The NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) Center for Climate Sciences organizes a virtual mini-symposium on ‘Climate and Radiation Monitoring’, April 18th, 9:00-11:00 AM Pacific time.
This mini-symposium is the first of a series focused on ‘The Essential Role of Long-term Satellite Records for Climate Science and Monitoring’. The objectives of this series of mini-symposia are:
- to raise the visibility of the remarkable role and importance of the long-term satellite climate records currently in existence;
- to highlight critical accomplishments in selected areas;and
- to review challenges in sustaining a climate monitoring system.
This first ‘Climate and Radiation Monitoring’ virtual mini-symposium will consist of three invited presentations of 30 minutes each, followed by moderated discussion, and includes the following invited speakers:
- Earth Radiation Balance – Norman Loeb, NASA LaRC
- Solar Irradiance – Greg Kopp, LASP
- Hyperspectral Infrared Radiation – Larrabee Strow, UMBC
- Discussion (with comments from Erik Richard, LASP, on the future of spectral solar monitoring)

The Global Water Futures (GWF) Open Science Meeting 2022 is open to all GWF participants as well as researchers not formally part of GWF but interested in linking to the program.
This years theme: Knowledge to Action:
- Managing and governing water futures – GWF research encompasses direct governance and management research as well as tools and models to support innovative water governance and management. Day 1 will focus on how GWF knowledge is/can be used towards changing approaches that better respond to climate change and the Sustainable Development Goals.
- Water-related risk reduction – GWF is actively generating knowledge, models, and tools, to reduce risks faced by ecosystems, various economic sectors, and individuals and communities. Risk reduction is a clear and critical knowledge to action pathway within GWF.
- Harnessing data and knowledge to improve water practice – GWF has invested in models, tools, apps, sensors, and scenarios. How are these being deployed to improve water practice and what other opportunities exist (e.g., artificial intelligence).

The World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) Open Science Conference 2023 will bring together diverse research communities, programmes and partners to discuss the latest developments in climate science, with an emphasis on science-based information for decision making.
The Conference will highlight advances and challenges in research on the coupled Earth System. It will feature sessions on modelling, observations, and the development of climate information for society. There will be a strong focus on climate risk, including the consequences, likelihoods and responses to the impacts of climate change, as well as the innovations needed to ensure that climate science information, data, and training are accessible to all those who seek them.
- Advances in Climate Research
- Human Interactions with Climate
- Co-produced Climate Services and Solutions

In parallel with the 3rd Pan-GASS meeting, Understanding and Modeling Atmospheric Processes (UMAP 2022) and the Pan-GEWEX 2022, the second 2022 GEWEX Scientific Steering Group meeting (SSG-34b) will take place in The HYATT Regency Hotel in Monterey, CA, U.S.A.
The SSG-34B will consist of a morning program on Tue 26 and Wed 27 July 2022 and will focus on activities of GEWEX in relation to our sponsors and international partners.
For more information, visit https://www.gewexevents.org/meetings/gewex-ssg-34b/
In conjunction with the 3rd Pan-GASS Meeting, Understanding and Modeling Atmospheric Processes (UMAP 2022), GEWEX will have an by invitation-only Pan-GEWEX Meeting at the same venue from 27-30 July 2022, where the four GEWEX Panels will conduct relevant matters business. Another goal of this in-person meeting is to facilitate the closer interaction between panels.

The first GEWEX Scientific Steering Group Meeting (by invitation only) in 2022, the SSG-34A, is hosted by Institut Pierre Simon Laplace (IPSL)and will take place at Sorbonne Université – Pierre and Marie Curie Campus (UPMC), Paris, France from 3-5 May 2022. The SSG-34A has two main focus points:
- discussions about the new GEWEX Science Plan and other strategy documents to align with WCRP’s new priorities in anticipation of Phase IV (2023–2032) of GEWEX, and
- further work out the the details of the PAN-GEWEX program, which will take place at the HYATT Congress, CA, U.S.A from 27-30 July 2022, which should stimulate in particular the cross cutting activities between the four GEWEX Panels.

The WCRP Working Group on Numerical Experimentation (WGNE) organises a hybrid workshop on systematic errors in weather and climate models. The workshop will review recent progress made on the atmospheric systematic error priorities identified from the 5th Workshop on Systematic Errors, while also expanding focus to coupled systems. The workshop will be broadly organized around the following themes:
- Clouds and precipitation
- Atmosphere-land-ocean-cryosphere interactions
- (sub-)tropical circulations
- Stratosphere-Troposphere interactions
- Machine learning/AI and data assimilation
- Quantifying uncertainty
- Challenges and surprises in simulating the climate system
The second GCOS Climate Observation Conference (17-19 October 2022, Darmstadt, Germany) will focus on activities and solutions that help to achieve a fully implemented, sustainable, and fit for purpose global observing system for climate. The Conference will also provide the occasion to celebrate GCOS 30thAnniversary and take stock of the progress achieved by the global observing community in the last three decades.

As in past years, this three and a half day meeting will contain oral and poster sessions on:
- The assessment of cloud feedbacks, adjustments, and climate sensitivity, with an emphasis on the analyses of CMIP6/CFMIP3 experiments and observations.
- The role of cloud/radiation/precipitation/circulation coupling in large scale atmosphere/ocean dynamics (e.g. ITCZ, storm tracks, SST patterns) and the planetary energy balance.
- Process based analyses of cloud structures and cloud controlling processes using GCMs, fine scale models, idealized experiments, and observations.
- The role of the organization of cloud systems in climate.
This will be an in person meeting on the University of Washington campus. The meeting will NOT include remote-interactive presentations. A registration fee of $250 will be collected in April & May. The registration fee will be partially refunded if the Seattle meeting is canceled. Details will follow in April.
If you would like to attend but are unwilling or unable to attend under current covid related-travel restrictions, you are welcome to submit an abstract but please signify that you will only attend if the meeting is switched to a virtual format or that a colleague (who will attend in person) will present your work.
If the meeting needs to be canceled due to an upsurge in covid or an insufficient number of attendees being able to travel, a fully virtual meeting (likely using Gather Town) will be held at some later date.
If you have any further questions, please contact by email.
