Catch up on the evolving regional initiative in Central Asia, which is now in the early stages of becoming a formal GEWEX Regional Hydroclimate Project helmed by current co-leads, Michael Brody and Sagynbek Orunbaev. The report summarizes the third in a series of workshops on the proposed Central Asia
Regional Hydroclimate Project. Participants sought to identify challenges posed by climate change in Central Asia and possible regional responses. Discussions during this meeting centered on identifying already-existing data that is needed, forming new observational networks, proposing climate models with better relevance to Central Asia, and labeling challenges specific to regional research. |

Nominations can be submitted online via the nomination form. The deadline for submitting is 18 October 2024. Detailed information about the CLIVAR/GEWEX Monsoons Panel can be found on its website. When considering membership nominations, we take into account the scientific expertise that will support the fulfillment of the terms of reference of the Panel. Scientifically qualified nominations
that support gender and geographical balance and promote opportunities for scientists and researchers from developing countries to participate in these activities are encouraged. Early career scientists with required scientific background will be also considered, providing them with the opportunity to work with senior scientists to advance monsoons science as well as their careers. The initial term of service is three years for panel members, with a possible extension of two years. If you have
any questions, please contact icpo@clivar.org. |

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. |

This webinar will focus on a topic of growing interest: the study of climate storylines to guide adaptation and decision-making. Through an interdisciplinary dialogue between climatologists and anthropologists around a severe drought event in northeastern Argentina, presenters will show how analyzing the event from multiple storyline perspectives can support more robust decision-making and contribute to the development of socially relevant climatic
information for realistic climate risk decision making contexts.

Dates: 28–30 October 2024
Location: Laramie, Wyoming, and online This workshop will identify key structural model differences that cause cascading uncertainties, evaluate the scale mismatch between in-situ observations and remotely sensed properties, quantify the effect of microphysical process uncertainty on
climate projection uncertainty, and investigate connections between modeling and observations of aerosols, clouds, and precipitation across the globe. The Micro2Macro workshop will develop the foundation of a new framework to confront and evaluate climate models using observations to improve our process-based understanding and strategically reduce climate projection uncertainty. |
