The GEWEX Data and Analysis Panel (GDAP) was organized to bring together theoretical and experimental insights into the radiative interactions and climate feedbacks associated with cloud processes. The central question that governs the GDAP mission is: “how sensitive is the Earth’s climate to changes in radiative and other forcings?” Answering this question will enable improved prediction of transient natural climate variations, such as El Niño, and provide better understanding of the consequences of natural and human-induced climate changes.
Prior to the 9th GEWEX Open Science Conference, the ‘by invitation only’ 2024 GDAP meeting will take place at Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan on July 6th, 2024.
This year’s annual GDAP Meeting will review progress of the ongoing GDAP Assessments and Projects. As one of the four panels of the Global Energy and Water Cycle Exchanges (GEWEX), a core program of the World Climate Research Program (WCRP), the GEWEX Science Questions and the WCRP Grand Challenges will be at the heart of these discussions.
The agenda of the 2024 GDAP Meeting is available at https://www.gewexevents.org/meetings/2024-gdap-meeting/agenda/.
All presentations and reports will be available as soon as they are submitted and can be viewed at https://www.gewexevents.org/meetings/2024-gdap-meeting/document-gdap/documents-presentations-and-reports/ (password protected).
