Dates: 13–16 February 2024 Location: Honolulu, HI, USA In the past decade, there have been unprecedented changes in the fields of sensor technology, satellite missions, modeling, and applications to benefit society. Massive amounts of data are available and can be ingested into data assimilation models to better understand the influence of any particular part of the water cycle. This Chapman Conference aims to explore a number of interesting questions: what is the role of scientists in this mix? Which science questions have
been answered in this past decade and what are the next decade’s pressing questions? How do we further connect the business of water with the researchers of water? This conference aims to bring together these groups to build further collaborations and foster new ideas that will meaningfully contribute to society in the decades to come.

Dates: 12–13 March 2024 Location: Offenbach, Germany The Workshop
on Global Precipitation Monitoring in a Joint European Effort marks the restart of a jointly-hosted workshop series held between 2014 and 2017. The objective of the earlier workshop series was to assess the feasibility of generating a satellite-based global precipitation climate data record (CDR) and to consolidate scientific and technical questions regarding the major building blocks of such a precipitation CDR. It was and still is consensus that this is a major endeavor and needs to be pursued
in a joint European effort. The workshop in March 2024 brings together experts in the field and aims at defining priorities on future efforts and (new) cooperations. It is also an element of topical workshops organized by CM SAF to address various aspects regarding the Earth’s energy and water
cycles.

bring together a diverse, interdisciplinary group of researchers from different Earth science communities with an interest in comparing observed and modeled trends to achieve the following two principal goals: - Take stock of the ability of models to capture recent trends and to answer the following questions: What are we getting right? What are we getting wrong? What have we not yet paid enough attention to and where might
surprises lie?
- Identify research challenges and new directions moving forward, including both scientific and methodological questions.
The 3-day meeting will be hybrid, with participants convening in person at the NCAR Mesa Lab in Boulder and online. For detailed information and to register, click here.
