<!-- Converted from text/plain format --><font size="2" face="Arial">Dear colleagues,</font>
<div><br>
<p><tt><font size="2" face="Arial">We would like to draw your attention to a session on Ensemble Prediction Systems, Stochastic Modelling, and TIGGE at the
<strong>World Weather Open Science Conference</strong>, which will be held from 16th to 21st August in Montreal, Canada.
</font></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt"><font face="Arial"><font size="2">The conference will bring together the entire weather science and user communities to review the state-of-the-art and map out the scientific frontiers for the next decade. This ensemble session
will be part of Theme 2 of the conference “Predictability and Dynamical/Physical/Chemical Processes,” which covers knowledge of the processes that are needed to advance the seamless prediction of the earth system.
<big><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt"><font size="2">This theme will connect research in the academic dynamical/physical/chemical meteorology communities and the operational numerical weather prediction centres.</font>
</span></big></font></font></span></p>
<div><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt"><font size="2" face="Arial">We invite contributed papers on global and regional ensemble prediction systems, stochastic modelling of physical processes, and studies based on the TIGGE (THORPEX
Interactive Grand Global Ensemble) dataset, TIGGE-LAM, or other ensemble datasets.</font></span></span></div>
