AGU Chapman Conference on Remote Sensing of the Water Cycle: Sensors to Science to Society
Dates: 13–16 February 2024
Location: Honolulu, HI, USA
Abstract Submission Deadline: 4 October 2023
In the past decade, there have been unprecedented changes in the fields of sensor technology, satellite missions, modeling and applications to benefit society. Massive amounts of data are available and can be ingested into data assimilation models to better understand the influence of any particular part of the water cycle. This Chapman Conference aims to explore a number of interesting questions: what is the role of scientists in this mix? Which science questions have been answered in this past decade and what are the next decade’s pressing questions? These are in the areas of water and food security, health, new sensors, and resolving conflicts between countries. How do we further connect the business of water with the researchers of water? This conference aims to bring together these groups to build further collaborations and foster new ideas that will meaningfully contribute to society in the decades to come.
Dates: 27–30 May 2024
Location: Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI), Norrköping, Sweden
Abstract Submission Deadline: 15 December 2023
WMO’s Impact Workshop series is an important quadrennial venue for providing science evidence on the impacts of surface- and space-based observing systems, on short- to medium- and longer-range forecasting including climate monitoring. Conclusions from the Workshop provide guidance on how to optimize the use of the current global observing system as well as help guide its future evolution.
This workshop is held under the auspices of INFCOM/SC-ON Joint Expert Team on Earth Observing System Design and Evolution (JET-EOSDE).
This upcoming 8th Workshop, we will continue to focus on assessing the impacts of various observing systems in all Earth system domains on NWP, but we will extend the scope to also encompass the impact assessment of the various observing systems, to other Earth system applications.
The list of scientific questions that the Workshop will attempt to address is available here.
Special Issue on “River Mouth Systems and Marginal Seas – Natural Drivers and Human Impacts”
Editor(s): Dr. Angel Borja (Managing Guest Editor, AZTI, San Sebastian, Spain), Mike Elliott (University of Hull, Hull, UK), Abigail McQuatters-Gollop (University of Plymouth, UK), Maria C. Uyarra (AZTI, San Sebastian, Spain)
Submission deadline: 30 September 2023
This Special Issue in “Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science”, entitled “River Mouth Systems and Marginal Seas – Natural Drivers and Human Impacts” is based on the main theme of an Online Conference organized by the University of Szczecin and the National Museum in Szczecin, Poland, and the International Baltic Earth Secretariat at the Helmholtz Zentrum Hereon in Geesthacht, Germany, and held in December 2022.
Manuscripts of conference contributions, both oral and poster, as well as manuscripts which were not presented during the conference, but fall under the above theme are invited.
This Special Issue supports studies of interrelationships between natural and anthropogenic drivers needed to elaborate strategies for sustainable development of the environment of river mouths increasingly endangered by climate change and human actions. The Special Issue will serve as a baseline study for the synthesis of proxy-data, long-time monitoring and real-time data and a generalized data acquisition concept to compare river mouth systems of different climatic zones and geological settings. The comparison shall form the base for standardized solutions of sustainable development tasks for river mouths’ environments.
Special Issue “Atmospheric Rivers from Modeling and Remote Sensing”
Editor(s): Dr. Sante Laviola, Dr. Francesco Chiaravalloti, Dr. Annalina Lombardi, Dr. Barbara Tomassetti
Submission deadline: 31 December 2023
This Special Issue aims to improve the knowledge of Atmospheric Rivers (ARs) through the publication of groundbreaking papers that focus on innovative and original approaches to research; an example is an evaluation of the effects of AR-forced rainfall on small–medium-sized hydrological basins. The improvement of detection techniques through satellite and numerical models can better quantify the spatio-temporal distribution of rainfall in drainage networks by evaluating the response of hydrographic basins to local effects due to the severity of an events.
Submitted articles may address, but are not limited to, the following scientific topics:
- Impact of ARs on heavy rainfall, heavy snowfall and associated floods over the midlatitude areas.
- Changes in the hydrological response of complex terrain due to Ars.
- A special focus on the Mediterranean basin: the features, occurrence, seasonality, and effects of ARs in this complex domain.
- AR-related storms in the contest of climate change.
- ARs as a key operational product for nowcasting applications and flood risk management.
