We invite contributions that present original scientific results, methodological innovations, applications, or perspectives aligned with the symposium topics:
- Methodology - DA theory and mathematics, ensemble approaches, non-linear and non-Gaussian DA, convective-scale and ultra-rapid DA, innovative approaches to reanalysis
- Observations - assimilation of remotely sensed observations (satellite, radar, GNSS, and unconventional observations), observations and impacts, OSSE, OSE
- Hybrid DA and ML - integration of ML to DA, hybrid DA and ML techniques, fully data-driven DA frameworks, predictability and uncertainty quantification for ML-based models, feedback from DA to ML
- DA infrastructure and center updates - developments in DA infrastructures (e.g., DART, JEDI, PDAF), updates from operational centers on DA, updates from global and regional reanalysis producers
- DA for the Earth system - atmosphere-land/ocean/sea ice coupled DA, atmospheric composition DA, seamless approaches - from minutes to seasons / multi-scale aspects, paleoclimate DA
- Broad Applications, Perspectives and Predictive Sciences - Contributions could for example address: digital twin and controllability, extreme events and high-impact weather in forecasting and reanalysis, renewable energy, hydrology, socio economic applications
