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 […]
The 2018 GEWEX Data and Analysis Panel (GDAP) meeting was held at the Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera (IPMA) in Lisboa, Portugal from 26-29 November 2018. Dr. Isabel Trigo hosted the meeting. During the first three days participants discussed the classic GDAP agenda, and the morning of Thursday, 29 November was open to GDAP Panel […]
The Earth Energy Imbalance (EEI) is one of the most fundamental metrics defining the status of global climate change and expectations for continued global warming. WCRP Core Projects work together for a new WCRP-wide initiative to identify research goals and opportunities for Earth’s Energy Imbalance and to strengthen future international scientific collaboration with experts for […]
The GEWEX Upper Tropospheric Clouds and Convection Process Evaluation Study (UTCC PROES) working group was created in 2015 to ultimately advance our knowledge of the climate feedbacks of Upper Tropospheric (UT) clouds. Convection is a fundamental mode of mixing and transport, moving heat, moisture, momentum, and atmospheric constituents through the Earth’s atmosphere. Convective storms are […]
