The Institute of Atmospheric Sciences and Climate of the National Research Council of Italy (CNR-ISAC) and the University of Naples “Parthenope”, with the technical support from Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) are delighted to announce the 2nd International School on Satellite Meteorology (ISSM).
The Global Flood CrossCutting Initiative brings together research communities that various funding agencies have cultivated to advance flood research and assessment. The goal is to identify opportunities where global collaborations can uniquely advance more approaches to understand flood consequences and identify the data, research infrastructure, and initiatives necessary for impactful partnership on this subject.
To discuss ideas and engage with the community on this important topic and help move this initiative forward, an online meeting is hosted every first Friday of the month at 09:00 am (EDT).

Webinar: The “Earthing” of Weather and Climate Processes: New Studies of Land-Atmosphere Feedback
Speaker: Dr. Volker Wulfmeyer from Institute of Physics and Meteorology University of Hohenheim Stuttgart Germany.
Date & Time: April 1st, 2025, 15:00 UTC
The WCRP Digital Earths Lighthouse Activity will push the co-development of high-resolution Earth-system modeling and the exploitation of billions of observations with digital technologies from the convergence of novel High-Performance Computing (HPC), big data, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) methodologies.
This webinar series will:
- maintain regular and open dialogue between researchers active in the field of developing and evaluating models of the climate system at ultra-high resolution (i.e. km-scale) on global to regional scales for weather, climate and environmental hazard prediction
- showcase research progress, share insights on barriers to progress, and grow understanding on the relative costs and benefits compared with relevant established modelling approaches
- enable horizon scanning of new opportunities to integrate research with new observations, methods in physical modelling and data science, and new technologies
Workshop on Global Precipitation Monitoring in a Joint European Effort
Dates: 14–16 May 2025
Location: Institut Pierre-Simon Laplace (IPSL) in Paris, France
This workshop continues the workshop series on global precipitation monitoring in a joint European effort, and follows the workshop hosted by DWD/CM SAF in March 2024. This workshop in May has the following objectives:
- Bring together experts in the field of precipitation retrievals, data generation and users,
- Gather feedback from users of global precipitation data records such as GIRAFE*,
- Based on updated needs, discuss priorities on improvements of precipitation data.
The following sessions are planned:
- Climate monitoring, climate services and extremes
- Earth’s water cycle
- Multi-sensor, multi-system product generation: from raw data to climate data records and climate indices
The format of the workshop will be oral presentations in plenary sessions. Poster presentations are not foreseen. Output of the workshop will be a report. You are kindly invited to submit an abstract and register via the workshop webpage at https://cmsafprecip.sciencesconf.org/?lang=en
The American Water Resources Association (AWRA) 2025 Spring Conference: Development Risks & Challenges in Changing Climate Conditions is co-hosted with the AWRA Alaska State Section. The main object of the conference is for participants to connect and contribute to important conversations about impacts to the cultural and socioeconomic health of the planet and all life as we know it related to water and changing climate conditions. Climate change is increasingly causing severe weather events, changes in weather patterns and altering hydrologic cycles. These increasing uncertainties are posing significant risks to current and future development.
GEWEX Session
Topical Session C – A Broad-Based Community Approach to Modeling, Observations, and Prediction of Water Resources Across Climate Timescales over the continental United States
Session Description:
The Global Energy and Water Exchanges (GEWEX) core project of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) is developing a so-called Regional Hydroclimate Project (H2US) over the continental US to bring the observational, modeling, and social science communities together to advance the state of the science and our predictive capabilities to better characterize the water, energy, and carbon cycles. Submissions are invited that explore co-design, inter- and transdisciplinary approaches to water cycle science for a better understanding and quantification of water resources now and in the future. Especially relevant are papers that explore ways to evaluate, improve and integrate existing surface observational networks across regional to continental scales, in the context of terrestrial-based and spaceborne remote sensing, to support of Earth system modeling of the water-cycle, and regional, national and global operational weather and hydroclimate monitoring and modelling efforts. An outcome of this work is envisioned as a ‘Digital Earth’ representation of the water cycle over the US to better support the water resources community.

Meeting objectives
- Share and discuss progress of existing projects and activities;
- Determine if there are missing elements in the current portfolio of GLASS projects, exposing emerging scientific questions and areas where we should be promoting active coordinated research projects or synergies between existing GLASS projects;
- Discuss areas for closer collaboration with projects and activities of other GEWEX panels
- Discuss structural changes at the World Climate Research Program and their implications for GLASS
- Determine how GLASS can best contribute to the Lighthouse Activities.

The 2025 CFMIP-CloudSense Meeting on Circulation, Clouds, and Climate will be held July 7-10 at the University of Exeter, Exeter, UK.
This 4-day conference will focus on the following topics, considering models, observations, and laboratory experiments on a wide range of scales:
- Cloud processes: What processes control cloud phase, cloud radiative effects, and precipitation?
- Cloud microphysics: What processes control cloud microphysics, including cloud-aerosol interactions and their impact on climate?
- Circulation and climate dynamics: How do clouds couple to circulations and what role does this coupling play in weather and climate?
- Climate feedbacks and sensitivity: How do clouds respond to external perturbations? How do clouds influence climate sensitivity and patterns of change?
- Energy Imbalance: How do we measure, model, and understand the factors controlling Earth’s energy imbalance?
- Convection: What processes control shallow and deep convection including organization, and how do these interactions affect climate and weather?
The conference will consist of oral presentations, poster sessions, and social/networking events. The conference will be held in-person only.
Please use this google form to submit your abstract for the meeting (DEADLINE extended to Friday April 11, 2025 @23:59 EST).
