The ECMWF/EUMETSAT NWP-SAF Workshop on the assimilation of IASI in NWP will be held from 6 to 8 May 2009.
Marking nearly two years since METOP-IASI data were first disseminated
to NWP centres, the workshop will consider the progress that has been
made in the exploitation of these unique hyper-spectral observations.
The methods that have been adopted to assimilate clear and cloud
affected radiances will be covered, in addition to novel techniques
based on the use of principal components and level-2 retrievals.
Reflecting the recent expansion of NWP systems to cover environmental
monitoring applications, the workshop will also deal with the
assimilation of atmospheric constituent information from IASI.
