The aim of this second User Workshop is to bring together the broader water vapour community, including those interested in the
generation of water vapour CDRs and data users (such as climate modellers and NWP researchers) in order to discuss the most recent scientific applications and challenges in processing and using water vapour CDRs.
Topics of the workshop include:
Discuss challenges related to the generation of water vapour CDRs.
Show-case climate applications of water vapour CDRs.
Collect and update user requirements for atmospheric water
vapour.
Present and discuss results from climate analysis, climate applications, and process studies using water vapour CDRs.
The effect of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai eruption on the stratosphere and resulting impacts on the troposphere.
Join us in beautiful Sapporo, Japan, in July to address the challenges facing humanity in terms of freshwater availability and associated disaster risk reduction and sustainable development in the context of climate change and human activities. The conference will celebrate over 30 years of GEWEX research and the strong role of the Japanese research community, and will set the stage for the next phase of research addressing the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) main challenges on water resources, extremes and climate sensitivity through observations and data sets, their analyses, process studies, model
development and exploitation, applications, technology transfer to operational use, and research capacity development and training for the next generation of scientists worldwide.
Dates: 29 April–1 May 2024 Location: Osh, Kyrgyzstan
The World Meteorological Organization (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. During this upcoming 8th Workshop, participants will continue to
focus on assessing the impacts of various observing systems in all Earth system domains on numerical weather prediction (NWP), but the scope will be extended to 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.
The sessions of this conference reflect the Grand Challenges and topics Baltic Earth has elaborated for the past 10 years, and those which are currently being defined as new. As the open discussion is ongoing, the final set of new Grand Challenges will be presented at the conference with the new Science Plan 2023.
ANDEX is the GEWEX Regional Hydroclimatic Programme for the Andes. The ANDEX Annual Meeting will bring together the members of the Scientific Committee, as well as project leaders and collaborators. Its general aims include addressing progress on ANDEX’s Scientific and Implementation Plan to 2033 and deepening the process of consolidating its scientific-academic network and linking with strategic
stakeholders.
In addition, and for the first time since the creation of ANDEX, three simultaneous training activities have been planned for the days following the meeting in Lima. Between May 30 and June 1, an interdisciplinary workshop will be held in Cuzco for ANDEX team members. Meanwhile, a glaciology and mountain hydrology workshop will take place in Huaraz, mainly for advanced students and young researchers from the Andean countries. The third activity is a visit
to the possible GLAFO site that the Instituto de Geología del Perú -IGP- has in Huancayo.
The Micro2Macro workshop will develop the foundation of a new framework to confront and evaluate climate models using observations to improve our process-based understanding and strategically reduce climate projection
uncertainty.
The school will summarize our current understanding of convection using these tools and address How does deep and shallow convection organise in k-scale models? Can energy budgets help understand their precipitation biases?
What are the recent advances in convective parameterization? The school will involve a combination of introductory and advanced lecture material and a week of hands-on data analysis in participant projects, with the opportunity to attend the 4th edition of the established conference on convective organisation (WCO4) in the 2nd
week.
A 5-day short course that is intended for
post-graduate students and post-docs interested in a hands-on catchment science curriculum, focusing on northern catchments, runoff processes and combined hydrometric, isotope/chemical tracer and modeling techniques in catchment hydrology.
The Institute of Atmospheric Sciences and Climate of the National Research Council of Italy (CNR-ISAC) in collaboration with the University of Naples “Parthenope” has organized the International School on Satellite Meteorology (ISSM) “Theory, retrieval Methods, sensor technology and future
missions“.
The school will be focused on Satellite Meteorology as the study of the atmospheric, land, and oceanic systems using remotely sensed data from different sensors onboard meteorological satellites. The basic principles of satellite remote sensing of weather features connected to microphysics of clouds and precipitation will be treated, as well as the fundamentals of retrieval methods, satellite imagery interpretation and products for science and operational
meteorology. A special focus will be swept to the sensor technology and satellite development, launch, and in-orbit management.

The World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) Lighthouse Activities are transdisciplinary in nature, integrating across WCRP and collaborating with partners, to accelerate advances in new science, technologies, and institutional frameworks that are needed to more effectively manage climate risks and minimize societal threat based on robust and actionable climate information.
The current interim Scientific Steering Group
(SSG) of the Global Precipitation Experiment (GPEX) Lighthouse Activity has developed its Science Plan (as of November 2023). The purpose of this Open Call is to seek nominations (including self-nomination) to the SSG and four Working Groups (WGs) that will develop and execute the GPEX implementation plan over
the next decade, provide guidance for the WGs, and integrate with the past efforts.
There is a vacancy for a PhD Research Fellow, affiliated with the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research (BCCR), in the field of regional climate modelling using machine learning
at the Geophysical Institute, University of Bergen, Norway. This position will focus on the application of machine learning to develop computationally efficient emulators of high-resolution state-of-the art regional climate models. The goal of the emulators is to learn the relationship between large-scale predictions made by coarse resolution dynamical models and local
surface variables of interest (such as near surface temperature, precipitation, wind speeds).
At the Geophysical Institute, there is a vacancy for a postdoctoral research fellow position within the field of weather and climate extremes.The position is for a fixed term of 3 years and is associated with
the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research (BCCR).
