The 31st Session of the GEWEX Scientific Steering Group (SSG) will take place from 25 February to 1 March 2019 at the headquarters of World Meteorological Orgnization (WMO) in Geneva, Switzerland. Local information on the venue, transportation, accommodation, etc. can be found here. Registration is closed. If you have received an invitation and want to […]
Clouds, through their influence on radiative transfer, help determine Earth’s energy budget and its susceptibility to perturbations. Clouds and their associated precipitation influence the dynamics of circulation systems, especially in the tropics. Increasingly cloud radiative effects are recognized as an additional mechanism for organizing circulation systems. UCP2019, as part of the Grand Science Challenge on […]
In predicting the trajectory of future climate, water and ecosystems, we can no longer ignore the many ways in which human feedbacks modify our natural systems. The 5th national OzEWEX workshop will explore how well we understand stores and fluxes of water and energy at the landscape scale subject human influences including greenhouse gas emissions, […]
Thanks to all those who attended the AGU side meeting that focused on the GEWEX-led “Water for the Food Baskets” Grand Challenge. GEWEX leads the WCRP Grand Challenge on Water Availability, which focuses on assessing how fresh water availability will shift in some of the major food producing regions of the world due to climate […]
The Impact of Initialized Land Temperature and Snowpack on Sub-seasonal to Seasonal Prediction (ILSTSS2S) is a GEWEX/GASS initiative. This project focuses more on the process understanding and predictability rather than the operational S2S prediction and intends to address two questions: What is the impact of the initialization of large scale LST/SUBT and snow pack, including […]
