Meetings of Interest

From May 24 to 28, attendees will discuss progress toward research road maps in marine shallow cloud systems and deep convective systems, as well as progress on other relevant ACPC topics. There will be two sessions for shallow clouds (May 24 and 25) and two sessions for deep clouds (May 26 and 27), with an additional session for discussion and scientific steering committee activities on May 28.

From June 10 to 11, 2021, join colleagues for an interactive, virtual workshop with leaders in the field of land-atmosphere interactions.

The workshop, “Improving understanding of land-atmosphere interactions through integration of surface flux and atmospheric boundary layer measurements,” is in support of the AmeriFlux “Year of Water Fluxes,” and features community representation from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility and Atmospheric System Research (ASR) program.

The workshop will address the following questions:

• What are the high-priority research questions that can be addressed with existing measurements?
• What new boundary layer measurements should be prioritized, and where? What are the cutting-edge research questions that could be addressed with these new measurements?
• What is needed to increase interdisciplinary collaboration between ecologists/biogeoscientists and atmospheric scientists? How can we best share tools that are necessary to process, analyze, and interpret boundary layer measurements?
• How can this kind of collaboration improve predictive understanding of biosphere-atmosphere interactions and land-atmosphere coupling?

Registration is free and open to interested researchers around the world. The registration portal will open soon, and will close on May 25.

The Joint Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) User Facility/Atmospheric System Research (ASR) Principal Investigators Meeting will be held virtually June 21 to 24, 2021. This meeting will bring together ASR researchers, ARM users, and ARM infrastructure members to review progress and discuss scientific priorities for ASR research and the ARM user facility.

There will be no registration fee for the virtual meeting, and all ASR researchers, ARM staff, and ARM users are welcome to attend. We welcome your participation as it enables us to maintain ASR and ARM as world leaders in atmospheric research.

The 2021 virtual joint meeting will include plenary sessions, breakout sessions, and poster sessions for ASR scientists and ARM users to present their research results. In addition, the meeting will provide opportunities for informal networking and for researchers to interact with ARM staff and learn more about ARM capabilities.

The formal meeting sessions will run Monday, June 21, through Thursday, June 24, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern time, with informal networking sessions planned from 4:15 to 5 p.m. Eastern.

More information about the meeting, including how to register, a draft agenda, and instructions on submitting poster abstracts and breakout session requests, can be found on the meeting website.

Held virtually July 26 to 30, the TAI4ES Summer School will focus on developing trustworthy AI for the earth & environmental sciences.

The Joint Center for Satellite Data Assimilation (JCSDA) will hold its sixth biannual JEDI Academy from June 21 to 25, 2021. This virtual training workshop will introduce new users to the design and structure of JEDI, a data assimilation system for earth system prediction. JEDI is designed to easily accommodate new atmospheric and oceanic models and observation systems. The Zoom workshop will feature lectures and interactive activities that will teach participants how to access, use, and contribute to JEDI software.

For more information about the JEDI Academy and to register, visit the JCSDA website. Registration is limited to 50 applicants.

Due to COVID-19, the International Cloud Modeling Workshop in Pune, India is rescheduled for July 2021.

Note: The dates and venue information listed here are placeholders and will be later confirmed. In the meantime, visit the workshop website for news and updates.

About this event: International Cloud Modelling Workshops are traditionally held every four years, in the temporal and spatial vicinity of the ICCP. The emphasis is on cloud microphysics (weather modification background). Specific cases are selected and run before the workshop and results are discussed at the workshop. A report from the workshop is typically presented at the ICCP.

Planned workshop cases include:

• PI Chamber Simulation Case: Modeling Aerosol-Cloud-turbulence Interactions in the Cloud Chamber
• Aerosol effect in deep convective clouds under different monsoon environments over the Indian peninsula: a CAIPEEX-Case study
• Isolated cumulus congestus based on SCMS campaign: comparison between Eulerian bin and Lagrangian particle-based microphysics
• Convection in Strong Vertical Wind Shear: The 2 Aug COPE Case

Applications for ACCESS XVI, the Sixteenth Atmospheric Chemistry Colloquium for Emerging Senior Scientists, are now being accepted. Applications must be completed online at https://www.bnl.gov/accesscolloquium/ before March 31, 2021. An announcement with more information on ACCESS is attached.

The purpose of ACCESS is to bring together young researchers in atmospheric chemistry and representatives of the principal federal government agencies that fund atmospheric chemistry research to engage in scientific discussion and interaction. The meetings will forge future professional relationships, and the entire atmospheric science community will benefit by becoming more aware of innovations in atmospheric chemistry through presentations by ACCESS participants and through these interactions.

Plans for the format and location of ACCESS XVI are uncertain due to COVID, but the application and selection process will proceed independently of meeting plans.
