The central question that governs the GEWEX Data and Analysis Panel (GDAP) mission is: “how sensitive is the Earth system to changes in radiative and other forcings?” Answering this question will enable improved prediction of transient natural variations, such as El Niño, and provide better understanding of the consequences of natural and human-induced Earth system changes.
The annual GDAP Meeting (by invitation only) is organized to bring together theoretical and experimental insights into the radiative interactions and Earth system feedbacks associated with cloud processes. During this meeting, participants, including panel members and invited local speakers, will evaluate the progress of the ongoing GDAP evaluations and projects and engage in discussions regarding potential collaboration and explore new project opportunities.
