This comprehensive report reviews the current state of precipitation products, and includes assessments of sub-daily global satellite precipitation products, discussions of various climate applications of precipitation products, and deliberations on emerging directions and the future of precipitation products. You can find the full
report at https://doi.org/10.13021/gewex.precip.

WCRP Academy is one of the new lighthouse activities of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), designed to make positive steps towards giving more scientists access to the
training they need to meet the challenges of tomorrow.
This survey is for anyone who is currently a climate scientist or those looking to become one, through formal or informal training. WCRP wants to hear from people at different stages of their careers to get a broad picture of where gaps exist so that we can help the community fill those gaps. The survey will be available until 26 November 2021.

The International Network for Alpine Research Catchment Hydrology (INARCH), a GEWEX Hydroclimatology Panel (GHP) Crosscutting Project, has a new website. The site has recently been redesigned and updated, and the URL has changed to https://inarch.usask.ca. There will be a redirect in place for one year from the old address to the new. INARCH is interested in feedback to help improve the site and include important details about INARCH activities. |

With the increase in data availability and recognition of uncertainty, MODSIM2021 will focus on how modeling and simulation can be used to translate data into action.
Building on the traditional modeling and simulation papers in diverse areas, papers will explore the conference theme from a wide spectrum of disciplinary perspectives organized in different streams. Special themes of the conference will include methods that take advantage of large datasets, scenario modeling of uncertain futures under climate change, resource constraints, and conflicting objectives.

Earth's surface and its biological organisms exchange heat, momentum, carbon, and water with the overlying atmosphere at a multitude of scales. However, capturing those interactions across scales remains a challenge for observing systems and Earth system models. Here, the editors solicit papers highlighting recent investigations from land-atmosphere field campaigns, including observational analyses, tests of theoretical approaches to scaling or modeling these processes, and
model-based evaluation and diagnostic studies.
Papers can be submitted to JGR: Biogeosciences, JGR: Atmospheres, Earth and Space Sciences, or Journal of Advances in Modeling of Earth Systems (JAMES). The latter two are gold open-access and the first two have open-access options.

Deadline: 31 December 2021
In this special issue, studies are sought that investigate the facts and mechanisms related to the processes from surface evapotranspiration to precipitation. The topics covered by this special issue will include, but not be limited to, the following:
- Land–atmosphere interactions and the hydrological cycle;
- Atmospheric boundary layer processes, cloud physics, and precipitation;
- Atmospheric moisture transport and tracking;
- Impact of human activities on the hydrological cycle;
- Aerosol–cloud–climate interactions.

Deadline for Manuscript Submissions: 28 February 2022
This Special Issue will publish contributions from research, operational products, and data assimilation capabilities of microwave satellites used in support of the investigation of severe storms.

The World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) leads the way in addressing frontier scientific questions about the coupled climate system—questions that are too large and too complex to be tackled by a single nation, agency, or scientific discipline. This is one in a series of regional forums, where participants will exchange ideas, discuss new activities and opportunities being developed by WCRP, and explore ways that the community of scientists, partner programs, funders, and end-users
of climate science can engage to meet these challenges. This first forum in South America will include two days of discussions.

The overall objective of WCRP-WWRP Symposium on Data Assimilation and Reanalysis is to review the latest developments and address issues of common interest to data assimilation and reanalysis communities, such as Earth system and coupled approaches, ensemble techniques and covariances, process studies, handling of systematic errors, diagnostics and verification, emerging AI and Machine learning techniques, open science and collaborative platforms.

Dates: 13–17 September 2021
The 2021 Annual Seminar on Observations will be held jointly with the WCRP-WWRP Symposium on Data Assimilation and Reanalysis. The Annual Seminar will provide an Earth system view of observations, identifying where the current global observing system is meeting new and existing Earth system requirements. How effectively the current observing system is being used for NWP and reanalysis will be explored, as
well as consideration for gaps and how they may be addressed in the future. The seminar will consider science and technical issues common to observations across multiple components, and also issues specific to these components. |
Dates: 14–16 September 2021
Due to the ongoing pandemic, the 2021 Cloud Feedback Model Intercomparison Project ( CFMIP) Meeting will be held online. Continuing the themes from previous years, organizers welcome contributions related to Clouds, Precipitation, Circulation, and Climate Sensitivity. All participants are invited to join the live
discussions at the virtual poster halls at Gather Town. |

Dates: 22–24 September 2021
Understanding the drivers of multi-annual to decadal changes in the climate system is essential for building confidence in forecasts, for quantifying hazards, and for developing robust adaptation and mitigation policies. The WCRP Lighthouse Activity on Explaining and Predicting Earth System Change is being developed to address this need.
The aim of this workshop is to document current research, identify challenges, and explore potential pathways towards building an operational capability to attribute multi-annual to decadal changes in the climate system on global-to-regional scales.

The Global Climate Observing System (GCOS), along with the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) and supported by EUMETSAT, will be holding a conference that aims to assess how well the current global climate observing system supports current and near-term user needs for climate information. In particular, the meeting will examine how well observations of the global Earth cycles (the global energy balance, global water and carbon cycles, and explaining changing conditions of the
biosphere) support users’ needs for climate data. The meeting will now be held sometime in 2022, and new date of the Climate Conference will be announced in due time on the same website: https://www.eventsforce.net/gcos-coc. |
