Computational and Infomation Technologies for Environmental Sciences

JUNE, 13 - 23

About

Marchuk Institute of Numerical Mathematics RAS, Research Computing Center of Lomonosov Moscow State University, Institute of Monitoring of Climatic and Ecological Systems (IMCES) SB RAS, Moscow Center of Fundamental and Applied Mathematics, Hydrometcentre of Russia, Obukhov Institute of Atmospheric Physics RAS, RAS Earth Sciences Division and the Siberian Branch of the RAS are organizing the International Computing and Information Technologies for Environmental Sciences CITES-2023 (June 13 - 23, 2023, Moscow, Russia), which includes a conference (June 13 - 16) and a school for young scientists (June 19 - 23). The event is supported by the RSF project 21-71-30023.

The sections of the CITES-2023 conference will be devoted to fundamental aspects of Earth system modeling and applications of computing and information technologies in geophysical sciences. Particular attention will be paid to adapting the economy and society to the expected climate change and providing managers with the necessary information to make administrative decisions.

The main topics of the school: the development of numerical models of the atmosphere, ocean, active layer of land, sea ice, climate modeling and numerical weather forecasting, tools and results of climate data analysis. On these most important topics, invited lectures by leading experts will be given, in which young scientists will be provided with up-to-date information that allows them to focus their professional attention on solving the most demanded and promising research problems.

The School of Young Scientists will include lectures by:

  • I.A. Repina (IAP RAS) — Monin-Obukhov Similarity Theory: History, Application, Development
  • Academician V.A. Semenov (IAP RAS) — Models of general atmospheric circulation for diagnostics and predictability of weather anomalies
  • V.M. Stepanenko (RCC MSU) — Numerical Modelling of Heat and Moisture Exchange and Carbon Cycle in the Active Land Layer
  • M.A. Tolstykh (INM RAS, Hydrometcentre of Russia) — Multiscale atmospheric models and their applications
  • I. Ezau (TyumSU) — Integration of High Resolution Models and Data for Environment Control in Smart City (online)
  • С. Danilov (AWI) — Ocean models on unstructured grids, basic discretizations, and major problems (online)
  • A.A. Baklanov (WMO) — Integrated modeling of coupled weather, climate, air quality changes for sustainable development of Arctic and northern cities and regions under conditions of global climate change (online)
  • D.B. Kiktev (Hydrometcentre of Russia) — TBD

Theme of practical training: numerical modeling of direct and inverse relations in the system atmosphere - active layer.

School participants in small groups (2-3 people) will be offered a set of tasks focused on studying the mathematical foundations and software implementation of parametrizations of geophysical processes separately and within a three-dimensional hydrodynamic model of the atmosphere. The special attention will be given to computational aspects of integration of parameterizations of physical processes into the atmospheric model, analysis and interpretation of results of reproduction of circulation in the lower troposphere on medium-term and subseasonal time scales.

Practical sessions will be conducted by R.Yu. Fadeev (INM RAS), V.M. Stepanenko (RCC MSU), E.V. Mortikov (RCC MSU).
