U.S. Department of Energy (DOE-ARM)
Submission Deadline: 5 April 2022
The U.S. Department of Energy is now accepting preliminary proposals from scientists worldwide to use components of the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility for field campaigns.
Preproposals are being sought for the deployment of an ARM Mobile Facility (AMF). Campaign proposals to augment an ARM atmospheric observatory also will be considered.
Priority will be given to proposals that make comprehensive use of ARM facilities, focus on strategic goals of the DOE Biological and Environmental Research (BER) program, and have the ability to improve regional or global earth system models.
Proposals that coordinate with other BER community capabilities (e.g., Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory, AmeriFlux Network, Next-Generation Ecosystem Experiments in the Arctic and Tropics, Energy Exascale Earth System Model) or that support the goals of the Global Energy and Water cycle Exchanges (GEWEX) project are encouraged.

Extreme precipitation and drought are among the most disruptive natural events that disproportionally impact the livelihood of poor communities and threaten vulnerable ecosystems. Most importantly, the frequency and intensity of these extreme events have projected to increase with unknown regional effects as the planet warms. Therefore, understanding mechanisms driving these extremes and their impacts can provide a more solid ground for the interpretation of their variability and trends, from global to regional scales, enhancing societal capability of adapting to future climate change.
This special issue seeks to publish papers on understanding mechanisms driving extreme precipitation and drought in order to provide a more solid ground for the interpretation of their variability and trends, from global to regional scales, enhancing societal capability of adapting to future climate change. We would be very pleased if you agreed to contribute a Research paper or a Review article on all aspects related to this theme.
Special Collection on “Advances in Scaling and Modeling of Land-Atmosphere Interactions”
Special Section Organizers:
David S. Schimel (NASA JPL), Benjamin Poulter (NASA GSFC), Natasha Stavros (NASA JPL), Phil Townsend (University of Wisconsin), Nancy Glenn (Boise State University)
Deadline: 31 May 2022
Earth’s surface and its biological organisms exchange heat, momentum, carbon, and water with the overlying atmosphere at a multitude of scales. However, capturing those interactions across scales remains a challenge for observing systems and Earth system models. Here, the editors solicit papers highlighting recent investigations from land-atmosphere field campaigns, including observational analyses, tests of theoretical approaches to scaling or modeling these processes, and model-based evaluation and diagnostic studies. Papers can be submitted to JGR: Biogeosciences, JGR: Atmospheres, Earth and Space Sciences, or Journal of Advances in Modeling of Earth Systems (JAMES). The latter two are gold open-access and the first two have open-access options.

Deadline: 31 August 2022
In this Special Issue, studies are sought that investigate the facts and mechanisms related to the processes from surface evapotranspiration to precipitation. The topics covered by this Special Issue will include but not be limited to the following:
Editor(s): ACP co-editors
Deadline: 30 June 2022
Special issue jointly organized between Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, Earth System Science Data, and Hydrology and Earth System Sciences
This special issue originates from the GEWEX Water Vapor Assessment (G-VAP) and is open for all submissions within scope, not just from G-VAP.
The absorption of energy by water vapor keeps the average temperature on Earth at a level that makes life possible. However, the average temperature increased in recent decades due to increased greenhouse gas emissions. This anthropogenic increase is amplified by the water vapor feedback. Water vapor is further an important component of the water cycle and indirectly of the energy cycle. The role of water vapor in these cycles in a changing climate needs to be fully understood and quantified. Thus, high-quality observations of water vapor and the characterization and validation of associated uncertainties are of high importance for climate applications. Topics covered around atmospheric water vapor include, among others, retrieval development, data records, uncertainty characterization and validation, inter-comparisons, climate applications, and model validation.
