Mini-ISWAT Virtual Meeting Series: G2A Atmosphere Variability,
22-26 February 2021
The Atmosphere Variability cluster is organizing a virtual meeting, one year after the ISWAT inaugural working meeting in Florida, to present progress made since and to discuss new actions and new collaborations.
The meeting will be organized in sessions of 2-3 hours duration per day. The 3 action teams will give updates, invited speakers will present recent developments pertaining to the G2a cluster, and we welcome contributions from all on topics that are on the cluster task list:
- Analysis, modeling, and prediction of the thermosphere
- Model assessment with standard score cards on CCMC
- Datasets for assimilation and assessment, and optimized exploitation (e.g., machine learning)
- Model drivers (solar EUV and geomagnetic activity measurements, wave activity from the lower atmosphere), and their forecast
- Satellite drag modeling (aerodynamic coefficient, shape model)
- Uncertainty assessment due to drag in orbit determination
