The anchoring theme for the VII Convection Permitting Climate Modelling workshop is “Mountainous regions and high latitudes as climate change hot spots”. The workshops aims:
- to communicate advances in Convection-Permitting Climate Modelling (CPCM) and our understanding of fine scale processes; how these influence/are influenced by larger scale features and elucidate how climate change and its impacts are experienced at local scales
- to address, and propose solutions to, barriers to continued advancement – such as lack of key earth system or human components
- through concrete examples discuss how we can tailor CPCM research in such a way so as to support adaptation efforts, vulnerability & impacts assessments and downstream climate services
- Impact and Service
- Science
- Technology
- Observations
- Structure and Governance
- LS4P-I achievements
- items from LS4P-I which need to be addressed
- challenging issues that the LS4P project faces
- discussion of the LS4P Phase II protocol

Objective
The evaluation of climate data records related to water and energy fluxes are often complicated by assumptions in satellite algorithms that lead to state dependent errors. These errors are notoriously difficult to quantify as their dependence on state variables is rarely understood. This GEWEX sponsored workshop will attempt to make progress in one area by focusing on the consistency, closure and the underlying processes from both a satellite and a land model perspective. The workshop is thus intended not simply the components of the terrestrial water cycle, but how consistent it is as a function of state variables, including soil moisture, LST, turbulent fluxes, the boundary layer, and precipitation processes. While the ultimate objectives are global, the focus will be on using well instrumented ground based sites such as the ARM facility in Oklahoma as well as GHP sites to guide the assessment and provide the additional high resolution physical information needed to develop a fuller understanding of the relevant processes. In addition to GEWEX, this workshop should be of interest to the International Precipitation- and Surface Working Groups sponsored by CGMS.
Outcome
A letter to funding agencies advising them of potential new fruitful research related to integrated land surface-atmosphere process studies.

The European Space Agency, in the context of the “FutureEO – Earth Observations Science for Society” Programme, and the World Climate Research Program are organizing a workshop called Earth Energy Imbalance Assessment workshop, Monday 15 – Thursday 18 May 2023, hosted as a hybrid event at ESA-ESRIN, Frascati (Rome), Italy. The aim of the workshop is to engage a wide community with expertise in radiometric remote sensing, satellite altimetry, space gravimetry, ocean in situ measurements and ocean reanalysis to assess and intercompare estimates of Earth’s energy imbalance and their time variability and uncertainties.

The Berlin Summit
Earth Virtualization Engines (EVE), with the support of the German Research and Education Ministry (BMBF) and other partners, is proud to announce the Berlin Summit to advance Climate Science and Service. The Berlin Summit will bring together invited participants from across the world to draft a blueprint for an international climate science and service center. Prominent keynote speakers from science, industry and politics will outline the challenges the center must address, and participants will adapt and fine-tune white papers outlining options for five facets of the proposed center:
to be discussed in turn across the five days of the summit.

This workshop is intended to enhance activities of the cutting-edge atmospheric climate and weather models, including “K-scale” or global storm-resolving models and their collaboration with the EarthCARE satellite.
The EarthCARE satellite is scheduled to be launched in 2023, with the first-ever global observations of the vertical motion of cloud particles from space (by CPR Doppler measurement). On the occasion half a year prior to the launch, we would like to invite modeling scientists to discuss possible directions and areas of collaboration between the EarthCARE satellite and modeling communities for advancing model representations of cloud and convection physics. We also aim to facilitate the ongoing discussions of NASA AOS, which is planned for launch around 2030.
This workshop is jointly hosted by International Core-to-Core Project on Global Storm Resolving Analysis (ICCP-GSRA), which enhances activities for promoting international collaboration for global storm-resolving meteorological data analysis and their social implementation.
Since the inception of the Global Energy and Water Exchanges (GEWEX) program initiative – the “Impact of Initialized Land Temperature and Snowpack on Sub-seasonal to Seasonal Prediction” (LS4P) in 2018, more than 40 institutions worldwide have participated in this project.
The GEWEX/LS4P Phase II International Kickoff Workshop will focus on:

The International Baltic Earth Winter School for Young Scientists on “Earth System Science for the Baltic Sea Region” is co-organized by Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde (IOW), University of Rostock and the International Baltic Earth Secretariat at Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon under the umbrella of Baltic Earth (baltic.earth).
The interdisciplinary school will provide a broad overview over ongoing research activities on the Earth system in the Baltic Sea region and discuss grand challenges in sciences, for instance as summarized in the Baltic Earth Assessment Reports (BEARs).
The goal of the school is to provide an overview of the level of knowledge and to assist in future career choices. Informal meetings and discussions are planned in the evenings. All participants will be given the opportunity to present their research in the form of short talks and to open up for feedback.

The fifth edition of the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) symposium will will address the broad topic of “Space Science with Small Satellites” and covers the rapid advances made in the last decade in small, micro, and nano-satellites for space science. The symposium in addition will cover the emerging space debris issue in Low-Earth Orbit. Another focus area will be capacity building using small satellite technologies and the perspective of emerging space nations such as Singapore.
