Application Deadline: 31 March 2021
The purpose of ACCESS is to bring together young researchers in atmospheric chemistry and representatives of the principal federal government agencies that fund atmospheric chemistry research to engage in scientific discussion and interaction. The meetings will forge future professional relationships, and the entire atmospheric science community will benefit by becoming more aware of innovations in atmospheric chemistry through presentations by ACCESS participants and through these
interactions. Attendance is limited to 25 participants who are selected by a committee based on the significance and achievement of the applicant’s thesis or postdoctoral research, the application, and a letter of recommendation from the applicant’s primary thesis advisor or postdoctoral advisor.

Dates: 25–26 February 2021
The European Commission will release the new and more ambitious EU Climate Adaptation Strategy on February 24th, 2021. The Strategy complements the proposed European Climate Law and seeks to foster adaptive capacity and socially-just transformations to climate-resilient society, fully adapted to the unavoidable impacts of climate change. During this event, members of adaptation and disaster risk reduction communities will discuss how to reach these goals and accelerate adaptation
actions.

Abstract Deadline: 23 February 2021
The Asia Oceania Geosciences Society 2021 Meeting (AOGS2021) will be held online this year. The GEWEX community might find the sessions below of interest. If you would like to have your session included in the list, please email us at gewex@gewex.org.
Session HS02: The Third Pole Environment and High Mountains of Central Asia - Hydrometeorological Processes and Human Dimension
This session invites contributions dealing with advances in improving the understanding of the interactions of the Asian monsoon, glaciers, and the Tibetan Plateau in terms of water and energy exchanges. Such advances will aid in assessing and understanding the causes of changes in the cryosphere and hydrosphere in relation to changes in the plateau atmosphere in the Asian monsoon system, to predict possible changes in water resources, and to explore the pattern and mechanisms of environment
change on the Tibetan Plateau and surroundings. A special emphasis is on new projects in the region addressing precipitation in a changing climate as well as those activities that address the human influence on the water cycle.
Session AS05: Regional Climate Downscaling and Cordex: Challenges and Prospects
This session covers the following themes: 1) Evaluation of regional downscaling techniques (dynamical and statistical methods); 2) Regional climate projection and understanding of climate sensitivity; 3) Comparison between CORDEX phase 1 and 2; 4) Added-values in regional climate downscaling by comparison with high-quality observation datasets; 5) Development of regional earth system model; 6) Process-based studies on sensitivity to the large-scale forcing, regional forcing, domain size,
resolution, physics, etc.; 7) Impact studies of regional anthropogenic forcings such as land-use change, aerosol, and urbanization; and 8) Other issues relevant to regional climate downscaling including application to application sectors.
Session AS28: Asian Precipitation Experiment: Process and Predictability of Asian Hydroclimate System
The Asian Precipitation Experiment (AsiaPEX), a prospective Regional Hydroclimate Project within the GEWEX framework, has launched. AsiaPEX aims to understand Asian land precipitation over diverse hydroclimatological conditions for better prediction, disaster reduction, and sustainable development. Research plans, new sub-projects, recent scientific results and outcomes from these approaches will be exchanged. We will place special focus on discussing predictability on S2S scales and the process
study on land surface-convection coupling, which will be major AsiaPEX activities in upcoming years.

Abstract Deadline: 28 February 2021
The workshop will now take place online from 12–16 April 2021. The goal of this meeting is to discuss and share the latest improvements of atmospheric parameterizations for the representation of clouds with a focus on turbulence, convection, cloud microphysics, and radiation. This concerns any type of models, including regional or global models with numerical weather prediction or climate applications. One focus of the workshop will be on the use of LES for the
advancement of the representation of clouds.

Deadline for Manuscript Submissions: 31 March 2021
The aim of this special issue is to address different approaches and methodologies in analyzing climate extremes in the Pannonian Basin, which is the focus area of the Pannonian Basin Experiment (PannEx), a Regional Hydroclimate Project of the Global Energy and Water Exchanges Project of the World Meteorological Organization (GEWEX). This special issue intends to cover topics to support our ability to understand and predict climate extremes on both continental and local scales by improving
the knowledge of environmental water and energy exchanges on a regional scale.

Extended Deadline for Paper Submissions: 31 March 2021
Due to COVID-19-related delays, the submission deadline for this special issue has been extended from the end of September 2020 to 31 March 2021. The goal of this Research Topic is to showcase work that will lead to improved estimation and understanding of the fluxes that couple the atmosphere with the ocean, land, and ice. It will cover observational, theoretical, and modeling aspects of fluxes of energy (heat and momentum), water, and carbon dioxide at the Earth’s surface, including at
the air-sea, air-land and air-ice interfaces.

Paper Submission Deadline: 31 April 2021
The journal Water (IF: 2.544, ISSN 2073-4441) will feature a Special Issue on "Hydrological Extremes in a Warming Climate: Nonstationarity, Uncertainties and Impacts". The topics covered by this special issue will include but not limited to the following:
- Analysis of historical variability and trends in streamflow extremes (e.g., peak flow, low flow, timing) and teleconnections to hydroclimatic drivers
- Model based studies on future changes in hydrologic extremes and the role of internal variability and anthropogenic forcings
- Development and application of nonstationary methods for the evaluation of hydrologic extreme events
- Evaluation of uncertainties of extreme value projections
- Methods to quantify flood and drought risks
- Implications of changes in hydrologic extreme events on water resources management

Paper Submission Deadline: 31 May 2021
This special issue will showcase recent and ongoing research progress in (1) cloud observation techniques and remote sensing inversion algorithm development for cloud properties, and (2) cloud–aerosol–radiation–precipitation interactions and their potential underlying mechanisms. The compilation of research papers in this special issue is expected to improve our understanding of cloud properties and cloud-process-associated issues, as well as assist with the development of cloud-associated
parameterization in weather and climate models.

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 workshop seeks to both assess the overall consistency of the GEWEX
integrated product, as well as identify additional parameters that should be included in the product going forward.
