7th International Scientific Conference on the Global Energy & Water Cycle

World Forum at The Hague, The Netherlands
14-17 July 2014

The Conference will be preceded by GEWEX summer sessions for early career scientists and followed by the Pan-GEWEX and Pan-CLIVAR Meetings. A call for abstracts will be annouced soon. Updates on the Conference will be announced on this webpage.

Diurnal land/atmosphere coupling experiment (DICE)

A new GEWEX GLASS/GASS experiment is being launched to conduct an assessment of the impact of land-atmosphere feedbacks by first assessing land and single-column atmosphere models separately, constrained by observational data, and then identifying changes due to coupling. To see the complete details of the simulations and to learn how to contribute, click here.

Radiative Flux and Global Cloud Data Assessments are Now Available

The GEWEX Data and Assessments Panel (GDAP) Working Group for the Radiative Flux Assessment evaluated the overall quality of available, global, long-term radiative flux data products at the top-of-atmosphere and surface. The GDAP Workling Group for the Assessment of Global Cloud Data Sets has completed evaluations of the overall quality of available global, long-term cloud data products. The complete reports are available here.

GEWEX is now the "Global Energy and Water Exchanges" Project
