Call for agenda items for next working group meeting (#3)

We don’t have a speaker/presenter lined up for our next meeting so the agenda is very open. ATM this is what we have:

  • Update on ACCESS-NRI workshop community WG sessions
  • Ancillaries and static files update (Nathan)

Please reply if you’d like to suggest leading a discussion for the forecasting and prediction working group.

If you think we should still meet please ‘Like’ this post :slight_smile:

Hi all

We are running a 1-day workshop following the main ACCESS-NRI workshop.

TOPIC: Machine learning for modelling and prediction
WHEN: Thurs 7 September; 9:30 AM - 4:00 PM
WHERE: Canberra or online

The day will provide a brief introduction to ML, explore recent progress in the application of ML in modelling and prediction, and include a discussion session on key issues and future opportunities. This session is open to all, and no prior experience with, or knowledge of ML is required.

Register now (before 20 August). More details are provided in the registration link.

Membership of the Forecasting and Prediction WG is not required for attendance. Feel free to circulate the announcement.

Reminder to register by the end of this week for the Machine learning for modelling and prediction FPWG Workshop.

Note that this is a separate registration link from the main ACCESS-NRI workshop.

Register here.

We are looking forward to the FPWG Workshop next week Thursday (online and in Canberra) on Machine learning for modelling and prediction.

If you cannot attend the workshop, you are very welcome to include your thoughts on our Discussion Jamboard. We will be using the Jamboard to share and discuss ideas.

Our main topics of discussion are:

  • ML research interests and collaboration opportunities
  • How can ACCESS-NRI support (data, software, infrastructure, resources/info/guides)?
  • How can we better coordinate across the community?
  • Increasing ML research transparency, increasing collaboration and open source code
    
 but there is also a page for any other questions/issues.

The link to the Jamboard is live and we encourage anyone to add their ideas/thoughts at anytime — prior or during the workshop. Apart from facilitating our discussion session, we hope that it will be a useful resource for capturing information and will contribute to informing the outcomes of the workshop.

Please find below the program for today’s Forecasting and Prediction Working Group workshop:

Reminder: Shared ESM/F&P Working Group Meeting

This is a reminder the next ESM/F&P Shared Working Group meeting is on tomorrow, Thursday 29th of February at 1:00pm (2024-02-29T02:00:00Z).

This is a shared meeting between the ESM Working Group and the Forecasting and Prediction Working Group. The meeting will be split into two sections, the first covering the shared material, and the second dealing with ESM specific items, which all are welcome to stay for, but we also understand if F&P folks prefer to leave at that point.

Connection details

Zoom: Launch meeting

Agenda:

Shared Section

1. Introductions from each group

Introductions from each group to give a brief overview of aims and activities.

2. Triple La Niña experiment

Introduce the Triple La Niña experiment that was a joint initiative of the ESM and F&P Working Groups. Describe

  • Experiment design
  • How to access the outputs
  • Initial results
  • Discuss possible avenues for further analysis: contributions welcome!
  • Discuss possible ACCESS-S2 Training. Gauge interest and requirements

See the ESM WG announcement for details.

Hi FPWG

Based on prior WG sessions, particularly our session at the NRI workshop last year, a few of us have drafted a document on how the ACCESS-NRI might be able to support ML infrastructure in the future.

We would very much welcome your comments/additions to the document. Please use the google-docs version for adding your suggestions:
How ACCESS NRI could support ML/AI

The contents of the document are useful for the NRI in considering future investment options.

Thanks!

Joint Meeting: Atmosphere + Forecasting and Prediction WGs 08.05.2024

We’ve organised another Forecasting & Prediction WG meeting jointly with the Atmosphere WG. This meeting will focus on some shared modelling interests with the single column model configuration, and lidar and radar simulators. Please come and share your ideas for collaborative projects!

** For a calendar invite, simply click on the relevant calendar link below **

Agenda:

  1. Admin: Volunteer for taking today’s meeting minutes to post here on the Forum.
  2. Introduction: Atmosphere and Forecasting & Prediction WGs (5 + 5 mins)
  3. Single Column Model (SCM): presentation by Martin Dix (15 + 5mins)
    The UM includes a SCM configuration. This includes the full UM atmosphere and land surface physics, but replaces the dynamics by advective tendencies derived from observations or from a full model. It’s a useful tool for testing physics parameterisations because it runs quickly and gives detailed per timestep diagnostics.
    Martin will present some tests comparing JULES and CABLE land surface schemes driven with data from ERA5 and from a global UM run.
  4. Earth Model Column Collaboratory (EMC2): Calum Knight will give an introduction to EMC2, an open-source ground-based lidar and radar instrument simulator and subcolumn generator for large-scale models (10 + 5 mins)
  5. Discussion: Ideas for future collaborative projects and joint meetings for Atmosphere and Forecasting & Prediction WGs (15 mins)
