop we address the challenge of combining stochastic data-driven mathematical modelling with effective data assimilation techniques in high-dimensional operational systems. The aim of the event is to expose cutting-edge results in stochastic analysis and modelling with nonlinear filtering and data assimilation for applications in geophysical fluid dynamics. We seek to foster collaborations which could eventually bridge the gap between fundamental research in stochastic PDE analysis and data-driven operational methodologies.Scientific Committee : Colin Cotter, Dan Crisan, Darryl Holm, Wei Pan, Igor Shevchenko..Registration : please register here 

Organisers : Tom Bendall, Erwin Luesink, Oana Lang.The workshop is funded by the EPSRC Standard Grant EP/N023781/1.
