Session ID#: A085
Session Description:
This session provides a forum to discuss recent progress in establishing observation networks in Tibet and data applications, and in studying physical processes involved in land-atmosphere interactions. It focuses on process studies of land-surface and hydrology, boundary layer, cloud-precipitation, and troposphere-stratosphere exchange of mass and chemical composition. It encourages contributions making novel utilization of multi-scale interdisciplinary modeling and analysis to investigate
effects of land-atmosphere interactions on weather and climate.
The Hydro-climate of the Andes: Current Understanding and Future Challenges
Session ID#: A126
Session Description:
This session aims to review the current understanding of the Andean hydro-climate and discuss pressing research challenges, instrumentation and monitoring needs, and human capacity building. We welcome submissions from the local to the continental scales, and from diurnal to interdecadal timescales, with special emphasis on emerging new topics including water and energy budgets, high impact events, precipitation hotspots, climate change and deforestation impacts, climate-vegetation interactions
and cryosphere studies, among others.
Understanding and modeling the evolution and impact of mesoscale and severe convective storms
Session ID#: A134
Session Description
This session invites recent studies that use observations and/or model simulations at various scales to improve our understanding, model representation, and impact of MCSs and SCSs across different geographic regimes. Efforts that derive new insights from observations and analysis, parameterization developments, model evaluations from cloud-resolving models to global models with observational data are particularly encouraged.
Weather and Climate Modeling Across Scales: From Global to Convection-Permitting
Session ID#: A139
Session Description:
This session seeks contributions regarding the development or application of high-resolution simulations and multi-scale techniques for investigating weather and climate, such as the impact of climate change on processes at local scales (e.g., precipitation, hydrology, and ecosystems) and teleconnections across scales. We strongly encourage abstracts containing research related to variable resolution, non-hydrostatic modeling, or multiscale modeling framework techniques. We also invite papers
addressing sensitivities arising from the responses of model physics and dynamics to multiple resolutions.
Earth’s energy imbalance and energy flows through the climate system
Session ID#: GC027
Session Description:
To further our understanding of climate variability and change we encourage contributions from all relevant disciplines, exploiting in-situ measurements, reanalysis, climate modeling, and remote sensing techniques. Of particular interest are: discussions of uncertainty in heat storage estimates; characterization of the spatio-temporal variability of EEI and internal energy exchanges; processes perturbing energy budgets and energy flows through the climate system.
The Third Pole Environment (TPE) under Global Changes
Session ID#: GC082
Session Description:

Session ID#: GC088
Session Description:
This session welcomes contributions on improving understanding of sub-seasonal to seasonal (S2S) variability and prediction of heatwaves and precipitation, especially droughts and floods, through land-induced forcing/atmosphere interactions. Topics include local and remote effects of land surface/subsurface temperature, snow, snow darkening by light-absorbing particles in snow, vegetation, and soil moisture on S2S prediction, as well as mechanisms of dynamic and physical processes and
hydroclimate feedback.
The Role of Soil Moisture in Land–Atmosphere Interactions
Session ID#: H134
Session Description:
This session invites studies employing novel observational or modeling frameworks to highlight variations in the strength of coupled land-atmosphere processes and feedbacks in which soil moisture plays a key role.

34th Conference on Hydrology
Session Title: Land-Atmosphere and Land-Ocean Interactions
Session ID:51854
Session Description:
Land-atmosphere and land-ocean interactions play a key role in climate variability and climate/weather predictability across space and time. This session focuses on (1) interfaces between climate, ecosystems, and the land branches of the energy, water, and carbon cycles and the impact of associated land processes, including land-use/land-cover change, on climate variability and change as well as on extreme events (such as droughts and flooding); (2) dynamic, physical, and biogeochemical
mechanisms by which the land surface (e.g., soil moisture and temperature, albedo, snow, and vegetation) influences surface water, carbon, and energy balances, atmospheric and ocean processes, and climate; (3) predictability associated with land-surface/atmosphere/ocean interactions and land initialization (such as soil moisture, soil temperature, snow, aerosol in snow, etc.) at sub-seasonal to seasonal, to decadal time scales; and (4) application and analyses of large scale field data and
observational networks (such as FLUXNET), satellite remote sensing, and reanalyses data for land model development and land/atmosphere/ocean interaction studies.

Abstract Submission Deadline: 30 June 2019
Registration Deadline: 20 September 2019
The four-day workshop will be organized about two main science topics:
- The role of atmospheric dynamics in climate prediction and change. In particular, the DynVarMIP output request will allow for a first complete assessment of atmospheric momentum and heat transport in CMIP climate models, including the heat and momentum transport associated with subgrid scale boundary layer processes and parameterized gravity wave fluxes.
- Stratosphere-troposphere coupling and its role in surface weather predictability. The focus is on sub-seasonal to seasonal (S2S) timescales, where stratospheric processes appear to be important. A goal is to take advantage of ensemble hindcasts by the forecast systems within the S2S project.

The aim of this workshop is to discuss and share the latest scientific understanding in convection parametrization research, and follows on from the 2017 Delft meeting on the future of cumulus parametrization. It is hosted by the ParaCon research programme, whose goal is to make significant advances in the representation of convection across model scales from 100 km down to 1 km.
During the workwhop, a side meeting will be hosted for informal discussion about the GEWEX/GASS Grey Zone Project, which supports the development of scale-aware convection and boundary layer parameterisations across the, so-called, grey-zone resolutions of about 200m to 10km. Plans and initial tests related to the second phase of the project, which includes a case study based on the EUREC4A field campaign and a yet to be specified deep convective case, will be discussed.

Universities Space Research Association (USRA) has an opening for an Associate Scientist, Earth Sciences. The researcher will conduct research to advance ground validation activities for the NASA Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission. The research will fall into three task areas : (a) characterizing uncertainties in satellite and ground-based (radar, dense gauge networks) rainfall estimates over a broad range of space/time scales; (b) using data from
synergistic missions/sensors (e.g. SMOS, SMAP, GRACE, MODIS) to characterize correct detection or false alarms in GPM products; and (c) characterizing uncertainties in hydrologic models and understanding propagation of input uncertainties into model forecasts. The research involves work on retrospective regional analysis, retrospective global analysis, and real-time global analysis.
