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.
Asian Precipitation Experiments (AsiaPEX) is a recent launched prospective GEWEX RHP (Regional Hydroclimatological project) focusing on Asian monsoon, based on achievements of the MAHASRI project (2006-2016).
Main objective of AsiaPEX is understanding of Asian land precipitation over diverse hydroclimatological conditions for better prediction, disaster reduction and sustainable development.
The focus of the Kick-Off Conference is to exchange ideas associated with all aspects of hydroclimatological research. They range all main objectives, scientific approaches and key questions of the AsiaPex project.
The deadline for submitting your application is 24 June 2019. More information and details can be found at https://unibuc.ro/conferences/bucss2019/#About.
Arctic Futures 2050 will explore the opportunities and challenges for deeper dialogue between scientists, Indigenous knowledge holders, and those making and influencing policy. Our goal is to facilitate such dialogue and avenues to sustained collaboration. To that end, this conference asks:
- What do we know, and what do we need to know about the Arctic, and why does it matter?
- What challenges confront policy makers in the rapidly changing Arctic?
- What basic research is needed to inform responses to Arctic change?
- What applied research is needed to inform responses to change?
- What tools can facilitate informing policy making with science and Indigenous knowledge?
- What opportunities exist for partnerships between policy makers and scientists?
Overarching Workshop Questions:
- What are the scientific and technological frontiers in monitoring and modeling regional groundwater recharge and flow in various regions of the globe?
- How can remotely sensed data be utilized in regions where in situ measurements, observations, and instrumentation may be particularly difficult?
Workshop Goals:
- Assess regional freshwater budgets under major use scenarios (e.g., agriculture, industry, municipal);
- Examine state of the art and research frontiers in characterizing groundwater aquifers, including residence time, quantity, flow, depletion, and recharge, using remotely sensed observations and proxy data;
- Discuss groundwater model uncertainties and methods for mitigating them using sparse ground observations or data and other approaches; and
- Consider our ability to detect which water management strategies (e.g., water reuse, irrigation efficiencies, desalination) that affect groundwater flow and recharge are being used and any changes in their use over time.
