We invite modeling groups to participate in GoAmazon-MIP, a km-scale model intercomparison focused on the diurnal cycle of convection and precipitation over the Amazon region. The project targets a key challenge in convection-permitting models: the representation of shallow-to-deep
transition, mid-level cumulus congestus moistening, the emergence of distinct diurnal regimes (single- vs. double-pulse precipitation). Participating groups are asked to: - Run prescribed simulations using the provided forcing datasets (single- and double-pulse cases)
- Use km-scale or convection-permitting configurations (Cloud Resolving Model CRM, or km-scale regional/global models, Single-column Model SCM)
- Output a standard set of variables for
intercomparison (see website for details)
All modeling centers and interested researchers are welcome to participate worldwide. Potential participants include modeling groups working with CRM, km-scale regional/global models, and SCM configurations. We aim to keep the setup simple and reproducible, while enabling a process-level comparison across models. Please reach out to any project leads at https://portal.nersc.gov/cfs/m4794/contact.html if you are interested in participating or have any questions/comments. |

The World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) Global South Inclusion Task Team (GSITT) invites you to participate in a survey on participation in WCRP activities. The survey takes 15–20 minutes and is completely anonymous. It aims to identify barriers and enablers to meaningful participation across all regions and career stages. Your responses will
directly inform recommendations to the Joint Scientific Committee to improve inclusion in WCRP. The survey is open to anyone who has ever participated in any WCRP activity or event (workshops, webinars, projects, working groups, etc.). The survey will close in mid-May.

The Earth System Modelling and Observations (ESMO) project is seeking members to join the new ESMO panel on Subseasonal to Seasonal Prediction (S2SP). This is an opportunity to join a group of experts contributing to the understanding and prediction of anomalous conditions and extremes across the Earth system on subseasonal
timescales (from two weeks to two months ahead). If you are eager to share your expertise with leading researchers, help shape new initiatives, and collaborate with colleagues, please apply. Members are expected to have expertise and experience in atmospheric or related sciences, particularly in advancing S2S research and predictive capabilities. They should demonstrate a strong understanding of the Earth system, including interactions among its various components
(atmosphere, ocean, land, sea-ice, aerosols, atmospheric chemistry), interactions across spatial and temporal scales, climate variability modes, as well as local and remote influences (teleconnections). Further information can be found here and the application form is here. |

Dates: 1–5 June 2026
Location: Pasadena, CA, USA, and online
The approach adopted in the GEWEX-Earth Energy Imbalance (EEI) assessment is to design an intercomparison of EEI estimates and associated uncertainty. Main goals for this workshop: - Assess closure of
Earth’s energy budget from the top of the atmosphere to the bottom of the ocean.
- Advance our understanding of the causes of ocean heat content and energy balance variations.
- Explain the spread across EEI estimates; derive and recommend methods that reduce and quantify EEI uncertainty.
- Identify gaps, challenges and opportunities for the EEI observing system of the future.

Location: Imperial College London, London, United Kingdom
Application Deadline: 12 May 2026 Applications are invited for a fully-funded fixed-term position at the Research Associate (postdoc) level on understanding and constraining the transient climate response – the future amount of global warming on decadal timescales. A
proposed aim for this position is to investigate physical linkages between cloud-radiative feedback and ocean heat uptake, and to use climate models to evaluate how constraints in each of those processes affect the transient climate response. The successful candidate will have (or be close to obtaining) a PhD in an area relevant to climate science. |
Location: Imperial College London, United Kingdom
Application Deadline: 13 May 2026 Applications are invited for a fully-funded fixed-term position at the Research Associate (postdoc) level in understanding the global climate response to stratospheric perturbations from solar radiation management (SRM). The specific research
objective will be to use climate modeling to assess the global climate impacts of stratospheric perturbations relevant not only to stratospheric aerosol injection but also to natural perturbations such as solar or volcanic forcing. Possible focus areas include climate feedbacks and the radiation budget, midlatitude dynamics, or coupled ocean–atmosphere climate. |
Location: University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), Los Angeles, CA, USA Application Deadline: 20 May 2026 (applications will be reviewed until position is filled) The Aerosol–Climate Interactions group at UCLA seeks a postdoctoral scholar to lead climate dynamics analyses of whether targeted wintertime polar cooling could
meaningfully slow Arctic warming and sea-ice loss, while identifying the potential benefits, risks, and physical limits of such an intervention. The project does not assume that this approach is feasible, desirable, or deployable; its goal is to determine how the Arctic and global climate system would respond, including effects on sea ice, hydrology, AMOC-relevant ocean stratification, time of emergence, and Arctic-community-relevant climate variables. |
Location: ESA European Centre for Satellite Applications Technologies, Harwell, UK
Application Deadline: 30 May 2026 The International Project Office for Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment (IPOC CORDEX), a core project of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), is now seeking an experienced Program Manager. As Programme
Manager, you will be responsible for supporting coordination, planning, development, and implementation of the activities of CORDEX and leading the implementation of operations of the IPO as well as facilitating active CORDEX IPO liaison between the climate observations and modeling communities. |
