Modelling the Climate System at Ultra-High-Resolution

Abstract submissions and registrations are open for the workshop “Modelling the Climate System at Ultra-High-Resolution: Resolving atmospheric storms, ocean sub-mesoscale eddies, rivers and glaciers”.

The workshop will take place on 3 to 7 October 2022 in Boulder, CO, USA and hosted by NCAR. It is being organized by WCRP Digital Earths Lighthouse Activity and Earth System Modelling and Observations (ESMO) Core Project.

Deadlines
Abstract submissions: 31st August
Registrations: 19th September

For more information visit the workshop website.

Vacancy Notice: Scientific officer

A new vacancy notice is available on e-recruitment for a new 2-year fixed term position as Scientific Officer at WMO (Atmospheric Environment Research (AER) Division) in Geneva, Switzerland. To find out more see here.

Closing date: 8 August 2022.

6th WGNE Workshop on Systematic Errors in Weather and Climate Models

The deadline for abstract submission to the 6th WGNE Workshop on Systematic Errors in Weather and Climate Models, ECMWF, Reading, 31 October to 4 November 2022. Has been extended.

Abstracts are due 13 June 2022.

The workshop brings together a wide range of experts on simulating the Earth System including atmosphere, ocean, waves, land-surface, atmospheric composition, cryosphere, and associated disciplines to advance the understanding of systematic simulation errors at all timescales. A particular emphasis is given to identifying errors in complex coupled systems and to understand their root causes. Progress in diagnosing and addressing systematic errors using a wide range of tools ranging from classical methods to advanced technologies such as data assimilation and machine learning / AI will be documented. The workshop will encourage an active discussion on relative merits of active development of physical models and parametrisations to address systematic errors versus bias correction methods. Please see the website for additional details on the topics of interest and format.

Early career researchers from selected countries will be able to enter a competition for best abstracts for oral presentations. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) is pleased to offer funding for travel to ECMWF (UK) to the winners of the competition. Please see here for details.

Tipping Element Discussion Series

We are delighted to invite you to the following event in the Tipping Element Discussion Series

Paleoclimate insights on societal collapse 
How did climate influence the collapse of ancient civilizations? 

3 June 2022, 17:30 – 19:00 CEST 

Join AIMES, Earth Commission, Future Earth and the WCRP Safe Landing Climates Lighthouse Activity for the Paleo focused webinar in a series that aims to advance the knowledge about tipping elements, irreversibility, and abrupt changes in the Earth system. This event will look at paleo insights on climate change and how it has impacted societies – sometimes leading to their collapse. 

Presentations : 

  • Collapse of complex societies – Joseph Tainter (Utah State University) 
  • How climate change impacted ancient civilizations- Ann Kinzig (Arizona State University) 

Moderated by Timothy Lenton (University of Exeter)

GCOS Climate Observation Conference – Abstract submission deadline coming up!

The 2nd GCOS Climate Observation Conference (17-19 October 2022, Darmstadt Germany) will gather experts of climate science, climate observations, technology innovation, data scientists, climate services, users of data information and funding agencies to discuss and develop pathways towards a fit-for-purpose climate observing system for 2050 and beyond.

The call for abstracts is open until 1 June

Six themes are proposed for the submissions and are the basis for the Conference sessions: 

  • Climate Observing Networks
  • Climate Extremes and Tipping points
  • Climate Observations to support Climate Policies
  • Climate Data Records
  • Data Processing and Management
  • The Global Climate Observing system in the future: GCOS 2050

Travel grants will be available for early career researchers coming from the Global South and presenting abstracts. 

Do not miss the recent updates on the Climate Symposium here and do not forget to submit your abstract before the 1st June!

Call for participation in the next CATCH Open Science Workshop on 9-13 May 2022

CATCH proudly announces the next science workshop to discuss atmospheric chemistry research, with a focus on natural processes specific to cold regions of the Earth.  Please register online here.

The workshop will host invited talks, social interactions, and contributed posters on CATCH related topics with the aim of fostering scientific interactive discussions between researchers on outstanding questions. This workshop addresses researchers at all stages of their careers and will provide ample opportunity for early career scientist to present and discuss their work.

Sessions and topics will include:

  • Linking biogeochemistry to aerosol-cloud interactions in the Southern Ocean and Antarctic
  • Ocean-ice-snow-atmosphere fluxes 
  • Polar halogen chemistry and interlinked processes
  • Cryospheric links to aerosol-cloud interactions 
  • Coupling of ocean-ice-atmosphere processes: from sea-Ice biogeochemistry to aerosols and Clouds

The meeting format will be one topic per day split into 3 events about 2 hours each plus social time and poster sessions. The schedule will cover all time zones. We look forward to your participation.
