GEWEX projects are grouped by research focus into the following categories:

  • Data and Assessment

  • Hydroclimatology

  • Modeling and Prediction

The activities under each category are coordinated and guided by the panels listed below.

GEWEX Panels Description
GEWEX Data and Assessment
Panel (GDAP)

Formerly GRP
Guides production and assessment of long term, globally complete atmospheric and surface water and energy budget products, including radiation, aerosols, water vapor, clouds, precipitation and surface turbulent fluxes.
GEWEX Hydroclimatology Panel (GHP) Demonstrates skill in predicting changes in water resources and soil moisture on time scales up to seasonal and annual as an integral part of the climate system.
Global Atmospheric System Studies (GASS) Panel Facilitates the use of observations, process studies and numerical model experiments with the goal of developing and improving the representation of the atmosphere in weather and climate models.

Global Land/Atmosphere System Study (GLASS) Panel

Supports the improvement of estimates and representation of land-surface states and fluxes in models, the interaction with the overlying atmosphere, and maximizing the fraction of inherent predictability.
