2026 Cloud Feedback Model Intercomparison Project (CFMIP) Meeting
Dates: 19–22 October 2026
Location: NTUH International Convention Center, Taipei, Taiwan
Abstract Submission Deadline: 5 June 2026
The 2026 Cloud Feedback Model Intercomparison Project (CFMIP) Meeting on Clouds, Precipitation, and Circulationwill feature oral and poster sessions on the following topics. Contributions may include perspectives from observations, models spanning a range of resolutions and complexities, and theoretical frameworks:
- Forcing, Feedbacks, and Climate Sensitivity
- Earth’s Energy Imbalance
- Convective Processes and Convective Organization
- Micro- to Meso-scale Cloud Processes
- Coupling of Clouds with Atmospheric and Oceanic Circulation
- Hydrological Cycle and Regional Precipitation
In particular, studies are welcome that address the four key knowledge gaps targeted by the CFMIP4 experiments:
- What are the physical mechanisms underlying cloud feedbacks and adjustments in nature, and how credibly do models represent these?
- How and why do cloud feedbacks and adjustments depend on base state and on the nature of the forcing?
- What coupled processes underlie the SST pattern effect, and how does this affect cloud feedback?
- What are the mechanisms underlying cloud–circulation coupling and regional precipitation change, and how credibly do models represent these?
2026 S2S Land-atmosphere Interactions Workshop
Dates: 4–6 August 2026
Location: NSF National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF NCAR), Boulder, CO, USA
Abstract Submission Deadline: 31 May 2026
This meeting is a follow-on to the 2025 summer workshop and will focus on the role of land–atmosphere interactions in predictability at subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) timescales (here defined as two weeks to three months). The program will include a mix of science and applications talks, working-group showcases, discussion of coordinated experiments, and planning for future community efforts.
Abstract topics include:
- Land Initialization Methods and Metrics
- Sources of S2S Predictability
- Land-Atmosphere Coupling Processes
- Model Bias and Uncertainty
- Novel applications of Use of AI/ML in S2S Prediction
- Data Assimilation and Observation Strategies
- Applications and Operations
- Other
Presentations that identify and describe opportunities for synergistic multi-agency (domestic and international) S2S system development are of particular relevance.
Unifying Innovations in Forecasting Capabilities Workshop 2026
Dates: 20–24 July 2026
Location: College Park Marriott Hotel & Conference Center, MD, USA (hybrid)
Abstract Submission Deadline: 30 April 2026 COB
Unifying Innovations in Forecasting Capabilities Workshop 2026 (UIFCW26) is an opportunity for community partners, across academia, industry, and government, to collaborate in the shared mission to advance forecasting capabilities. The theme for this year’s workshop is a New Frontier: Optimizing New Technology in a Changing Weather Enterprise. Objective of this workshop is to strengthen the understanding of the collaborative efforts to improve the Unified Forecast System (UFS), accelerate meaningful contributions, and measure progress more effectively.
Focus will continue on integrating sectors of the Weather Enterprise and fostering a community aligned with the mission of the Earth Prediction Innovation Center (EPIC), emphasizing government research and the crucial role of community building. UIFCW26 is dedicated to engaging and uniting efforts to advance forecasting capabilities for a more informed future.
Scientific Reports for the Compound extreme events Collection
Journal: Scientific Reports – Springer Nature Group Programme
Research: Compound extreme events Collection
Submission deadline: 30 April 2026
This Collection welcomes original research on compound extreme events, including dynamics, forecasting and risk assessment, but also strategies to mitigate their impact. Modelling and estimation studies supported by observational data will also be considered.
