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 Cycle 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 goal of this workshop is to discuss and share the latest improvements of atmospheric parameterizations for the representation of clouds with a focus on turbulence, convection, cloud, microphysics and radiation. This concerns any type of models: regional or global models with numerical weather prediction or climate applications.
The workshop is organized in the framework of the High-Tune project (http://www.umr-cnrm.fr/high-tune/) and follows, in the spirit, the 2017 Delft meeting on the future of cumulus convection and the 2019 Paracon conference. It will be organized around with only one plenary session with a mixture of invited and contributed presentations and poster sessions.
The 6th OzEWEX workshop will discuss the science and modelling technology requirements to help inform policy decisions related to water management, including identifying research and investment priorities to understand the historical, near-term and long-term movement of water throughout the basin. The topic will be approached from a biophysical perspective but also from social, economic, ecological, engineering and policy perspectives.
The format will include invited presentations, facilitated discussion and opportunities for networking.
This GMMIP international meeting will focus on new progress in GMMIP activity, monsoon modelling and research, will address new results of assessment of monsoon modelling, variability, attribution, predictability and projection, especially from the CMIP6 experiments, and will make plans of modelling and analysis in the next two years in support of the IPCC AR6.
Digital Belt and Road Program (DBAR) is an international science program for the sustainable development of the Belt and Road Region using Big Earth Data. DBAR advocates for the integration of Big Earth Data applications in the design, planning and monitoring of different aspects of human activities.
Themes of the 4th DBAR Conference:
- For SDG 2: Big Earth Data Applications in Agriculture and Food Security
- For SDG 6: Big Earth Data Applications in Sustainable Water Resource Management
- For SDG 11: Big Earth Data Applications in Urban Environment and Sustainable Urban Development
- For SDG 11: Big Earth Data Applications in Natural and Cultural Heritage Conservation
- For SDG 13: Big Earth Data Applications in Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change
- For SDG 14: Big Earth Data Applications Sustainable Management of Coast and Sea
- For SDG 15: Big Earth Data Applications in Environmental Change and Sustainability
- For SDG 15: Observations of Changes in High Mountain and Arctic Cold Regions and Adaptation strategies
- Data Infrastructure and Platform for Bit Earth Data
- Big Earth Data to Support the Assessment of SDG indicators

For the 10th anniversary of the Nansen Tutu Centre for Marine Environmental Research, a symposium is organized with the following themes:
- regional oceanography
- operational oceanography
- the role of the ocean on climate and weather
- regional marine ecosystems
- air-sea interaction
- the Southern Ocean
- biogeochemistry and the CO2 cycle
Parallel to the symposium, the Ocean Observation Panel for Climate meeting (WMO, GOOS and WCRP) will take place.
This year’s workshop will focus on extreme heat, one of the climate risk areas, to facilitate in-depth discussions. The workshop will focus on the following questions:
- What are the most critical problems for decision makers when it comes to the impacts of extreme heat on air quality, water resources, environmental quality, agriculture, energy, transportation, public health, and coastal ocean resources?
- What climate information and Earth system modeling capabilities are required for addressing those problems?
- What capabilities already exist, especially in terms of observing, monitoring, understanding of the forcing and mechanisms, modeling, prediction and application products?
- What are the gaps and opportunities for further research and engagement?
From 28–30 October 2019, a workshop will be held to discuss priorities for the future direction of the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project – Next Generation (ISCCP-NG), which will be held at EUMETSAT in Darmstadt, Germany. The local organization of the workshop is led by EUMETSAT in coordination with partners.
