Sinopsis:

Acerca de los autores: Eugenia Kalnay completed her Ph.D. at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) under Jule Charney and became the first woman on the faculty in the Department of Meteorology. In 1979, she moved to NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, where she developed the fourth-order global numerical model and led experiments in the new science called 'data assimilation.' In 1984, she became Head of NASA's Global Modeling and Simulation Branch. In 1987, she became Director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Environmental Modeling Center, where many improvements of models and data assimilation were developed for the National Weather Service forecasts. Her paper 'The NCEP/NCAR 40-year reanalysis project' (Kalnay et al., 1996) is the most cited paper in geosciences. In 1997, Kalnay became Lowry Chair at the University of Oklahoma and in 1999 became Atmospheric and Ocean Sciences Department Chair and professor at the University of Maryland, where she was later elected a Distinguished University Professor.

Safa Mote is Assistant Professor of Computational and Applied Mathematics at Portland State University and Visiting Assistant Professor of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at the University of Maryland who has worked on a wide range of challenging interdisciplinary problems. He has two Ph.D. degrees in Physics and in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, and Scientific Computing from the University of Maryland. He designs mathematical models to propose and assess holistic policies that lead to sustainability in interconnected environmental, economic, climate, and health systems. He develops computational methods based on Dynamical Systems, Machine Learning, and Data Assimilation to forecast extreme weather and climate events, improve subseasonal to seasonal predictions, and create projections for the coupled energy–water–food nexus.

Cheng Da works on Coupled Data Assimilation as a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Maryland and the Global Modeling and Assimilation Office at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. Supported by the NASA Earth and Space Science Fellowship, he earned his Ph.D. degree under the supervision of Professor Kalnay at the University of Maryland, focusing on the assimilation of precipitation and nonlocal observations in the ensemble data assimilation system and coupled data assimilation. Before this, he earned his bachelor's and Master's degrees in Meteorology at Florida State University, working on radiance assimilation from spaceborne sensors.
