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 […]
The Global Energy and Exchanges Process Evaluation Studies (GEWEX PROES) intend to provide observational based metrics for a better understanding of climate related physical processes and thus to advance their representation in research, weather, and climate models. Convection is a fundamental mode of mixing and transport, moving heat, moisture, momentum, and atmospheric constituents through the […]
The 2018 GEWEX Data and Analysis Panel (GDAP) meeting will be held at the Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera (IPMA) in Lisboa, Portugal from 26-29 November 2018. Dr. Isabel Trigo is hosting the meeting. The first three days will discuss the classic GDAP agenda, and the morning of Thursday, 29 November is open to GDAP Panel […]
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 theoperational 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 aerosol […]
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 […]
