About WGNE

The Working Group on Numerical Experimentation (WGNE) was jointly established more than 30 years ago by the WCRP Joint Scientific Committee (JSC) and the WMO Commission for Atmospheric Sciences (CAS).

WGNE's mission is:

• foster the development of numerical models for use in weather, climate, water and environmental prediction on all time scales and diagnosing and resolving shortcomings;
• promote co-ordinated numerical experimentation for validating model results, observed atmospheric properties, exploring the natural and forced variability and predictability of the atmosphere;
• promote studies aimed at refining numerical techniques, and the formulation of atmospheric physics processes;
• monitor the advances in data assimilation and analysis methods, being the focal point in the WCRP for encouraging and reviewing the reanalysis projects.
