The deadline for submitting your abstract for the 3rd Pan-GASS Meeting, Understanding and Modeling Atmospheric Processes (UMAP 2022), is now 1 March 2022.
The GEWEX Global Atmospheric System Studies Panel ( GASS) will hold the 3rd Pan-GASS Meeting from 25–29 July 2022 in Monterey, CA, USA. It is an in-person meeting and will be postponed to a later date if circumstances recommend it. More information on the refund policy can be found here. UMAP 2022 aims to bring together weather and climate scientists, including both observationalists and modelers, to discuss the key issues of atmospheric science. UMAP 2022 is articulated around four main themes:
- Convection, precipitation, and organization
- Surface-atmosphere interactions and the boundary layer
- Clouds, radiation, aerosols, and their interactions
- Towards “Digital Twins” of the Earth

The new program element in Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) solicits proposals for investigations leading to increased understanding of Earth system predictability and increased predictive skill of hydrometeorological processes and quantities at subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) time scales. Investigations are expected to employ National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and other agency satellite observations, as well as modeling focused on land hydrology as
it relates to S2S prediction/predictability for either:
- The S2S prediction of hydrological land surface variables such as soil moisture, groundwater, evapotranspiration, surface runoff/river discharge, and snowpack, or
- To understand the role of hydrology in S2S prediction/predictability, such as how initialization of soil moisture, groundwater and/or snowpack lead to improved S2S prediction.

The Cygnus cargo capsule slated to deliver supplies to the International Space Station in February has been named after astronaut and climate scientist Piers Sellers. Piers, who was involved in GEWEX for many years, most notably in the International Satellite Land Surface Climatology Project (ISLSCP), passed away in 2016.

Earth's surface and its biological organisms exchange heat, momentum, carbon, and water with the overlying atmosphere at a multitude of scales. However, capturing those interactions across scales remains a challenge for observing systems and Earth system models. Here, the editors solicit papers highlighting recent investigations from land-atmosphere field campaigns, including observational analyses, tests of theoretical approaches to scaling or modeling these processes, and
model-based evaluation and diagnostic studies.
Papers can be submitted to JGR: Biogeosciences, JGR: Atmospheres, Earth and Space Sciences, or Journal of Advances in Modeling of Earth Systems (JAMES). The latter two are gold open-access and the first two have open-access options.

The S2S Water Workshop 2022 will provide a forum for cross-community dialog and sharing of the latest research results and work on integrating science with services. It will highlight recent advances in short-term climate predictions of conditions concerning water availability (e.g., precipitation, snowpack, drought) over the western U.S. to better inform water resource managers, and on translating climate forecasts into products to directly inform water management decisions. While the
workshop topics will include the subseasonal range, emphasis and priorities for presentations and discussion will be on 1) seasonal to interannual lead-times, 2) seamless prediction systems across time scales, and then 3) subseasonal lead-times.
