Atmosphere Modeling Workshops 2022
The 2022 edition is dedicated to couplings at the ocean-atmosphere interface on the one hand and to the challenges of adapting to new computing architectures on the other hand.
The IYA 2022 will be held from June 7 to 10, 2022, at the International Conference Center of Météo-France in Toulouse.
Two themes are proposed :
- Couplings at the ocean-atmosphere interface (from 7 afternoon to 9 noon);
- the challenges of adapting to new computing architectures (from the 9th afternoon to the 10th noon).
The first theme, Couplings at the Ocean-Atmosphere Interface, focuses on the study of physical processes involving interactions between the atmosphere and different states of the ocean surface, the coastline at the global scale and the climate. IYA 2022 aims to review the current state of knowledge by establishing how modeling tools and observation characterize ocean-atmosphere interactions, and to understand how exchanges between the atmosphere, the surface and deep ocean, waves, riverine inputs, and sea ice affect atmospheric evolution at different scales and sea surface properties, such as its roughness or color, level, heat, freshwater, momentum, or greenhouse gas emissions.
Presentations on the following topics will be particularly welcome: marine surface observations, atmospheric and oceanic boundary layer measurements and representations, turbulent surface fluxes and parameterization, ocean/wave/atmosphere data assimilation, marine forecasting, coastal dynamics including tides and shoreline deformations (shoals, coastal flooding, foreshore), intense events including tropical cyclones, coupling in polar regions and sea ice, interactions between coupled and cloudy processes, marine chemistry and aerosols.
In addition, presentations on new developments are encouraged, including for example the description of new coupling strategies through the use of innovative numerical methods, the use of nested modeling or variable refined horizontal grids.
The second theme, Challenges in adapting to new computing architectures, focuses on the challenges of adapting to new computing architectures. Presentations on the following topics are welcome:
- new computing and memory technologies ;
- examples of adaptation of modeling or data assimilation code, in particular to processors with gas pedals;
- design, use and long-term evolution of "domain specific languages" (DSLs), and positioning with respect to more classical compilers and scientific function libraries;
- approximation of algorithms by deep learning methods, and positioning in intensive scientific computing;
- implications of these developments on the balance of functions between research on geophysical or environmental issues, research in computational engineering, and their impact on the organization of teams, laboratories and projects.
During the workshops, the André Prud'homme 2022 Prize will be officially awarded by Météo et Climat to Alex Ayet for his thesis defended on September 9, 2020 at the University of Western Brittany and entitled "Flux of momentum at the air-sea interface: theoretical approach to the coupling between turbulence and wind waves.
Authors have the opportunity to present their work - preferably in French - in the form of a 15 or 20 minutes talk during thematic plenary sessions or as posters during a poster session.
Short abstracts must be submitted by April 3, 2022 (registration/abstracts tab).
At the end of the workshops, the written materials of the papers (abstracts, presentations and posters) will be published on this website, unless the authors advise otherwise.
Registration to the workshops is mandatory for all participants before May 20, 2022.
Access to the Meteopole site is restricted for external participants.
