The purpose of ACCESS is to bring together young researchers in atmospheric chemistry and representatives of the principal federal government agencies that fund atmospheric chemistry research to engage in scientific discussion and interaction. The meetings will forge future professional relationships, and the entire atmospheric science community will benefit by becoming more aware of innovations in atmospheric chemistry through presentations by ACCESS participants and through these interactions.
Attendance at ACCESS is limited to 25 participants, who are selected by a committee based on the significance and achievement of the applicant’s thesis or postdoctoral research, the application, and a letter of recommendation from the applicant’s primary thesis advisor or postdoctoral advisor.
The application Deadline is 31 March 2021.

The GEWEX Global Atmospheric System Studies Panel (GASS) will hold its 3rd Pan-GASS Meeting, Understanding and Modeling Atmospheric Processes (UMAP 2022), at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Monterey, CA, USA, from 25–29 July 2022.
UMAP 2022 aims to bring together weather and climate scientists, including both observationalists and modelers, to discuss the key issues of atmospheric science. The program will include all aspects and methods of model development from deterministic numerics to stochastic forcing; process modeling to parametrization; observational constraints to diagnostic techniques; and idealized modeling to operational forecasting and climate predictions. The purpose of the conference is to discuss progress in understanding atmospheric processes and representing them in models, to coordinate current initiatives and make plans for the future.

The Workshop of the Inter-Commission Committee on “Geodesy for Climate Research” (ICCC) runs from 29-31 March 2021 online, and is free to participants. The goals of the meeting are to:
Highlight the potential of geodesy for climate research by showcasing and discussing climate-related studies that make use of geodetic observations, and
Bring together geodetic and climate communities to facilitate exchange of their experience and possibly establish a mutual cooperation.
Presentations on all aspects related to using geodesy for climate research are welcome. The meeting format will be a mix of live presentations and asynchronous content, generally with a strong emphasis on virtual discussions.
Due to the COVID19 pandemic, the The 2020 GEWEX Hydroclimatology Panel (GHP) meeting will be held online.
The 2020 GHP meeting will be used to review the state of the current ongoing actions (Regional Hydroclimate Projects, Cross-Cut actions and the links with the Data Centers). GHP participants will evaluate ongoing and planned GHP activities and asses future actions to ensure that the Panel contributes effectively to the leading role that GEWEX plays in the hydrological and climate sciences and related modeling activities.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the annual The Global Land/Atmosphere System Study (GLASS) Panel meeting will be held Online.
This year’s annual GLASS Panel Meeting will review progress of the GLASS working groups and projects, as well as those with similar related research interests.
The NOAA-DOE Precipitation Processes and Predictability Workshop will focus on advancing understanding of precipitation predictability and physical processes key to precipitation biases. The workshop will bring together the observational, modeling, and research communities to address the following questions:
- What are the sources of predictability that have the biggest influences on precipitation at weather, subseasonal-to-seasonal to multi-decadal timescales, including extremes?
- What are the key physical processes that have the strongest imprint on the model biases and precipitation predictions and projections?
- How can we most effectively take advantage of existing observations and data (satellite and in-situ) to advance process-level understanding of the key processes and predictability?
- What are the gaps and needs for targeted observations and process studies to improve understanding and model representations of those key processes?
- How do we benefit from national and international collaboration to make significant progress?
The workshop is virtual and runs from 10:00 – 15:00 hrs EDT. Please visit the workshop website to learn more about the workshop and register for attendance.
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. In particular the meeting will examine how well observations of the global Earth cycles (the global energy balance, global water and carbon cycles, and explaining changing conditions of the biosphere) support users’ needs for climate data. The outputs will provide inputs into the next GCOS implementation plan which will make recommendations to meteorological networks, major observing systems and satellite agencies and also it will be presented to the UNFCCC in 2022 as a contribution towards the UNFCCC’s Global Stocktake.

2020 Virtual CFMIP Meeting on Clouds, Precipitation, Circulation, and Climate Sensitivity will be held virtually and at local hubs.

GDAP was organized to bring together theoretical and experimental insights into the radiative interactions and climate feedbacks associated with cloud processes. The central question that governs the GDAP mission is: “how sensitive is the Earth’s climate to changes in radiative and other forcings?” Answering this question will enable improved prediction of transient natural climate variations, such as El Niño, and provide better understanding of the consequences of natural and human-induced climate changes.
This year’s annual GDAP Meeting will review progress of the ongoing GDAP Assessments and Projects. As one of the four Panels of the Global Energy and Water Exchanges (GEWEX), a core program of the World Climate Research Program (WCRP), the GEWEX Science Questions and the WCRP Grand Challenges will be at the heart of these discussions.
The WMO Data Conference aims to develop a common understanding among entities from all sectors of society of the roles, requirements, and arrangements for international exchange of observations and other data for monitoring and prediction of the Earth System environment, including weather, climate, and water.
