The preliminary report on the GEWEX Data and Assessments Panel (GDAP)’s Water Vapor Assessment has been published by the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP). GDAP created the GEWEX Water Vapor Assessment (G-VAP) to quantify the current state of the art in water vapor products being constructed for climate applications and support GDAP’s selection process of suitable water vapor products for its production of
globally consistent water and energy cycle products. The assessment serves as baseline guidance to judge the fitness for purpose of data records, particularly in terms of accuracy and stability. Within G-VAP, all three products defined by GCOS as representing the Essential Climate Variable water vapor were considered, namely upper tropospheric humidity (UTH), specific humidity (q), and temperature profiles (T), as well as total column water vapor (TCWV). The G-VAP report provides an
overview of available satellite sensors and their general advantages and limitations as well as a data record inventory covering all available records of more than 10 years of temporal coverage.
Extended Submission Deadline: 31 December 2017
The 4th international conference of Hydrology delivers Earth System Sciences to Society (HESSS4) was hosted at the Institute of Industrial
Science, the University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan in May 2017 to provide a forum to strengthen synergies between research communities studying climate modeling, monitoring, and impact assessment and to discuss how to deliver scientific achievements to our society. Papers are sought for a special collection compiling the interdisciplinary works introduced in HESSS4 and the associated communities. Further details of the conference are available on the website.
The solicitations of this special collection will cover a wide range of interrelated research topics, including, but not limited to (1) Changes of Climate Forcing and Terrestrial Feedback, (2) Climate Extremes and Impacts Assessment, (3) Natural-Human System Interactions, (4) Satellite Remote Sensing for Extreme Monitoring, (5)
Short-/mid-range Hydrologic Forecast, (6) Data and Model Integration, (7) Model Benchmarking and Uncertainty Estimation, and (8) Delivering Science to Society. Contributions linking two or more of these topics are especially encouraged. Manuscripts should be submitted through the GEMS website. For additional information please contact wrr@agu.org.
Dates: 8-13 April 2018
Location: Vienna, Austria
Abstract Submission Deadline: 10 January 2018
Sessions relevant to GEWEX research and science are listed below. If you have a session related to GEWEX that you’d like to see listed, send it to us at gewex@gewex.org.
Dates: 3-8 June 2018
Location: Honolulu, Hawaii
Abstract Submission Deadline: 19 January 2018
The Asia Oceania Geosciences Society (AOGS) was established in 2003 to promote geosciences and their application for the benefit of humanity, specifically in Asia and Oceania and with an overarching approach to global issues. AOGS holds annual conventions providing a unique opportunity
to exchange scientific knowledge and discuss important geo-scientific issues among academia, research institutions, and the public.
A session of interest to the GEWEX community is HS24, The Third Pole Environment - Hydrometeorological Processes and Human Dimension. This session invites contributions dealing with advances in issues to improve the understanding of the interactions of the Asian monsoon, glaciers and the Tibetan
plateau in terms of water and energy exchanges in order to assess and understand the causes of changes in the cryosphere and hydrosphere in relation to changes of 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 Tibetan Plateau and surroundings regarding the human dimension of the changing environments in the Third Pole Environment.
Dates: 29 May-2 June 2018
Location: Lecce, Italy
Abstract Submission Deadline: 16 February 2018
The general objective of the HyMeX Workshop is to present and discuss recent
scientific progress in the understanding of the Mediterranean water cycle, from multiscale and multidisciplinary approaches, and to foster further collaborations within the HyMeX community.
The 11th HyMeX workshop will be organized along the HyMeX science topics: heavy precipitation, Mediterranean cyclones, ocean circulation and processes, drought and water resources, flash-floods and social vulnerability, integrated prediction of heavy precipitation and impacts, the
water cycle, and renewable energy.
Dates: 3-7 September 2018
Location:
Budapest, Hungary
The next EMS Annual Meeting will be held from 3 to 7 September 2018 at the Corvinus University of Budapest, Hungary. The conference theme is "Weather and climate: global change and local hazards."
A dedicated session for Pannonian basin Experiment (PannEx) activities will be held during the meeting: http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EMS2018/session/29289. PannEx is a prospective GEWEX Regional Hydroclimate Project (RHP), and the PannEx session invites oral and poster presentations dealing with the main flagship and cross-cutting scientific questions identified in the PannEx Science Plan.
Ph.D. Project on the Dynamics of Tropical Convection and
Large-Scale Tropical Circulation
Application Deadline: 28 February 2018, with interviews in March 2018 Location: University of Leeds / Met Office (UK applicants only)
The University of Leeds and the Met Office are looking for applicants with strong mathematical ability for a Ph.D. project which is available as part of the NERC DTP programme at the University of Leeds. The project would start 1 October
2018, and is supervised by Doug Parker, Juliane Schwendike (Leeds), and Lorenzo Tomassini (Met Office).
This project will advance our theoretical understanding of the most important dynamical processes in the tropical atmosphere, namely the interactions between convective clouds and their large-scale environment. This is one of the most critical unsolved theoretical questions in climate science, and an ambitious and capable mathematician or physicist with an interest in
solving real-world problems is sought.
Requirements:
Strong mathematical background, e.g. excellent first degree or Master’s degree in Mathematics or Physics
