Principal ScientistResearch Department, Earth System Modelling Section, Coupled Processes Grouppage tabs Profile Summary: I contribute to the development of ECMWF Integrated Forecasting Systems in the Research department. In particular, I coordinate the research on Coupled Processes within Earth System Modelling. Representing the Earth surface (soil, snow, vegetation, urban areas, water and ice contrasts) at kilometric scale has sizeable scientific and technological challenges and large scope to enhance Earth system monitoring and predictive skills. Professional interests: Numerical weather prediction and Earth system science Surface-Atmosphere interactions and predictability Earth Observations and use of machine learning Climate-change and low-frequency variability Career background: Team-leader, Principal scientist, Earth System Modelling/Coupled Processes, ECMWF 2016-present Senior scientist, Model Division/Physical Aspects, ECMWF 2009-2015 Scientist, Model Division/Physical Aspects, ECMWF 2006-2009 Visiting scientist at the Meteorological Service of Canada, ECCC 2004-2005 ALATNET (PhD/postdoc) researcher at Météo-France/GMAP, CNRM 2000-2003 Weather forecasting and land modelling at the ARPA 1999-2002 External recognitions: WCRP/GEWEX Global Energy and Water Cycle Exchanges, Science Steering Group member WCRP/NTCP Grand Challenge on Near-Term Climate Prediction, Steering Group member CGMS/IESWG International Earth Surface Working Group, co-chair Copernicus CO2 European Commission CO2 Monitoring Task-Force member EUMETSAT/LSA-SAF Land Surface Analysis Satellite Application Facility, Steering Group member EUMETNET/SRNWP Short-Range Numerical Weather Prediction, Land expert team member Publications Latest publicationsTo see all publications please visit the links on the right-hand side2022Melissa Ruiz-Vásquez, Sungmin O, Alexander Brenning, Randal D.
