JCSDA JEDI Academies

Joint Effort for Data assimilation Integration (JEDI) is a unified and versatile data assimilation (DA) system for Earth System Prediction. The JEDI software package can be run on a variety of platforms from laptops to supercomputers, for a variety of purposes, from teaching and learning DA fundamentals to the development and validation of new DA algorithms and observational operators, to leading-edge atmospheric and oceanic research, to operational weather forecasting. It is designed to readily accommodate new atmospheric and oceanic models and new observation systems.

JEDI Academies are designed to be week-long training workshops aimed at engaging members of affiliated partner institutions, scientific, academic, private sector, and public communities. Academies offer attendees both lecture sessions and practicums (hands-on practice exercises with JEDI) to familiarize participants with the JEDI infrastructure, discuss recent updates, and collaboratively work on improving the JEDI framework. Ultimately, the goal of the JCSDA JEDI project is to produce open-source code that can be utilized by a variety of audiences for a wide range of research projects. With each JEDI Academy, the format becomes more refined, as we create a model that can be emulated by the community to provide students, researchers, and forecasters to develop their practical coding skills and forecasting experience.

Currently, JEDI Academies are being offered virtually due to COVID-19, though we hope to offer both in-person and virtual experiences in the future.
