6th International EULAG Workshop
Efficient forward-in-time methods for
geophysical research and all-scale weather prediction.
28-30 May, 2018,
University of Warsaw, Faculty of Physics

Workshop scope

In the tradition of the EULAG Users' Workshops we focus on advancements in nonoscillatory forward-in-time (NFT) methods responsible for the success of EULAG in two decades of research across a range of geo- and astrophysical applications.

These methods gained signifficant attention in the area of numerical weather prediction, with notable examples including the COSMO-EULAG dynamical core for regional forecasting and the Finite-Volume Module (IFS-FVM) dynamical core for global medium-range forecasting. This development has been accompanied with a number of research projects focused on efficient integration of NFT methods on modern supercomputing architectures, including the EU-funded "Energy-efficient Scalable Algorithms for Weather Prediction at Exascale" (ESCAPE) coordinated by ECMWF and "Numerical weather prediction for sustainable Europe" (PROPOZE) coordinated by IMGW.

The workshop aims to bring together researchers working with forward-in-time methods, to exchange information on EULAG-based research projects and to discuss recent developments on numerical and computational advancements with EULAG, COSMO-EULAG and IFS-FVM. Contributions from outside the EULAG community are equally welcome.

Workshop topics

  • Dynamical cores for research and weather applications based on forward-in-time numerics
  • New numerical approaches, e.g. for advective transport and implicit solvers
  • Computational approaches for efficient integration on modern supercomputers
  • Energy efficient computations, scalability and modern software engineering of NFT codes
  • Research applications, including but not limited to: cloud/precipitation physics, stratified flows, urban/porous/canopy flows, solar physics/MHD, weather and climate

    Contributions

    We aim at a number of 30 min or 45 min oral contributions covering key research areas, accompanied by the Flash Poster Presentations before the Poster Session. Please send a short abstract until March, 9th, 2018, along with preference for oral (30 min or 45 min) or poster. Confirmation of acceptance will be sent within a week after this date.
