By Invitation Only Dates: 18–20 May 2023 Location: Tashkent, Uzbekistan The overarching goal of this workshop is to establish a regional project in Central Asia on hydroclimate, water resources, food security, conservation, and land use, led by regional scientists and stakeholders. An
important driver for that ambition is to better observe and predict climate change and its effects and to support adaptation and mitigation measures, in support of land use planning and sustainable food supply. Specific objectives include: - Identifying strengths and gaps in climate related agricultural research
- Scenario building for a vision on mid long-term future (2050) on integrated water management and food security.
- Starting to
build a regional network that includes early career researchers and students and identifies their current priorities for study
- Convening climate, agricultural and hydrological researchers to share ongoing climate-related wicked problems and related actions
- Sharing knowledge about remote sensing approaches to complement on-the-ground measurements of climate-related stresses to agriculture.
- Identifying what is being measured and what is not
being measured, particularly in the areas of soil and water stresses from increasing temperatures and changes in precipitation and its consequences for land use, food security and biodiversity
- Identifying connections with regional level climate projects

Dates: 5–9 June 2023 Location: Norman, Oklahoma, USA Precipitation drives the atmospheric storage, movement, and quality of water. It comprises the most challenging processes to estimate, model, and predict, because of its variability at all scales and its evolving interactions with the water, energy,
and carbon cycles under a changing climate. It is therefore a major component of uncertainty in weather predictions and climate projections, with significant implications for our ability to quantify water cycle dynamics, inform decision making, and predict hydro-geomorphic hazards in response to extremes. A key to these efforts is model-observations synergy to advance precipitation science by jointly enhancing the accuracy of modeled processes and our insight into observations across space and
time scales. |

Dates: 6–7 July 2023 Location: Paris, France The tropospheric lapse rate is the gradient of temperature though the troposphere. How will lapse rate change with global warming? How as it changed in a recent past? What mechanisms control the lapse rate and its spatial distribution? Can past climate
reconstructions of lapse rate better constrain its controlling mechanisms and its future variations? The goal of this workshop is to investigate these questions by gathering different communities working on tropospheric lapse rate in tropical and subtropical regions. The idea of this workshop is to bolster interactions between different communities that seldomly interact, but who share the same science objectives. |

Dates: 3–7 July 2023 Location: Berlin, Germany Earth Virtualization Engines (EVE), with the support of the German Research and Education Ministry (BMBF) and other partners, has organized the Berlin Summit to advance Climate Science and Service. The Berlin Summit will bring together invited
participants from across the world to draft a blueprint for an international climate science and service center. Prominent keynote speakers from science, industry and politics will outline the challenges the center must address, and participants will adapt and fine-tune white papers outlining options for five facets of the proposed center: impact and service, science, technology, observations, structure and governance. |

Dates: 9–13 July 2023 Location: Paris, France The upcoming joint Cloud Feedback Model Intercomparison Project ( CFMIP) and Global Atmospheric System Studies ( GASS) Meeting will focus on the following topics, considering process and climate studies, and models and observations across a range of scales: - Convective organization: What controls the organization of shallow and deep convection, and what role does it play in weather and climate?
- Cloud processes: How do micro- to meso-scale
processes control cloud phase, precipitation and cloud-radiative effects?
- Clouds-circulation coupling: How do clouds couple to circulations and what role does this coupling play in weather and climate?
- Climate feedbacks and sensitivity: How do clouds respond to external perturbations and what role does it play in climate change?
The conference will highlight the complementarity, for answering those questions, of the suite of available models
(LES, CRMs, GCMs, global CRMs, conceptual models) and observations (field campaigns, observatories, satellites). |
