This virtual workshop will be held from 5-7 April 2022 and aims to review capabilities of existing technology and the capacity for their use in surface monitoring, data assimilation, and modeling applications. This in turn should be used to provide expert recommendations and coordination guidance for surface observations. The International Surface Working Group (ISWG) will:
- Snow, ice, and cryosphere-atmosphere interaction
- Vegetation and land-atmosphere fluxes
- Soil moisture, river-discharge, and water cycle
The last main point of emphasis for the 4th IESWG will be to prepare our recommendations and input to the CGMS WGII.

This Summer School is devoted to runoff prediction in ungauged basins (PUB), i.e., predicting water runoff at locations where no runoff data are available. This lack of data presents considerable challenges to catchment managers who require information on water flows for decision making. This course, based on the book “Runoff Prediction in Ungauged Basins: Synthesis across Processes, Places and Scales”, will provide hydrologists with the theory and methods to address this critical challenge. The collection of speakers will bring together results from individual location-based studies and show how a comparative approach can be applied to learn from the differences and similarities between catchments around the world along gradients of of climate and landscape features.
Masters and Ph.D. students researching catchment hydrology and practicing hydrologists who are challenged by making predictions in the absence of runoff data are encouraged to attend.
The 10th International Cloud Modeling Workshop will be held in Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), Pune, India, 27th to 31st July 2020.
The workshop cases that will be discussed, are:
- PI Chamber Simulation Case: Modeling Aerosol-Cloud-turbulence Interactions in the Cloud Chamber
- Aerosol effect in deep convective clouds under different monsoon environments over the Indian peninsula: a CAIPEEX-Case study
- Isolated cumulus congestus based on SCMS campaign: comparison between Eulerian bin and Lagrangian particle-based microphysics
- Convection in Strong Vertical Wind Shear: The 2 Aug COPE Case
The ICCP conferences are organised every four years by the International Commission on Clouds and Precipitation (ICCP) together with a host institution. ICCP is a commission of the International Association of Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences (IAMAS), an association of IUGG (International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics).
The goal of the conference is to provide a venue for presenting scientific research and advances in the area of clouds and precipitation. The ICCP conference also strives to enhance the exchange of ideas within the international community on clouds and precipitation.
The 2020 Joint Meeting will keep its theme: “For a Borderless World of Geoscience.” The conference is scheduled to be held from May 24 (Sun) to 28 (Fri), 2020 at the Makuhari Messe International Convention Complex in Chiba City. A full range of commemorative events and special projects are also being planned for the 30th anniversary of the first Japan Earth and Planetary Science Joint Meeting, the predecessor group to the Japan Geosciences Union.
The organizers expect that many interesting sessions will be proposed the leaders of the next generation, students and early career researchers, and important research results will be presented with lively discussions. They also hope that the 2020 joint meeting will serve as the foundation for the next 5 years to a decadal span―it hinges on your enthusiastic participation and cooperation.
The scope of this Workshop is to address scientific and technical challenges related to convection-permitting climate modeling (km-scale horizontal grid spacing). The aim of the three-day meeting is to foster collaborations and synergies to work on this challenging topic as a community. There will be oral and poster sessions, several invited talks on key challenges, and multiple opportunities for discussions and networking.

The objective of this workshop is to:
- Advance scientific understanding of multi-year predictability
- Characterize physical and dynamical processes in the coupled climate system, including the oceans, land surface, and cryosphere, that can be exploited to improve multi-year forecasts
- Highlight the challenges for producing skillful multi-year predictions with state-of-the-art earth system models
- Construct a framework to identify user requirements for multi-year predictions that will help inform predictability research and model development
- Identify knowledge gaps, determine future research direction and foster new initiatives and collaborations by bringing together research, operational, and applications community
- Assess specific observational needs for improving multi-year predictions that are not currently met
- Identify prototype applications of multi-year forecasts and assess their utility
The conference will cover the topics of Baltic Earth, in particular highlighting the Baltic Earth Grand Challenges as defined by the Baltic Earth Science Plan. The grand topic of the conference „Earth system changes and Baltic Sea coasts“ refers to the manifold aspects of the changing Earth system of the Baltic Sea region, in the atmosphere, on land and in the sea. Climate change and the associated sea level rise, but also other human activities puts a particular pressure on the coasts of the southern Baltic Sea, of which the Hel peninsula and the Polish coasts in general are exemplary. Land-sea interactions and human uses shape and modify the coasts all over the Baltic Sea.

The aims of the conference are: 1) exchange of the most recent results of the scientific research in meteorology; 2) strengthening communication with the users of meteorological data, along with the general public and media; 3) strengthening cooperation between meteorologists and other scientists and, 4) as promotion and popularization of meteorology.
This prestigious two-week event, from 3-14 February 2020, offers around twenty selected applicants an opportunity to work closely with peers and experts from academia and government agencies to develop advanced understanding and analytical skills.
