The 2026 GEWEX Data and Analysis Panel (GDAP) meeting is hosted by McGill University, Montreal, Canada and will take place from 14–16 July 2026.
The central question that governs the GDAP mission is: “how sensitive is the Earth system to changes in radiative and other forcings?” Answering this question will enable improved prediction of transient natural variations, such as El Niño, and provide better understanding of the consequences of natural and human-induced Earth system changes.
The annual GDAP Meeting is organized to bring together theoretical and experimental insights into the radiative interactions and Earth system 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), the GEWEX Science Goals are at the heart of these discussions.
The agenda of the 2026 GDAP Meeting is expected to be available at the end of June 2026 at https://www.gewexevents.org/meetings/2026gdap/agenda/.
All presentations and reports can be uploaded at https://www.gewexevents.org/meetings/2026gdap/gdap-documents/file-upload/. All documents and uploads can be viewed at https://www.gewexevents.org/meetings/2026gdap/gdap-documents/documents/ (password protected).
