The Global Climate Observing System (GCOS), with the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), and supported by European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), will be holding a conference that aims to assess how well the current global climate observing system supports current and near-term user needs for climate information. The outputs will provide inputs into the next GCOS implementation plan, which will make recommendations to meteorological networks, major observing systems, and satellite agencies.

From 29 June to 1 July 2021, ECMWF will host a 3-day virtual workshop on Global hydrological modelling and forecasting.
The workshop will be organized under the umbrella of ECMWF, the Copernicus services CEMS and C3S, the Hydrological Ensemble Prediction EXperiment (HEPEX) and the Global Flood Partnership (GFP).
Day 1 aims at presenting and discussing recent advances in global and large-scale hydrological modelling used in water cycle predictions up to medium-range, and in monitoring applications such as regional and global reanalyses. It will discuss the challenges involved in attaining skilful estimations of the water fluxes and reservoirs in the range of 1 to 25 km resolutions, making best use of Earth Observations to calibrate, validate or verify the model output.
Day 2 and 3 will focus on connecting large scale to local needs and decision making, as well as catchment-scale advances in hydrometeorological forecasting, addressing challenges of hydrological ensemble forecasting and monitoring.

The European Space Agency, in the context of the “Earth Observations Science for Society” Programme, and CNES are organising a sequel event to Hydrospace2015, called 4th Space for Hydrology Workshop – “Inland Water Storage and Runoff: Modeling, In Situ Data and Remote Sensing”, Monday 7 – Friday 11 June 2021, hosted at ESA-ESRIN, Frascati, Italy. This time around the Hydrospace Workshop is organised in collaboration with the GEO Global Water Sustainability Initiative (GEOGloWS).
The aim of getting together during 4~4.5 days is to strengthen the collaboration between the four critical water communities: in situ, modelling and space observation scientists as well as “non-scientific” users such as water managers to address the needs of the application community.
The expected outcome of the workshop is to define an action plan for the future and converge on recommendations from the Scientific Community.

Theme of 102nd AMS annual meeting is Environmental Security: weather, water and climate for a more secure world.
