International Workshop for First Phase of GEWEX/GASS ILSTSS2S Initiative and TPEMIP

Dates: 8-9 December 2018
Location: Washington Marriott at Metro Center, Washington, DC, USA
Abstract Submission Deadline: 15 November 2018
By Invitation Only

This will be the kick off workshop for the “Impact of initialized land temperature and snowpack on sub-seasonal to seasonal prediction” (ILSTSS2S) and “Third Pole Experiment Multi-Model Intercomparison” (TPEMIP). The ILSTSS2S aims to explore the impact of the initialization of large scale land surface temperature/subsurface temperature (LST/SUBT) and snow pack, including the aerosol in snow, in climate models on the S2S prediction over different regions. The ILSTSS2S is intended to be a joint project between GASS and other international programs. The focus of its first phase will be the impact of the Tibetan Plateau land condition on the East, South, and Central Asian S2S prediction, especially summer drought/flood, and will be jointly supported by the TPEMIP, which particularly focus on the impact of land conditions in Third Pole area and Earth System models’ performance over the Third Pole and surrounding areas.

Participation is limited to invitees only.

Abstract Submission Deadline: 15 February 2019

The 12th International Precipitation Conference (IPC12) will take place on June 19-21, 2019 at the Beckman Center in Irvine, California. The theme of IPC12 will be “Precipitation Estimation and Prediction at Global to Regional scales: Advances in Hydroclimatology and Impact Studies,” with emphasis on three main topics: (1) estimation of precipitation from multiple sensors; (2) water cycle dynamics and predictive modeling at local to global scales; and (3) hydrologic impacts of precipitation extremes and anticipated change.

A special feature of IPC12 is the Soroosh Sorooshian Hydrometeorology Symposium to honor the pioneering career of Professor Soroosh Sorooshian in advancing hydrometeorology research and applications and his community leadership in developing global precipitation products used worldwide for hydrologic prediction and water resources management. Details on the venue, travel information and deadlines for registration and abstract submission can be found on the website.
