The aim of this research school is to provide students with an overview of state-of the-art research in the Arctic from observations through process understanding and model development to application. The research school will have five sessions addressing:
- Observational capabilities: including in-situ measurements and satellite remote sensing, field campaigns and operational resources;
- Dynamics of the Arctic environment: what we know about the most important processes and how we include them in climate models;
- Surface coupling: a review of the multitude of surface coupling processes in the Arctic and current approaches to integrating this understanding in models at different scales;
- Climateprojectionandprediction:anthropogenically-forcedandnaturalclimatechangeintheArctic, perspective from the 21st century and opportunities with climate prediction;
- Modelling for Arctic applications: using climate model results in other domains with examples from simulating marine primary production, future shipping routes, and other industrial activities in ice covered waters.
IRS 2020 will provide a comprehensive international forum for presenting and discussing recent research achievements and technological developments on atmospheric radiation and related topics covering a wide spectrum of topics. Internationally recognized senior scientists, young scientists, and students will have a unique opportunity to discuss hot scientific issues, exchange new ideas and establish far-reaching collaborations
We invite Early Career Scientists (ECS) at PostDoc level for an ECS workshop to discuss how you address recent soil research challenges through ongoing research projects. Contributions from the fields but not limited to biogeoscience, climate, hydrological and critical zone science are welcome. After a short introduction, participants dissolve in groups of 4-5 people to identify and work on specific questions. With the skills and experience brought to the table, we identify common ground and shape a roadmap for solving state-of-the-art research questions. Participants will leave with a common understanding of research agendas and a path forward to develop a joint white paper.
The workshop nurtures future soil research talents through stimulating international collaboration beyond projects.
Event aim:
- Networking and experience exchange in a dynamic atmosphere
- Cross-fertilization of research projects
- Identify the most urgent gaps and research questions at the intersection of climate-land-biology
- AGU Preparation & follow-up activities
Join us at the Water Isotopes and Climate Workshop in Boulder, Colorado this October to develop new strategies for applying isotope ratios towards understanding and predicting the water cycle’s role in climate variability and change. Workshop topics are likely to include (but are not limited to):
- Performing paleoclimate data model comparisons for water-isotope based proxy systems, including paleoclimate data assimilation schema
- Improving observational networks for water isotopes in the ocean, biosphere and atmosphere
- Challenges and advantages of incorporating stable water isotope physics in GCMs
- Using water isotopes to evaluate and improve model physics and parameterizations
- Understanding the relationship between water isotopes and the large-scale circulation of the atmosphere and ocean
- Evaluating atmosphere-land surface and atmosphere-biosphere interactions
- Investigating the global hydrologic cycle, including continental recycling and atmospheric moisture transport
- Elucidating the roles of water vapor, clouds, and precipitation processes in controlling climate sensitivity
- Understanding internal climate variability from sub-seasonal to centennial time-scales.
- Integrating paleoclimate data sets with modern observations and climate models toward improved understanding of climate variability and change.
The workshop aims to bring together scientists to overcome the barriers in hydrological studies, including monitoring, modelling and forecasting. Both water quantity and quality issues will be discussed. We hope that covering the different facets of hydrology will help us to develop a more integrated understanding of the interactions between the water, energy and matter cycles, and the direct and indirect anthropogenic effects.
Objectives:
- to review recent scientific contributions to assess past, current and future changes of the water cycle,
- to share the experience of hydrological and hydrochemical monitoring, using different tools and approaches,
- to review recent developments in hydrological modelling in the Baltic Sea basin and neighboring domains, and
- to discuss water quality issues and waste water treatment projects in the Baltic Sea basin.
The main goals of the Training School are:
- To bring together young researchers in the field of Remote Sensing/Earth Observation from different countries surrounding the Baltic Sea
- To offer early stage scientists hands-on training in a relaxed informal atmosphere
- To provide young scientists with new perspectives and inspirations for their own projects
- To have renowned keynote speakers give insights into current hot topics in the area
100th AMS Annual Meeting theme: “The AMS Past, Present and Future: Linking Information to Knowledge to Society (LINKS).”
LINKS applies to research, broadcast, WX service & other government services, industry applications, risk management, education, policy, communications and watch/warning responses, building links across technologies, links across research & applications, and more.Asia Climate Forum is the dedicated climate change & environmental services event for Asia, Africa and the Pacific Islands. It comprises three complementary events – the seventh edition of InterMET Asia, the third InterFLOOD Asia and InterAIR Asia.
For 2020, Asia Climate Forum will be part of CleanEnviro Summit Singapore (CleanEnviro SG) 2020, organised by the Singapore National Environment Agency (NEA), and also co-located with Singapore International Water Week (SIWW) and World Cities Summit (WCS) – with an anticipated total attendance of more than 25,000 participants from across the region.
The workshop will explore the impacts of proposed 5G service in the 24 GHz band on remote sensing of atmospheric water vapor in the 23.6-24.0 GHz band. It will bring together experts in meteorology, remote sensing, and telecommunications from public, private, and academic sectors to inform U.S. decision makers about allocating the 24 GHz band and to provide input to the November 2019 World Radiocommunication Conference.
The four-day workshop will be organized about two main science topics:
(1) The role of atmospheric dynamics in climate prediction and change. In particular, the DynVarMIP output request will allow for a first complete assessment of atmospheric momentum and heat transport in CMIP climate models, including the heat and momentum transport associated with subgrid scale boundary layer processes and parameterized gravity wave fluxes.
(2) Stratosphere-troposphere coupling and its role in surface weather predictability. The focus is on sub-seasonal to seasonal (S2S) timescales, where stratospheric processes appear to be important. A goal is to take advantage of ensemble hindcasts by the forecast systems within the S2S project.
The workshop aim is to bring together the climate change and seasonal prediction communities to focus on related questions on (for example), atmospheric teleconnections, blocking events, storm tracks dynamics, and interactions between the stratospheric polar vortex and the tropospheric jets. To this end, we call for analysis of the CMIP experiments, including the DynVarMIP diagnostic request, and of the S2S hindcast experiments. The workshop will include discussion to facilitate coordination of future analysis efforts.
