Coupled Global- Regional Data Assimilation with an Ensemble-based Approach November 17, 2011 2:30 p.m. Istvan Szunyogh Abstract Several major numerical weather prediction centers prepare both global and limited area weather analyses and forecasts. Some centers prepare limited area products for multiple regions. For instance, the Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center (FNMOC) provides limited area […]
Composing Parallel Applications Using PARAGRAPHS October 27, 2011 2:30 p.m. Timmie Smith Abstract Languages and tools currently available for the development of parallel applications are difficult to learn and use. The result is that parallel applications are expensive to develop, inflexible, and not easily ported to new architectures. The objective of my research is to […]
