The GEWEX Data and Analysis Panel (GDAP) seeks candidates to join the GDAP Panel. GDAP brings together theoretical and experimental insights into the radiative interactions and climate feedbacks associated with cloud processes. The central question that governs the GDAP mission is: “how sensitive is the Earth’s climate to changes in radiative and other forcings?” GDAP is looking for potential Panel members, especially those
with experience with ground-based radar, in particular, intercalibrating and blending retrieved hydrologic parameters from multi-national, multi-radar networks. Fill out the nomination form to be considered for Panel membership. |

EWVs are defined as water variables and parameters addressing user-defined critical requirements in three main categories: observational monitoring of key elements in the global and regional/local water cycle, observations necessary for diagnostic and/or land surface/hydrological prediction models, and variables required by users of
water data/information products for interdisciplinary decision support systems and tools. Observations of EWVs are required for research and for the observations to be effective in the monitoring and the management of water resources. These requirements are set forth by organizations like the international Group on Earth Observations (GEO)—Global Water Sustainability (GEOGLoWS) to establish a standardized approach across the globe. This survey seeks to gather input on user
requirements for EWVs and builds on the GEOSS Water Strategy Report and the GEOGLoWS Initiative of GEO. The survey is fewer than 10 questions long and should take a few minutes to
complete. |

That the call for proposals for WCRP’s new Global South Fellowship program with a focus on Africa is now open. The objective of the Global South Fellowship program is to give early to mid-career researchers from the Global South the benefit to develop their own WCRP-related research activity, thereby boosting climate research activities in their own
region. For the 2024 call, WCRP is soliciting research proposals from early to mid-career candidates from the African continent. Successful projects should address aspects of critical gaps in WCRP related African climate research, enhance climate action for and in Africa, help build a community of practice, and create the potential for leaving a strong legacy to build upon in the longer-term. The deadline for the call is 30 September
2024. |

Dates: 23–26 September 2024 Location: Oxford, UK This workshop will bring together different communities interested in model uncertainty,
including but not limited to: those working on weather prediction through climate timescales; those focused on physical parameterizations, the dynamical core, or their coupling and interaction; those using high-resolution km-scale models through complex Earth System Models; whether limited area or global. The workshop will include invited talks, contributed talks, and posters. Breakout groups will foster
deeper discussion on the key workshop themes. The workshop will be partially hybrid; while all presentations will be in person, organizers will livestream talks and facilitate online Q&A. For more details on how you can participate, please see the registration page. |

Dates: 24–26 September 2024 Location: Royal Hillsborough, Northern Ireland The 7th International COsmic-ray Soil Moisture Observing System (COSMOS) Workshop will take place at Royal Hillsborough, a historic town just outside Belfast in Northern Ireland. The event will be a platform for young scientists and international experts in the area of soil moisture observation research to come together and share knowledge, experience, and expertise. The cosmic-ray neutron sensing technique of COSMOS, which has evolved over the past decade, has catalyzed a paradigm shift in soil water content measurement. As a result of the significant
progress made over the past 10 years, we are poised to transition "From Research to Operations." This event provides the opportunity to gather again, as a community, to share progress and knowledge, and celebrate the successes of applications using the technology for the 7th International COSMOS Workshop. |
