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.
The 2025 GDAP meeting is scheduled to occur from 19–23 May 2025, at Sorbonne University in Paris, France. Attendance is for Panel members and invited guests only. During this meeting, participants will evaluate the progress of current GDAP assessments and projects. They will also engage in discussions regarding potential collaboration and explore new project opportunities. 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 Lighthouse activities will be at the heart of these discussions.
The 2025 GDAP meeting is planned to take place in conjunction with the Upper-Tropospheric Clouds and Convection (UTCC) Process Evaluation Study (PROES) meeting.
