The hydrological, biogeophysical, and Earth science
communities have come together to develop a robust effort that addresses the water challenges facing the central western North American continent. This includes regions of the U.S. and Canada, which are particularly affected by climate-related water changes.
This workshop will explore creating a Regional Hydroclimate Project that tackles water availability from different vantage points: high resolution climate modeling, evaluation of climate projections, mountain hydrology, observations, ecosystem science, socioeconomic and political impacts, and the intersection of water, energy, and people.
Workshop objectives include: - Determining program
elements and structure
- Establishing science focus areas and identifying leaders for each
- Confirming a planning committee
- Developing an independent plan or path forward for each focus area
- Identifying the next steps
Registration for the workshop will open 4 March 2015.
- GEWEX Water Vapor Assessment shows the need for an enhanced analysis of stratus regions
- Recent global ocean salinity observations lead to progress and challenges in monitoring the water cycle
- We still do not understand our climate well enough! Why a shift in focus from understanding our climate and
climate change to climate adaptation and mitigation is shortsighted
- Results from CliC/GEWEX Workshop on Land Related Model Intercomparison Projects
- Second OzEWEX Workshop explores the theme of “Spatial Hydrology: Observation, Modeling and Forecasting"

As part of a wider effort intended to design the Next Generation Copernicus Space Component,
the European Commission (EC) has undertaken an initiative aimed at capturing future user requirements for data, products, and services in the post-2022 timeframe. The Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) is one of the original services in the Copernicus program, and a critical step in the design of the future of this service and of the associated space infrastructure will be the C3S User Consultation Workshop. This is a unique opportunity for the attendees to provide the EC
with an early picture of user requirements that would drive the design and configuration of the next generation of the Copernicus Space component. Registration is open until 6 March 2016. You will find all the necessary information on the dedicated webpage.

The World Climate Research Programme (WCRP)'s Core Project on Climate and Ocean– CLIVAR–invites the international climate community to review the state of the science, to prioritize international research plans, and to initiate new collaborations on the coupled ocean-atmosphere system.
The call for abstracts, as well as the applications for attending the Early Career Scientist Symposium and seeking travel grants, are now open. 15 March 2016 is the deadline for submitting your abstracts and proposing poster clusters.
Abstract Deadline: 30 March 2016 Dates: 24-27 October 2016 Location: China National Convention Center, Beijing, China
The Global Land Project's 3rd Open Science Meeting 2016 will bring together large parts of the international research community working on land system issues, showcase the width and scope of ongoing research, help build a
community in this highly interdisciplinary field, inspire new research, and facilitate review, theory building, and application of science in practice. Abstracts are welcome for session topics on Trade Offs and Synergies, the Water-Food-Energy Nexus, an Urbanizing and Telecoupled World, and Land
Governance.
Application Deadline: 2 March 2016
The World Meteorological Organization invites applications for a Scientific Officer opening. The position involves providing technical assistance, including the organization of appropriate expert meetings and other related activities
relevant to the World Weather Research Programme (WWRP), particularly in support of Nowcasting and Mesoscale Weather Forecasting research, Data Assimilation and Observing Strategies activities, and Predictability, Dynamics and Ensemble Forecasting research. A Master’s degree or equivalent in physics, geophysics, meteorology, or a closely related field is required.
Application Deadline: 31 March 2016
The Centre of Mathematics and Informatics in Amsterdam is looking
for a postdoc to develop 3D superparameterizations for cloud-resolving climate simulations. Clouds and convection processes are important in the climate system, yet they are not explicitly resolved in global climate models due to computational limitations. The approximate parameterized representation of these processes is the main source of model uncertainty in climate models and has hampered progress in understanding and representation of the interaction between clouds and the large-scale
atmospheric circulation for decades. In this project we will develop a new computational approach (3d-SP) to tackle this important and long-standing challenge. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in atmospheric physics, applied mathematics, or similar, with expertise in numerical simulation of atmospheric flow. Candidates are expected to have hands-on experience with complex models and to have knowledge of numerical methods as well as atmospheric
science.
Application Deadline: 1 April 2016
The faculty of
Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC) of the University of Twente seeks outstanding female applicants for a Tenure Track position. The Tenure Track position is open to highly talented females who hold a doctoral degree, have postdoc experience and excellent potential for a successful scientific career in the area of geo-information science and earth observation. Candidates are expected to match their research interest with the focus of one of ITC’s research themes. For more
information on the program and application details, visit the ITC-Women in Science job opening description.
The NASA Global Modeling and Assimilation Office and the Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center have a new version of the Modern Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Analysis data set (MERRA-2). MERRA-2 includes the use of observation-based precipitation data as forcing for the land surface
parameterization. The data set also includes the assimilation of aerosol information based upon the off-line “MERRAero” data set that was integrated using meteorological fields from MERRA. The MERRA-2 aerosol variables are included in additional file collections. MERRA-2 also includes a mass balance over glaciated land surfaces and several surface variables have additional daily statistics written in a separate file collection. More detailed information on MERRA-2, including documentation
and access to data and services, is available here.
