This workshop will seek to develop a broad, interdisciplinary, and systematic understanding of the current “data situation” across a range of relevant disciplines in the Central Asian region.
Following two introductory presentations, the principal objective of the workshop will be addressed initially via open discussion. The following questions are of particular interest:
- what requirements do users of mountain data have with respect to online database(s)/portal(s) through which mountain data is made searchable and downloadable?,
- which organizations and institutions are major providers of relevant data in the region?,
- what disciplines / regions currently benefit from a good or satisfactory coverage and availability of data (i.e. examples of good practice)? and,
- what are the major gaps in terms of data discoverability, accessibility, and usability that are currently experienced by data users?
- Multi-layer snow modelling and cryosphere-atmosphere interactions in the ECMWF Integrated Forecasting System – Gabriele Arduini (ECMWF)
- Sea Ice Assimilation in Navy Modeling Systems – Richard Allard (NRL-U.S.)
- Melissa Ruiz Vásquez (Max-Planck-Gesellschaft)
- Camille Birman (Météo-France)
- Initialization of Soil Moisture in Numerical Weather Prediction – John P. George (NCMRWF-India)
- TBD

The meeting will include updates on the status and activities at INARCH’s mountain research basins and will be structured around some specific science questions to address as we move into a time when integrated observations, predictions and services have been adopted for mountains by WMO and as our models can better reflect and engage with the research basins to provides answers for regional river basins.
Presentation time slots and discussion panels will be primarily for our core membership. Further details will follow in due course.
The series of workshops ‘Convection-Permitting Climate Modeling’ is devoted to all climate modeling activities at the convection-permitting resolution. This is the resolution where there is no need to parametrize convection and it is solved directly by the dynamics of the atmosphere (namely below 5 km).The workshop series covers global and regional climate modeling from model development to state-of-the-art climatological studies performed at this resolution. It is an open forum to discuss about the newest trends in model development, such as: use of new HPC paradigms as GPU/ARM processors, new coding methodologies and languages, model construction strategies and hardware requirements. It also encompasses discussions around the benefits and added value of using the convection-permitting resolution for climate studies using multiple approaches such as: climate services, story lines, case-studies among others.
In this edition, VI Convection-Permitting Climate Modeling workshop (viCPCMW), the aim is to strengthen the presence of members of the scientific community of impact studies, policy makers and decision makers in aspects related to the adaptation to the projected changes in climate. As well as, be an opportunity to discuss the last advances and newest techniques being used in the area worldwide, with special focus on South America research activities.
The Conference will be on hybrid mode, presential and virtual assistance.

The Analysis, Integration, and Modeling of the Earth System (AIMES), the Earth Commission and the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) Safe Landing Climates Lighthouse Activity warmly invite you to a new discussion series on tipping elements, irreversibility, and abrupt change in the Earth system.
This discussion series aims to advance the knowledge about tipping elements, irreversibility, and abrupt changes in the Earth system. It supports efforts to increase consistency in the treatment of tipping elements in the scientific community, develop a research agenda, and design joint experiments and ideas for a Tipping Element Model Intercomparison Project (TipMip).

The Asian Precipitation Experiment (AsiaPEX) was launched in 2019 as a prospect Regional Hydroclimate Project (RHP) under the Global Energy and Water Exchanges (GEWEX) program and its Hydroclimatology Panel (GHP) and is the successor of the GEWEX RHPs GAME and the MAHASRI.
Under the threat of the climate change due to the global warming, understanding and future projection of the Asian monsoon system have become crucial missions of the hydroclimatological research community. Accordingly, we defined the objectives of AsiaPEX as ”Understanding of Asian land precipitation over diverse hydroclimatological conditions and multiple time scales for better prediction, disaster reduction, and sustainable development”.
To attend the webinar on September 4th at 15:00 hrs IST (09:30 am UTC) visit SAMA YouTube channel.

NASA’s ACTIVATE airborne field mission focuses on aerosol-cloud-meteorology interactions and it will hold an online open data workshop to encourage the use of its observations by the broad community. ACTIVATE is an on-going multi-year mission to collect remote sensing and in situ observations of aerosols, clouds, and the atmosphere using two aircraft centered over the western North Atlantic Ocean. The team is eager to engage more data users and enhance collaboration.
The ACTIVATE open data workshop will be held online, 20-21 October 2021, 9:00 – 11:00 am (EDT). The workshop is free and open to all. For more information on the workshop and how to register, please visit: https://activate.larc.nasa.gov/events/2021-open-data-workshop/.
