2021 Global Water Futures (GWF) Annual Open Science Meeting
Dates: 17-19 May 2021
Abstract Submission Deadline: 21 April 2021 (extended)
The GWF2021 Annual Open Science Meeting will feature a variety of virtual programming to enable shared learning and insightful discussions through key events, including keynote talks, panels, and an interactive poster session. These will be complemented by parallel sessions, networking, social activities, and workshops for GWF’s Young Professionals. The meeting’s creative programming will engage both researchers and stakeholders in two-way learning and exchanges.
Abstract submission is open to abstracts aligned with the meeting themes:
Themes
The themes are supported by the following cross-cutting challenges and opportunities:
WCRP-WWRP Symposium on Data Assimilation and Reanalysis
Dates: 13-18 September 2021
Location: Bonn, Germany
Abstract Submission Deadline: 30 April 2021
The overall objective of WCRP-WWRP Symposium on Data Assimilation and Reanalysis, with local organization let by DWD is to review latest developments and address issues of common interest to data assimilation and reanalysis communities, such as Earth system and coupled approaches, ensemble techniques and covariances, process studies, handling of systematic errors, diagnostics and verification, emerging AI and Machine learning techniques, open science and collaborative platforms.
The main following topics will be covered during the symposium:
ESA Water Vapour CCI User workshop
Dates: 14-18 June 2021
Location: Online meeting
Abstract Submission Deadline: 5 May 2021
Background
The Water Vapour Climate Change Initiative (WV_cci) is a project of the European Space Agency (ESA) with the overall goal to generate climate data records (CDRs) of atmospheric water vapor for use in climate applications. The project develops, validates, and releases quality-controlled, long-term CDRs of total column water vapor (TCWV) and water vapor profiles in the stratosphere (2D), as well as a five-year data record of water vapor profiles in the troposphere and lower stratosphere (3D).
Objectives
The aim of the workshop is to bring together the broader water vapor community, including those interested in the generation of water vapor CDRs and data users (such as climate modelers and NWP researchers) in order to discuss the most recent scientific applications and challenges in processing and using water vapor CDRs.
Topics of the workshop include:
2nd Climate Observation Conference
Dates: 30 August–3 September 2021
Location: Online meeting
Abstract Submission Deadline: 14 June 2021
The Global Climate Observing System (GCOS), with the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), and supported by European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), will be holding a conference that aims to assess how well the current global climate observing system supports current and near-term user needs for climate information. The outputs will provide inputs into the next GCOS implementation plan, which will make recommendations to meteorological networks, major observing systems, and satellite agencies.
Sustained observations of the global climate system are essential for understanding, predicting, mitigating and adapting to climate change. Progress in understanding and attributing climate change has been largely based on climate observations. In order to continue improving this understanding, it is vital to make further progress towards achieving a fully implemented, sustainable, global observing system for climate.

The journal Water (IF: 2.544, ISSN 2073-4441) will feature a Special Issue on “Hydrological Extremes in a Warming Climate: Nonstationarity, Uncertainties and Impacts”. The topics covered by this special Issue will include but not limited to the following:
Lead Editor:
Chuanfeng Zhao (College of Global Change and Earth System Science, Beijing Normal University)
Manuscript Submission Deadline: 31 May 2021
This special issue will showcase recent and ongoing research progress in (1) cloud observation techniques and remote sensing inversion algorithm development for cloud properties, and (2) cloud–aerosol–radiation–precipitation interactions and their potential underlying mechanisms. The compilation of research papers in this special issue is expected to improve our understanding of cloud properties and cloud-process-associated issues, as well as assist with the development of cloud-associated parameterization in weather and climate models.
