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.

Launch of an International Monsoons Project Office (IMPO)
IMPO is a joint effort by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM) to help coordinate the global monsoon research activities of the World Weather Research Programme
(WWRP) and the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP.
To commemorate the launch of the IMPO, a celebratory event is being held
online on 28 February 2022 at 13:00 UTC (1830 IST), coinciding with the
National Science Day in India.
For information, visit the official notification.
The Conference is the fifth international event focusing on applications of space technology for water in the series of conferences organised with financial assistance of the PSIPW and the Inter-Islamic Network on Space Sciences and Technology (ISNET). The expected outcome of the workshop is to make observations and converge on recommendations for the Groundwater Summit which will take place later in 2022, as well as for the 2023 Midterm Review of the Water Action Decade.

The International Centre for Water Hazard and Risk Management (ICHARM), under auspices of UNESCO, Public Works Research Institute (PWRI), is the local host of the 9th International Conference on Flood Management (ICFM9) held in Tsukuba, Japan, from 18 to 21 February 2023.
ICFM offers an international conference platform, hosted every 3 years, to discuss a range of flood related issues and realise significant change in a multidisciplinary, multisectoral area. It provides a unique opportunity for various specialists including engineers, planners, natural and social scientists, health specialists, disaster managers, decision makers, and policy makers to come together to exchange ideas and experiences. ICFM will consider the range of issues and challenges that affect flood management, particularly the need to build resilience into future planning. By providing a forum for researchers, industry, policymakers and other stakeholders, the conference will identify the key concerns and significant challenges of the future.

The Japan Geoscience Union (JpGU) 2022 features a hybrid (in-person and online) meeting from 22-27 May 2022 and online Poster sessions from 29 May – 3 June 2022.
JpGU is an academic union that covers all the disciplines of Earth and planetary sciences and related fields.
The scientific functions of JpGU are currently conducted by five independent Science Sections: space and planetary sciences, atmospheric and hydrographic sciences, human geosciences, solid Earth sciences, and biogeosciences. JpGU’s main activity is the annual scientific meeting held in spring and the publication of our peer-reviewed journal (Progress in Earth and Planetary Sciences).
GEWEX Hydroclimate Project ‘AsiaPEX’ session (A-AS08) Multiple scale structure and their interactions in Asian monsoon system

The European Space Agency’s 2022 Living Planet Symposium (LPS2022) is held every three years and will take place from 23–27 May 2022 in Bonn, Germany. The symposium is organized with the support of the German Aerospace Center (DLR).
LPS2022 focuses on how Earth observation contributes to science and society, and how disruptive technologies and actors are changing the traditional Earth observation landscape, which is also creating new opportunities for public and private sector interactions. The objectives this year are to:
UNDERSTAND EARTH SYSTEMS
Prove how satellite data and open science contribute to our understanding of the different Earth systems, climate and their interactions.
ADVANCE FUTURE TECHNOLOGY FOR EARTH OBSERVATION MISSIONS
Demonstrate new Earth observation instruments and technologies for existing and future missions.
NURTURE PUBLIC & PRIVATE SECTOR PARTNERSHIPS
Highlight the importance of existing and new partnerships, expand the Earth observation user base, increase access to capital and commercialisation.
ENABLE THE EARTH OBSERVATION DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
Demonstrate how next generation technologies will create new opportunities for Earth observation including data collection, processing, distribution and analysis.
EMPOWER THE GREEN TRANSITION
Confirm how Earth observation services can be integrated with local, national and global policies to drive socio-economic sustainable development, security, and resilience.

The International Conference ‘Groundwater, key to the sustainable development goals‘ constitutes a meeting point to promote exchanges between the different national and international stakeholders in the fields of water and sustainable development. The main objectives of this conference are to:
- Examine the overall relationships between water-related SDG s, their stakeholders and groundwater
- Share knowledge, experiences, findings and good practices on GWR in sustainable development trajectories
- Elaborate recommendations to ensure the best integration of groundwater resources into the SDGs
.

This workshop will be an opportunity to share recent advances in the field of model uncertainties, to identify common interests and open research questions. While acknowledging the diversity of approaches that has emerged over the past two decades, the workshop will primarily focus on stochastic representations of model uncertainties and the following five main themes:
- Uncertainty representations in convection-permitting ensembles
- Physical consistency of perturbations
- Stochastic parametrisation closures
- Surface interface uncertainties (atmosphere-land/ocean/wave/sea-ice)

The Helsinki Commission (HELCOM) Stakeholder Conference 2022 (HSC2022) will be held online on 9-10 March 2022, in conjunction with Baltic Earth and Germany.
Centered around the theme of climate change in the Baltic Sea, HSC2022 is part of the efforts to disseminate knowledge on the regional effects of climate change. The HSC2022 will allow to gather fresh views on climate change mitigation and adaptation from policy makers and all other stakeholders in the Baltic Sea region.
HELCOM will mainly focus on the policy aspects of climate change.
Baltic Earth, a GEWEX Regional Hydroclimate Project (RHP), will address the underlying science related to climate change. Baltic Earth is co-leading the EN CLIME network with HELCOM and has co-developed the Baltic Sea Climate Change Fact Sheet.
Germany (through UBA) will focus on the management aspects of climate change, including adaptation and mitigation measures. Germany currently holds the chairmanship of HELCOM, and climate change is one of the priorities of its tenure.
