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 […]
ANDEX, 22 – 24 October 2018 ANDEX is a proposed new Regional Hydroclimate Project (RHP) under the umbrella of GEWEX that aims to improve our understanding and prediction of climate and hydrology along the Andes cordillera. It will integrate atmospheric and hydrologic models, and assimilate local and remotely sensed data products. A small initial planning […]
PannEx is prospective Regional Hydroclimate Project (RHP) of the Global Energy and Water Exchange (GEWEX) project of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP). GEWEX aims to observe, understand and model the hydrological cycle and energy fluxes in the Earth’s atmosphere, at and below the surface. It proceeds by means of an integrated program of research, observations and science activities that focuses […]
The 2nd GEWEX Convection-Permitting Climate Modeling Workshop has been held from 4 -6 Septermber 2018 in Boulder, Colorado and has been hosted by Andreas Prein and Roy Rasmussen from NCAR/UCAR. This workshop has focused on scientific and technical challenges related to convection-permitting climate modeling (horizontal grid spacing ≤4 km). These challenges included the model setup, […]
Thank you for a successful 8th GEWEX Open Science Conference! GEWEX, the Global Energy and Water Exchanges project, held its 8th GEWEX Open Science Conference from 6-11 May 2018 in Canmore, Alberta, Canada. 360 scientists hailing from over 40 countries discussed and presented on issues ranging from mountain and high latitude hydrology to atmospheric and land modeling and observations. We’d like […]
