Seamless Global Modelling workshop

From hours to centuries: Seamless Global Modelling workshop

Opportunities and challenges for global seamless weather and climate prediction/projection systems

3-6 June 2025, Bristol, UK 

Aims of the workshop: 

Review the seamless model development and evaluation approach to ensure a sustainable and relevant process for the future of the Momentum partnership by interacting with other seamless modelling centres outside of the partnership facing similar upcoming challenges. 

Consolidate the current collaborative GC (Global Coupled modelling) activities of the science programme and also inspire us to develop new ideas and plans going forward. The workshop could result in a position paper. 

What will the workshop be about: 

This workshop is funded by the Momentum Partnership and will be inviting other modelling centres to discuss the future of global model development and evaluation. The workshop will tackle the challenges and opportunities for how  global model development and evaluation processes may need to evolve to anticipate the challenges below: 

• Seamless development approach, benchmark and testing framework to meet increasingly challenging user requirements across all time and space scales 

• AI/ML models, how will they be integrated within the model development and evaluation process and how can they benefit from the seamless approach 

• Model development suited for ensemble systems 

• Agile science pull-through, addressing systematic errors with process-based understanding for model development 

• Km-scale challenge and requirement for higher resolutions and scale-aware parametrisations 

• Tuning strategy with increasing range of complexities and applications  

Although the workshop is focused around Global modelling there will be topics that will also be relevant for Regional modelling, such as K-scale challenge or AI/ML models and evaluation.
