Aerosols, Clouds, Precipitation and Climate (ACPC) Workshop

Dates: 24 – 26 April 2019
Location: School of Atmospheric Sciences, Nanjing University (NJU) (Xianlin Campus), Nanjing, China
Abstract Submission Deadline: 28 February 2019

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.

International Mountain Conference 2019

Dates: 8 – 12 September 2019
Location: Innsbruck
Abstract Submission Deadline: 14 February 2019

Evaluating the responses of mountains to climate and other changes, and their resilience as social-ecological systems, requires the consideration of multiple and mutually interacting stressors. The IMC 2019 aims to encourage in-depth cross-disciplinary discussions towards a new understanding of mountain systems, their responses and resiliencies.

Climate change is an ongoing global phenomenon. The topography of mountain regions means that the processes and impacts of climate change are typically more complex in these regions than in the lowlands, and therefore more challenging to understand and predict. At the same time, mountain systems affected by climate change also provide many services, not only to local residents but also to people living in the lowlands. In total, around one quarter of the Earth’s population lives in the mountains and their forelands.

In light of this, the International Mountain Conference 2019 will focus on

  • The investigation of processes and the detection of changes in climate and other factors more or less influenced by climate (e.g., social, environmental, or infrastructural changes)
  • The consequences of the changes with respect to the vulnerabilities of socio-ecological systems
  • Strategies for adaptation and transformation

  • European Regional Hydroclimate Projects helping understand water cycle processes and drivers
    session UP2.7
    In order to help prepare our societies to a different climate and ensure adequate water resources, we need to advance our process understanding and enhance our forecasting capabilities at all scales from days to centuries.
    Since a number of years the European continent hosts three Regional Hydroclimate Projects (RHPs) sponsored by the Global Energy and Water Exchanges Project (GEWEX) of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP). These projects, though at various stage of their implementation, have the same objectives of providing a multi-disciplinary understanding of the water cycle under a changing climate and evolving human water usages.

    This session invites oral and poster presentations dealing with the main scientific questions identified in these European RHPs. Several of these questions are common to other part of Europe and the world. Thus, this session will focus on the specific scientific, observational, forecasting, impact, application, collaboration and socio-economic issue:

    • Water balance at the basin scale;
    • Forecasting extreme rainfall events and their evolution in a warmer climate;
    • Forecasting of Basin floods and flash floods: water for societal security under changing climate conditions;
    • Understanding drought formation and improving early warning systems;
    • Impact of irrigation on the water cycle;
    • Agro-climatological and biological systems: Agriculture response to climate changes and weather extremes;
    • Local climate interactions with energy fluxes: agronomical process modelling and micrometeorology;
    • Urban issues: urban metabolism, energy flows and interactions with surrounding areas;
    • Regional climate modelling: Extreme weather and climate events as a risk to sustainable development;
    • Regional Earth System processes which couple physical, biological and chemical cycles of the atmosphere, land and ocean;
    • Impact and vulnerability assessments of climate changes and extreme weather events on different socio-economic sectors;
    • Outreach, exploitation and education.

    The conveners will also organize a short panel discussion within the session to examine which coordinated actions could be undertaken between the three European RHPs.
