  1. Welcome to the JCSDA 9th Science Workshop College Park, MD, May 24-25, 2011

  2. Objectives of the Workshop • The JCSDA supports scientific development work in satellite data assimilation with internally directed funds in each of the JCSDA partners, as well as with external grants awarded via a competitive process open to the broader scientific community (NOAA/FFO in FY10, NASA/Roses in FY11). • The JCSDA science workshop aims at facilitating the coordination between these multiple efforts. • It is also an opportunity for scientists to give feedback(s) and influence future directions of the JCSDA (through the breakout discussions).

  3. Logistics • Posters/Coffee Breaks: In front of room 2400 (near registration desk). Please hang posters early. • Lunch: Adele Stamp Student Union Building: Food Court • Picture Taking: Right before lunch (1st day) outside building • Dining: Many options in College Park, MD or in DC. • UMD Shuttle: 104 shuttle from Green line metro (runs every 10 to 15 minutes from 6:00am to 3:00am). • Wireless Access: 100 accounts have been distributed (with username and passwords) • Presentations loading: Please do it asap (see IT person). Permission requested to post them online on JCSDA web site. Posters to be posted as well.

  4. Overall Program Day 1 • Welcoming remarks • Session 1:Consists of a single overview from JCSDA managementrepresenting all JCSDA partners (NOAA, NASA, AFWA, Navy) • Session 2:Radiative Transfer Modeling and Validation • Session 3:Cloud and Precipitation Data Assimilation • Session 4: Assimilation of Advanced Sensors • Session 5: Land Data Assimilation • Session 6: Atmospheric Composition • Session 7: Ocean Data Assimilation • Session 8: Software Packages and Science Integration • Session 9: Posters Session • Session 10: Breakout Sessions (by science priority) • Session 11:is a final plenary session in which reports from the break-out groups will be provided and discussed. Day 2

  5. Breakout Sessions(on afternoon of 2nd day)(led by co-chairs of sessions) • Ocean Data Assimilation (Room 1113) • Land Data Assimilation (Room 2416) • Atmospheric Composition (Room 2400) • CRTM (Room 2428) • Cloud and Precipitation Data Assimilation (Room 3425) • Assimilation of Advanced Sensors (plenary session room 2324)

  6. Questions to the breakout groups: • Based on this Workshop, how would you rate the JCSDA activities in your area of expertise? • Any recommendations regarding the cohesiveness of our efforts? • Coordination vs. overlap and redundancy • What other recommendations do you have for JCSDA management to strengthen our activities in your areas? • Long term, short term, specific funding issues, specific projects, other? • Any feedback on the workshop itself? • Are we getting too large? • Workshop or conference? • Do we give enough visibility to JCSDA investigators? • Venue, duration, format,… JCSDA Science Workshop, 05/24-25/2011
