8th G-VAP workshop is hosted by AEMET.
The overall objective of the workshop will be to discuss results from the various G-VAP science activities, to discuss results achieved within the wider community, including latest retrieval developments, to foster cooperation and exchange and to discuss the next steps of G-VAP, in particular potential new activities.

The 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 5th national OzEWEX workshop will explore how well we understand stores and fluxes of water and energy at the landscape scale subject human influences including greenhouse gas emissions, landscape, soil and vegetation modification, water extraction and river regulation.
We want to invite you to a side meeting that focuses on the GEWEX-led Grand Challenge on “Water for the Food Baskets” at the upcoming AGU Fall Meeting in Washington, DC. The aim of this meeting is to foster community engagement and to develop strategies for future projects and collaborations.
The uncertainties about interactions between aerosols, clouds, precipitation, and climate (ACPC) are a fundamental limitation to our ability to understand past climate change and to project future warming reliably.The ACPC initiative aims at a better scientific understanding of these interactions at a fundamental level. The goal is to identify, disentangle, and quantify signals of impacts of aerosol perturbations on clouds, precipitation, and radiation, taking into account adjustments and feedback processes by synergistically exploiting observations and models across scales.
The scientific program is from Wed, 24 April, 9 am to Fri, 26 April, 3pm, and session topics include:
- Deep clouds I : Houston modelling study results
- Deep clouds II : TRACER field campaign preparations
- Shallow clouds: Early results on Southern-Oceans and other relevant topics
Each session topics is followed by extended discussion time for which short pitch presentations are also allowed.

Building on the previous International Precipitation Conferences (IPCs), IPC12 aims to bring together the international community to integrate research, discuss challenges and opportunities, and craft future directions. Innovative contributions are sought that focus on three main themes:
- estimation of precipitation from multiple sensors;
- water cycle dynamics and predictive modeling at local to global scales; and
- hydrologic impacts of precipitation extremes and anticipated change.
The Soroosh Sorooshian Hydrometeorology Symposium
A special feature of IPC12 will be to honor the pioneering career of Distinguished Professor Soroosh Sorooshian in advancing hydrometeorology research and applications, providing community leadership, and mentoring a cadre of colleagues over the past four decades.The Soroosh Sorooshian Hydrometeorology Symposium will be integrated through IPC12 with special lectures, events and celebrations.

The Working Group on Numerical Experimentation (WGNE), jointly established by the WCRP Joint Scientific Committee (WCRP-JSC) and the WMO Commission for Atmospheric Sciences (CAS), which is responsible for WWRP and GAW, has the responsibility of fostering the development of atmospheric circulation models for use in weather, climate, water and environmental prediction on all time scales and diagnosing and resolving shortcomings.
WWRP advances society’s ability to cope with high impact weather through research focused on improving the accuracy, lead time and utilization of weather prediction. The WWRP includes working groups, expert team. The function of the Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) provides the overall scientific guidance for the programme, identifies priorities and makes recommendations on new projects for the WWRP, such as High Impact Weather, Polar Prediction, Subseasonal to Seasonal Prediction, Forecast and Research Demonstration (FDPs and RDPs).
