This week-long event celebrates WCRP’s 40th anniversary.
Driven by increases in computing power, the treatment of small-scale physical processes in atmospheric models is at an exciting juncture. Some recent approaches (e.g., higher-order closure) are being implemented operationally, and others (e.g., machine learning) are being explored in earnest. To discuss these alternatives and future possibilities, the National Science Foundation and the National Center for Atmospheric Research are sponsoring a tutorial and workshop on advanced physical parameterizations for atmospheric models.
The tutorial will run 2.5 days (June 10-12th), and will feature lectures describing the physical parameterizations used in advanced atmosphere models, with a focus on the Community Atmosphere Model version 6, released in 2018. The tutorial will also allow attendees to explore the parameterizations through practical sessions with simplified models. Tutorial presenters will include CAM parameterization developers (Larson, Gettelman, Bacmeister) and NCAR staff.
The deadline to apply for the Tutorial Application is March 31, 2019.
The tutorial will be followed by a 2.5-day workshop (June 12-14th) on new and emerging topics in physical parameterization of the atmosphere for weather and climate models. Invited speakers will review current ideas and methods for parameterization, and explore new approaches including machine learning and integration with finer scale models. There will be ample time for discussion, with a goal of having synthesis and recommendations on promising avenues for future science, research, and model development. Students will be expected to attend the full 5 days.
The deadline to apply for the Workshop Application is April 30, 2019.
Invited Workshop Speakers include: Peter Caldwell (LLNL), Jack Kain (NOAA), Joao Tiexeira (NASA-JPL), Falco Judt (NCAR), Tapio Schneider (Caltech), Ken Carslaw (Leeds), Andrew Ackerman (NASA-GISS), Michael Pritchard (U. Irvine

Evaluating the responses of mountains to climate and other changes, and their resilience as social-ecological systems, requires the consideration of multiple and mutually interacting stressors. The IMC 2019 aims to encourage in-depth cross-disciplinary discussions towards a new understanding of mountain systems, their responses and resiliencies.
Asia Oceania Geosciences Society (AOGS) was established in 2003 to promote geosciences and its application for the benefit of humanity, specifically in Asia and Oceania and with an overarching approach to global issues.
AOGS holds annual conventions providing a unique opportunity of exchanging scientific knowledge and discussion to address important geo-scientific issues among academia, research institution and public.
This is a special opportunity for participants from Canada and from around the world to come together and share their science and culture. 2019 marks the 100th anniversary of IUGG; we will look back on the accomplishments of the previous century of Earth and space science research, and forward to the next century of scientific advancement. Join us for a host of scientific activities, including special public lectures, keynote Union lectures and a wide variety of themed sessions.
The EGU General Assembly 2019, taking place in Vienna (Austria) on 7–12 April 2019, will bring together geoscientists from all over the world to one meeting covering all disciplines of the Earth, planetary, and space sciences.
The Annual Meetings of the EMS aim at fostering exchange and cross-fertilization of ideas in the meteorological, climatological, and related communities. Facilitating interactions, integration, and engagement of science, applications, and actors is our core objective. The session programme highlights these goals and offers many opportunities for enhancing collaboration across the entire weather and climate enterprise (public, private, academic, users, and NGOs) to benefit societies in Europe and worldwide.
In addition, a particular focus of the 2019 Annual Meeting, reflecting the interests and activities of the host institutions, will be on Arctic (and Antarctic) issues and challenges.
Organized together with the 3rd GEWEX Workshop on Convection-Permitting Climate Modeling.
This symposium will focus on scientific and technical challenges related to km-scale global and regional climate modeling. It will bring together scientists from the areas of climate modeling, computer sciences and numerical methods – with the aim to address climate and weather time scales, the water cycle and extreme events, as well as emerging supercomputing platforms and software strategies.

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.
Applications and all supporting material (including letters of recommendation) must be submitted by April 1, 2019.
The Sustainable Water Future Programme (Water Future) of Future Earth is organizing the first international conference of Water Future titled ‘Towards a Sustainable Water Future’ in Bengaluru, India.
The conference will address the current state of global water resource challenges, future pathways and scenarios, and different technological, institutional solutions to accelerate the implementation of water-related Sustainable Development Goals and the 2030 Agenda targets with an aim of ‘leaving no one behind’.
The conference will be a forerunner to a high-level political event called the Budapest Water Summit scheduled a month after this conference. The outcome of the conference is expected to be a valuable input to this summit in Budapest.
