Help the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) improve
its communication plan and strengthen its support to climate science by taking this survey. Your responses will shape the program’s communications strategy moving forward, and we’re looking for input from the GEWEX community. The deadline is 15 January 2017.
The American Geophysical Union (AGU) 2016 Fall Meeting in San Francisco is quickly
approaching and there are a number of events that early career scientists (ECS)–from students to postdocs to junior researchers–will not want to miss. Events including pop-up talks and a volunteer water quality monitoring outing are being organized by the Hydrology Section Student Subcommittee (H3S) and supported by AGU. There's also a Student and Early Career Scientist Conference (SECC) scheduled for Sunday, December 11th; be sure to register for the SECC when you register online
for the 2016 Fall Meeting. For more up-to-date information on times and places for these events, Fall Meeting attendees can follow H3S on Twitter at @AGU_H3S or visit the AGU site at http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2016/students/.
Dates: 18-21 April 2017 Location: Pasadena, CA, USA Abstract Submission Deadline: 16 December 2016
The 3rd International A-Train Symposium will be an opportunity to exchange information and learn about A-Train scientific breakthroughs and to highlight how Earth science has benefitted from the long, continuous, multi-sensor data set. The Symposium
will emphasize science capabilities and advancements realized from 10+ years’ worth of data gathered by the A-Train’s multi-sensor system. Particular emphasis will be placed on analyses of climatic trends and inter-annual variability. Morning plenary sessions will include invited keynote talks, while afternoon sessions will include selected oral talks and posters aligned with the four theme areas: - Atmospheric composition and chemistry
- Aerosol particles, clouds, radiation,
and the hydrological cycle
- Oceanic, terrestrial, and atmospheric components of the carbon cycle
- Weather prediction and other operational applications
Deadline: 11 January
2017 Dates: 23-28 April 2017 Location: Vienna, Austria
Sessions at the upcoming EGU 2017 meeting related to GEWEX science are listed below. Feel free to send us your session (email gewex@gewex.org) and we’ll add it here.
Abstract Deadline: 27 January 2017 Dates: June 6-8, 2017 Location: Columbia University, New York, New York
NASA/GISS, CCNY/CREST, and
Columbia University are organizing a scientific symposium with the overall theme of “Clouds, their Properties, and their Climate Feedbacks”. The motivation for the symposium is the recent retirement of William B. Rossow, after 40 years of exceptional contributions in a wide range of planetary and atmospheric science fields. The objective of the symposium is to stimulate discussion on the progress we have made over the past decades in understanding cloud properties, processes, and feedbacks, and
to explore strategies to tackle the issues that remain unresolved. The symposium will take place over a 3-day period at the Davies Auditorium of the Schapiro Hall, Columbia University. It will consist of oral and, if needed, poster presentations as well as extensive discussion sessions. To submit a contribution to the symposium, please send a 1-page abstract to George Tselioudis ( George.tselioudis@nasa.gov) and Johnny Luo ( zluo@ccny.cuny.edu) by January 27, 2017.

The SUNY University at Albany Atmospheric Sciences Research Center invites applications for a research scientist position in Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) soil moisture data assimilation.
The planned weather- and climate-relevant research will involve extensive numerical weather forecast model (WRF) evaluation and code modification to implement satellite data assimilation of NASA Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) soil moisture retrievals. The successful candidate will: - Conduct WRF and NASA Land Information System (LIS) simulations
- Carry out data analysis and visualization using Python, NCL or similar scripting language
- Design and write
creative and innovative peer-reviewed journal articles on soil moisture data assimilation and WRF configuration sensitivity in the context of short-term (9-30 h) weather (incl. wind) predictability over the U.S.

The key sciences accomplished include (i) the development of a formalism suitable for the study of atmospheric energetics applicable over a limited region, and (ii) its application by studying
the energy budgets of specific weather systems over a domain centered on the eastern portion of North America.
Regional Climate Models (RCMs) are known to be a good tool that can be used to study the impacts of climate changes at regional scales. The present methodology allows studying the energetic characteristics of storms regarding their intensity, duration, occurrence, and spatial distributions at regional and synoptic scales since RCM simulations provide all
variables required for such study.
