The Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX), a core project of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), vision is to advance and coordinate the science and application of regional climate downscaling through global partnership.
The next International Conference on Regional Climate (ICRC)-CORDEX conference will focus on discussions and ideas for the way forward and CORDEX contributions to the WCRP Open Science Conference in October 2023. The conference will also focus on specific regional challenges and solutions, such as needs for National Adaptation Plans and climate financing.

About the Symposium
The annual GEO Symposia provide a key opportunity for the GEO Work Programme community to exchange knowledge, share experiences, and foster collaboration.
For the first time since 2019, the GEO Symposium 2023 will be held in person in Geneva on June 13-14, 2023, followed by the Open Data and Open Knowledge Workshop.
Speakers and participants will draw on GEO’s previous accomplishments to highlight how GEO can accelerate equitable access to Earth observations and develop and share information that leads to impact. The theme of the Symposium is “Stand out in the crowd: GEO Work Programme for Nature, People, and Planet.”
Objectives of the GEO Symposium 2023:
- Support the development of the Ministerial Declaration and Post 2025 Strategy.
- Advance collaborations on a GEO Work Programme that provides integrated, innovative and co-designed products and services.
- Provide the GEO Work Programme community with opportunities to showcase their work and network with each other.

Precipitation drives the atmospheric storage, movement, and quality of water. It is both the primary source of freshwater and a major driver of natural hazards. While a fundamental hydrologic flux, precipitation comprises the most challenging processes to estimate, model, and predict, because of its variability at all scales and its evolving interactions with the water, energy, and carbon cycles under a changing climate. It is therefore a major component of uncertainty in weather predictions and cliamte projections, with significant implications for our ability to quantify water cycle dynamics, inform decision making, and predict hydro-geomorphic hazards in response to extremes. A key to these efforts is model-observations synergy to advance precipitation science by jointly enhancing the accuracy of modeled processes and our insight into observations across space and time scales.

This year’s annual GLASS Panel Meeting (by invitation only), will review progress of the GLASS working groups and projects and hear updates from non-GLASS projects with related research objectives. As one of the four panels of the Global Energy and Water Cycle Exchanges (GEWEX), a core program of the World Climate Research Program (WCRP), the new GEWEX Science Plan and the WCRP Lighthouse activities will be at the heart of these discussions.
Meeting objectives
- Share progress of existing projects;
- Determine if there are weaknesses in the current portfolio of GLASS projects, exposing scientific questions and areas where we should be promoting active coordinated research projects;
- Discuss structural changes at the World Climate Research Program and determine how GLASS can best contribute to the Lighthouse Activities.

This year’s GHP meeting (by invitation only) will be used to review the state of the current ongoing actions (RHPs, CCs, Networks and the links with the Data Centers). GHP members and project leads will evaluate ongoing and planned GHP activities and asses future actions to ensure that the Panel contributes effectively to the leading role that GEWEX plays in the hydrological and climate sciences and related modeling activities. The GEWEX Science Goals and the WCRP Lighthouse Activities will be at the heart of these discussions, which will result in improved interactions between the GEWEX RHPs and strengthen their involvement in the crosscutting projects.

The overarching goal of this workshop is to establish a regional project in Central Asia on hydroclimate, water resources, food security, conservation, and land use, led by regional scientists and stakeholders. An important driver for that ambition is to better observe and predict climate change and its effects and to support adaptation and mitigation measures, to support land use planning and sustainable food supply. A crucial aspect for any successful regional development is the existence of a strong and cohesive scientific and stakeholder network, to establish a community of scientists and stakeholders with relevant key interests.
In 2022 ANDEX became an initiating Regional Hydroclimate Project (RHP) of the GEWEX Hydroclimatology Panel (GHP) with the main goals of (i) establishing a research agenda focused on key hydroclimatic issues of interest to the Andes region; (ii) connecting the scientists working in the Andes with global and regional initiatives, and (iii) creating a scientific framework to contribute with the decision-making process for the sustainable development of the region.
The main objectives of the 2023 ANDEX meeting in Santiago are to:
- meet with the Scientific Committee and the coordinators of the different ANDEX teams to discuss the current state and recent activities of these groups,
- work on the development of the Scientific Plan of the ANDEX program, including its specific objectives, main scientific questions, key research activities, and milestones and deadlines in the short, medium and long terms and,
- present the main goals and regional relevance and potential of the ANDEX program to the attendees of the GEWEX High Level Meeting.

The 35th GEWEX Scientific Steering Group (SSG-35) meeting is a by invitation only and will take place in Santiago, Chile from Monday to Thursday, 1–4 May 2023. Holding the GEWEX SSG in Santiago is a recognition by the international community of the tremendous effort of the Andean research community to coordinate their effort of understanding the water cycle of the this region.
The GEWEX SSG-35 will focus on internal matters: the new GEWEX Science Plan for GEWEX’s Phase IV (2022-2032), how that translates to current and future panel activities and how it aligns and links with WCRP’s science priorities, including the WCRP Lighthouse Activities, and each GEWEX Panel will report on their activities in 2023/2024 and plans.
Furthermore, this meeting will also focus on GEWEX activities in relation to our sponsors and international partners and an important part of this meeting is dedicated to discussing preparations for the GEWEX Open Science Conference in 2024.

The upcoming joint Cloud Feedback Model Intercomparison Project (CFMIP) and Global Atmospheric System Studies (GASS) Meeting will be held on 9–13 July 2023 at Sorbonne University in Paris, France.
This 4-day conference will focus on the following topics, considering process and climate studies, and models and observations across a range of scales:
- Convective organization: What controls the organization of shallow and deep convection, and what role does it play in weather and climate?
- Cloud processes: How do micro- to meso-scale processes control cloud phase, precipitation and cloud-radiative effects?
- Clouds-circulation coupling: How do clouds couple to circulations and what role does this coupling play in weather and climate?
- Climate feedbacks and sensitivity: How do clouds respond to external perturbations and what role does it play in climate change?
The conference will highlight the complementarity, for answering those questions, of the suite of available models (LES, CRMs, GCMs, global CRMs, conceptual models) and observations (field campaigns, observatories, satellites).
The conference will consist in oral presentations, poster sessions and breakout group discussions.
In order to submit an abstract, please fill out the form at the following link:
