Revisit the first 30 years of GEWEX in a new Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society (BAMS) article from Graeme Stephens et al. The paper summarizes the progress and evolution of GEWEX, looking at major achievements from each of the project's three phases. It also describes possible future directions for GEWEX, which was
founded to address gaps in our understanding of Earth's energy and water cycles. Read more about where we've been and where we're going here. |

The World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) and the Global Energy and Water Exchanges (GEWEX) project are pleased to announce the release of the History of the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project, a report authored by
William B. Rossow, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of the City College of New York. 40 years ago, the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) was launched to collect and analyze global satellite observations of Earth’s clouds for climate research. It was also the first WCRP project. This report covers the planning and inception of ISCCP and its evolution, including two version updates: the first led to better understanding of cloud types and their vertical structures, and the
second helped to support cloud process studies by taking advantage of advances in satellite measurements. The current conceptual framework of the project now aims to understand the full role of clouds in weather and climate variation. Possible uses of the data and a new direction for ISCCP are also discussed. Read more at https://www.gewex.org/gewex-content/uploads/2022/10/History-of-ISCCP.pdf. |

Dates: 16–21 April 2023
Location: Nanyang Executive Centre, Singapore
Abstract Submission Deadline: 31 December 2022 In this session of the 5th Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) Symposium, space scientists and engineers are invited to share their expertise, vision, and predictions of the status and trends of small satellite missions for Earth observation with a focus
on environmental monitoring. Speakers are invited to present the latest payload design, mission architecture with large-scale constellations, data analysis from recent EO missions. The proposed session will be a platform to build knowledge on how best to utilize small satellite platform for future missions to influence decision makers on climate and environment monitoring. |
Dates: 27–29 March 2023
Location: Lleida, Spain
Abstract Submission Deadline: 13 January
2023 The main objective of the GEWEX-supported Land surface Interactions with the Atmosphere over the Iberian Semi-arid Environment (LIAISE) project is to improve the understanding of land-atmosphere-hydrology interactions in a semi-arid region characterized by strong surface heterogeneity owing to contrasts between the natural landscape and intensive agriculture. This conference invites contributions on topics that include: - Modeling studies
aimed at including anthropogenic processes (land surface, meteorological, or hydrological) within or including the LIAISE area addressing the main project objectives
- Studies using observational data from the LIAISE field campaign
- Applications using remote sensing data (from planes, drones, or satellites) to estimate irrigation requirements or evapotranspiration over the region
|
Submission Deadline: 31 March 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.
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.
