Welcome to the Summer Meeting for the Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP)! The 2017 theme is Strengthening Ties Between Observations and User Communities. The theme is based on one of the goals in the 2015 - 2020 ESIP Strategic Plan, which provides a framework for ESIP’s activities over the next three years.
Modeling and forecasting capabilities have evolved considerably over the past 10 years. Hydrology, atmospheric chemistry, physical oceanography and weather have all experienced substantial improvements, but more are on the way. In addition, the tools upon which these models run are improving rapidly, including the supercomputing capabilities and the related analysis tools. A panel will describe modern advances and then open the floor for discussion. This session will identify new techniques and technologies that can be leveraged from the current advances to improve the speed and accuracy of these models. The output of this session will be a Paper summarizing the impact of the emerging capabilities and what can be done with them.
