The 8th WMO Workshop on the Impact of Various Observing Systems on Numerical Weather Prediction and Earth System Prediction will be hosted by the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI), at their headquarters in Norrköping, Sweden, from 27 to 30 May 2024. The workshop will be held in a hybrid mode, thus also enabling online participation.

We are happy to announce that we have just started to collect the abstracts for the Workshop. The abstracts should address one or more Science questions, be written in English, contain preferably less than 300 words and be submitted online, via the following link: 8NWP_Abstract_submission.

The deadline for the Abstract submission is 15 December 2023. All the abstracts will be evaluated by the Scientific Organizing Committee and a draft workshop programme will be announced at the beginning of 2024.

Participation in the Impact workshop is open to all experts active in the field of impact studies of the observing systems, either from the NWP centres, or from any other institutes or communities involved in the ESP, and is free of charge.
