Workshop on Improvement and Calibration of Clouds in Models
Dates: 12 – 16 April 2021
Abstract Submission Deadline: 31 January 2021
The goal of this workshop is to discuss and share the latest improvements of atmospheric parameterizations for the representation of clouds with a focus on turbulence, convection, cloud, microphysics and radiation.
The workshop is organized in the framework of the High-Tune project (http://www.umr-cnrm.fr/high-tune/) and follows, in the spirit, the 2017 Delft meeting on the future of cumulus convection and the 2019 Paracon conference. It will be organized around with only one plenary session with a mixture of invited and contributed presentations and poster sessions.
Earth Observations (EO) for Water Cycle Science 2020
Dates: 16-18 November 2020
Abstract Submission Deadline: 21 September 2020
Discussion proposal Submission Deadline: 21 September 2020
The Earth Observations for Water Cycle Science 2020 meeting is an On-Line event!
The European Space Agency and GEWEX are organizing the “Earth Observation for Water Cycle Science Conference 2020” in collaboration with the European Commission (DG-RTD), CNES, CNRS/IPSL, UNESCO, and the University of Versailles.
This Conference aims at reviewing the latest advances in the use of EO technology for scientific questions related to the water cycle and its applications, exploring the potential offered by the coming EO as well as the main challenges and opportunities for the coming decade. The ultimate target of the event is to contribute to defining a scientific agenda that may drive future scientific activities of ESA and other partners in the next few years.
The Conference is open to EO scientists, water researchers and students, modelers, Earth system and climate scientists, industry, operational agencies, policy makers, representatives of local communities, and other stakeholders interested in sharing their knowledge and experience and in contributing to driving the scientific agenda for advancing EO water research and applications.
Besides a Call for Abstracts, the community is also invited to propose discussion sessions focused on major science challenges in water research, where EO may provide a major contribution in the coming few years. Discussion sessions should aim at defining major scientific activities, initiatives and experiments that will require an integrated and multi-disciplinary approach to science involving advances in Earth Observation satellite data, in-situ observations, modelling, interdisciplinary research and the use of novel technologies in a coordinated manner.
Atmosphere Special: “Climate Extremes in the Pannonian Basin: Current Approaches and Challenges”
Manuscript submission deadline: 31 December 2020
The aim of this Special Issue is to address different approaches and methodologies in analysing climate extremes in the Pannonian Basin, which is the focus area of the Pannonian Basin Experiment (PannEx), a Regional Hydroclimate Project of the Global Energy and Water Exchanges Project of the World Meteorological Organisation (GEWEX).
This Special Issue intends to cover topics to support our ability to understand and predict climate extremes on both continental and local scales by improving the knowledge of environmental water and energy exchanges on a regional scale related to:
This Special Issue is open to all publications (research or review papers). We invite researchers to submit papers for this Special Issue focusing on climate extremes in the Pannonian Basin region.
Frontiers Special: “Energy, Water, and Carbon Dioxide Fluxes at the Earth’s Surface”
Paper submission deadline: 31 March 2021
The goal of this Research Topic is to showcase work that will lead to improved estimation and understanding of the fluxes that couple the atmosphere with the ocean, land and ice. It will cover observational, theoretical and modeling aspects of fluxes of energy (heat and momentum), water, and carbon dioxide at the Earth’s surface, including at the air-sea, air-land and air-ice interfaces. Original Research, Review, Mini-Review, and Perspectives focusing on any of the following or related points are particularly welcome:
Manuscript Submission Deadline: 31 December 2020
The focus of this Remote Sensing of the Water Cycle Special Issue is on remote sensing-related Essential Climate Variables (ECV) CDRs of all water cycle components and their applications. Submitted manuscripts will preferably report scientific advances in the following topics, but other topics related to the scope of the Special Issue will also be considered:
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6)
Manuscript Submission Deadline: 31 January 2021
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has extended the cut-off date for scientific literature to be included in the contribution to the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) of Working Group I, which deals with the physical science basis of climate change to 31 January 2021.
The Working Group I contribution to AR6, Climate Change 2021: The Physical Science Basis, will assess large-scale climate changes, climate processes and feedback and regional climate information. The Working Group I report includes an interactive online atlas, which was also open for review comments.
Paper submission deadline: 31 April 2021
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:
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.
