The Water and Climate Coalition is a multi-stakeholder initiative under the SDG 6 Accelerator framework that is aiming to provide tangible action, activities and policy support, for an integrated water and climate agenda with a special focus on data, information, monitoring systems and operational capacity.
Objectives of this workshop
- Discuss the concept of Operational Global and Regional Hydrological Modelling Community
- Outline existing gaps in operational hydrological modelling in a broader perspective.
- Agree on concrete joint activities in the testing and study phase (Please refer the attached concept note).

A virtual and free workshop on evapotranspiration science, as part of the AmeriFlux Year of Water initiative. Based on community input gathered during the AmeriFlux Annual Meeting, the workshop will focus on 4 key topics:
- ET partitioning: discuss and synthesize the advantages and limitations of various field-based methods capable of evapotranspiration partitioning.
- ET remote sensing: connections between flux tower science and remote sensing, including a training component for learners on accessing and using some remotely sensed ET data.
- Integrating in-situ water water flux measurements to advance ET science: water cycle measurement methods and their challenges/advantages, and opportunities for combining different measurement approaches.
- ET modeling: integrating ET models and observations to examine and attribute variability in ET across temporal and spatial scales.

For this third edition of the International Symposium “Climate Change & Water”, drought extreme will be highlighted. Also, as far as this crop is particularly important in the Loire-Valley, a focus on wine production is proposed.
The event will follow the lead of the 1st Climate Change and Water conference and address the latest developments in research on extreme events, evolution and acceleration of the effects of climate change on the water cycle, understanding extreme weather events and forecasting, adaptation to climate change, management, governance and strategy.

Following on from the first event in this discussion series, where the topic of tipping elements, irreversibility, and abrupt change in the Earth system was introduced (video here), we now present a second event focused on the role of the Amazon. The event will take place on 29 November 2021, 17:00-18:30 CET.
This event will include two excellent talks:
Is the Amazon Rainforest near a Tipping Point? – Carlos Nobre
Amazon Forest dieback in CMIP6 Earth System Models – Peter Cox
The talks will be followed by 20 minutes of formal discussions and, for those who wish to stay on, a further 25 minutes of informal discussions on the topic.
This discussion series is a joint activity of 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.
Please register for the event here: https://tipping-points-amazon.eventbrite.co.uk
The event will be recorded.
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).
