Montreal is the largest city of Quebec and second largest city in Canada.

Most people are bilingual, however, and speak both English and French. The city is composed of 19 large boroughs and are subdivided in neighborhoods. Downtown, the historic district of Old Montreal, Chinatown, the Gay Village, and other neighborhoods of interest are located in borough Ville-Marie.

As you can expect from a large and vibrant city, there is a lot to see and do in Montreal. From culture, art to festivals, nature and other recreational activities. Montreal has something for everyone. Just to name a few:

• Montreal Botanic Garden – recognized as one of the largest and most beautiful botanic gardens in the world

Agenda

The agenda of the 2025 GDAP Meeting is expected to be available at the end of June 2026.

2026 GDAP Meeting

The 2026 GEWEX Data and Analysis Panel (GDAP) meeting is hosted by McGill University, Montreal, Canada and will take place from 14–17 July 2026.

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 annual GDAP Meeting is organized to bring together theoretical and experimental insights into the radiative interactions and climate feedbacks associated with cloud processes. During this meeting, participants, including panel members and invited local speakers, will evaluate the progress of the ongoing GDAP evaluations and projects and 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 Goals  and the WCRP Lighthouse activities are at the heart of these discussions.
