I have just come back from the European Meteorological Society 2017 conference in Dublin, where I was co-convenor for a session on Data Assimilation. It’s theme was Serving Society with better Weather and Climate Information. A key challenge for the meteorological communities is how best to harness the wealth of data now available – both observational and modelled – to generate and communicate effectively relevant, tailored and timely information ensuring the highest quality support to users’ decision-making. The conference produced some highlight videos that sum up the activities better than I could!
