The JASMIN User Conference 2023. Attendees are invited to Rutherford Appleton Laboratory to hear the latest updates on JASMIN and share user highlights.
Programme   Day 1 Wednesday 1st November   Day 2 Thursday 2nd November   Venues  

We will be hosting the next JASMIN conference at our host institute on the Harwell Campus in Oxfordshire. It will occur over two half days on the afternoon of Wednesday 1 and the morning of Thursday 2 November 2023.

It’s been a long time since we last ran an in-person conference. Lots has changed with JASMIN and within the user community since then. Now is the perfect time to get everyone together again, share recent experiences, updates and changes, whilst strengthening the user community and discussing the future.

The purpose of the conference is to:

  • Strengthen the community and enable sharing of experience and expertise

  • Get some feedback from users and provide an opportunity to discuss the feedback

  • Discuss the question: where does the community want us to go in the future?

In previous years, the JASMIN user conference has been a 1 or 2 day event - usually in person, at the Harwell Campus. It has consisted of a mixture of science talks from users, update presentations from the JASMIN team, breakout discussions and networking time.

If you are interested in hearing more about how JASMIN can support your research, then this is a great opportunity to learn more, meet the team and other members of the user community.

Some of the user highlight talks you can expect are shown below:

  • JASMIN Object Storage: Optimizing Performance for Climate Research, Amulya Chevturi and Matt Brow, CEH

  • Simple Loss Model for European Windstorms, Dhirendra Kumar, Reading university

  • Implementing EOCIS services in Jasmin’s External Cloud, Niall McCarroll, Reading University

  • Use of JASMIN as a collaboration platform for the Met Office atmospheric dispersion model, Benjamin Drummond, The Met Office

  • Using the JASMIN Object Store and Cloud to Enable Oceanographic Research, Colin Sauze

  • Climate Modelling in the NERC CANARI science programme, Reinhard Schiemann, Reading university

  • Operational forecasting for the WesCon WOEST campaign, Laurent Marker, NCAS
