The “WMO/WWRP 4th International Symposium on Nowcasting and Very short range Forecast (WSN16)” will be held on 25-29 July 2016 at The Chinese University of Hong Kong.
The WSN16 symposium is jointly organized by the World Weather Research Programme of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO/WWRP), the Hong Kong Observatory (HKO), The Hong Kong Meteorological Society (HKMetS), and the Institute of Environment, Energy and Sustainability (IEES).
Experts and professionals from over the world will come and share their knowledge and latest advances in nowcasting. Nowcasting is commonly regarded as an end-to-end forecasting process for high impact weather via providing rapidly updated, high precision meteorological products and services from data collection to the end users. At this symposium, topics on the current state-of-art nowcasting and very short range forecast capabilities, the emerging observation technologies, applications and services, verification and societal impacts in the 0-6 hour time frame will be examined.
