Language English Scope In numerical weather prediction, the observation, prediction and data assimilation techniques have developed dramatically, achieving improvements of forecast skills of high-impact weather events such as bomb cyclones, super typhoons, torrential rain, tornadoes and hot spells. Data assimilation techniques have been applied to atmospheric transport, ocean circulation and earthquakes and a number of advanced techniques have been proposed. In this session, with invited speaker Prof Emeritus Yoshikazu Sasaki, we review the recent development of data assimilation techniques, discuss methodologies and applications of their applications and project future directions for further development.
