When the ACCORD management group was formed in the first quarter of 2021, two HIRLAM management group members, Roger Randriamampianina and Patrick Samuelsson, transferred to the ACCORD management group. Also, Sander Tijm accepted a new position as Operations manager for UWC-West. In April-June therefore a selection process has taken place to find replacements for these three colleagues in the HIRLAM management group. The HIRLAM Council, at there meeting on 30 June 2021, confirmed the appointment of three new HIRLAM project leaders:
- Emily Gleeson as project leader Physics parametrizations
- Ekatherina Kurzeneva as project leader Surface analysis and modelling
- Magnus Lindskog as project leader Data assimilation and use of observations
We wish Emily, Katya and Magnus all the best in their new functions.
