Europe/Rome 2019-05-27 08:00:00 2019-06-05 22:00:00 International Young Scientists School and Conference on Computational Information Technologies for Environmental Sciences: “CITES-2019” | (smr 3339) Programme for the Conference (3 - 6 June 2019) is available via the following link: http://www.scert.ru/en/conferences/cites2019/ Organizers: E. Gordov Institute for Monitoring of Climate and Ecological Systems, SB RAS, Russia V. Khan Hydrometcentre of Russia M. Tolstykh Marchuk Institute of Numerical Mathematics RAS and Hydrometcentre of Russia ICTP Contact/Organizer: A. Tompkins, ICTP, Trieste, Italy The theme of the School is subseasonal to decadal (S2D) weather and climate predictions. The school will cover aspects from the modeling and data assimilation to forecast information delivery and relevant practical applications.   Recently, The accuracy of S2D predictions have significantly advanced, exploiting potential sources of atmosphere predictability, such as interactions of the atmosphere with the ocean, sea-ice, land surface, and internal atmosphere modes of variability such as the MJO and QBO. The event comprises of a one-week School with lectures given by leading experts from the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) Working Group on Subseasonal to Interdecadal Prediction (WGSIP), introducing systems from some of the world’s leading operational centers. The lectures will be complemented by lab exercises using open-access data of near-real time and historical forecasts. In the second week, the Computational Information Technologies for Environmental Sciences Conference will take place. More information on the Conference, including abstract requirements, is available at: http://www.scert.ru/en/conferences/cites2019/ Topics: • Subseasonal prediction; • Seasonal prediction; • Interannual prediction; • Earth system modelling; • Practical applications of long range forecasts. Speakers include: L. Batte, Meteo-France L. Ferranti, ECMWF, UK D. Hudson, BoM, Australia V. Khan, Hydrometcentre of Russia Lee, June-Yi, University of Pusan, Korea B. Merryfield, CCMA, Canada R. Saural, CIMA, University of Buenos Aires, Argentina A. Tompkins, ICTP, Trieste, Italy M. Tolstykh, INM RAS, Russia The School invites applications from PhD students, early career scientists and national meteorological services specialists. A working knowledge of English language is required and a motivation letter in English forms part of the application process. Participants are expected to know how to handle NetCDF data and to visualize them. Moscow - Russian Federation ICTP pio@ictp.it 27 May 2019 - 5 Jun 2019

Europe/Rome 2019-05-27 08:00:00 2019-06-07 22:00:00 Fifth Workshop on Water Resources in Developing Countries: Hydroclimate Modeling and Analysis Tools | (smr 3294) The Workshop is addressed to researchers from developing regions working on hydro-climate modelling with the aim to foster international research and educational projects on topics related to climate and hydrology, and will be a contribution to the G-WADI programme within the framework of UNESCO IHP VIII (2014-2021), Water Security: Responses to Local Regional and Global Challenges.   Description:   GEWEX is the lead project for WCRP’s Grand Challenge on Water Availability, which focuses on how fresh water availability will shift due to climate change in many food producing regions of the world. Fresh water availability can vary over in time due to reductions or increases in precipitation, evapotranspiration, runoff, ground water recharge or discharge, and snow melt.   Climate extremes are one factor that can influence the intensity of precipitation in time, the snow melt timing and the exchange of water with land and, therefore, the storage of a region. All these make it imperative to better understand and predict precipitation variability and change.   To this aim, the climate model community and, in particular, the regional climate community from one end is moving toward very high resolution simulation ensemble efforts down to the scale of the convection permitting resolution (1-3 km); and from the other end is working to implement fully coupled Earth System models to be able to understand the role of coupled water cycle and land atmosphere interactions in understanding local climate response.   This will open new frontiers for the hydrological modeling community by bridging the spatial scale gap between regional climate models and impact models (hydrological models, ecosystem models, etc.); which will, in turn, affect the quality of the prediction of the hydrological cycle across several scales, from catchments to regional to global.   Topics:   • Precipitation measurements: what we can use to validate precipitation coming from the model output? • Ensemble of high resolution regional climate model outputs: how can those be used as input of a hydrological model? • Regional Earth System models: which is the role of the coupled water cycle? • Uncertainty in global and regional climate projections: how can this uncertainty be taken into account for hydro-climate simulation?

Europe/Rome 2019-07-01 08:00:00 2019-07-12 22:00:00 2nd ICTP Summer School on Theory, Mechanisms and Hierarchical Modelling of Climate Dynamics: Convective Organization and Climate Sensitivity | (smr 3304) The school will focus on the organization of convection in the tropics and its possible implications for climate sensitivity. Some idealized convection permitting models show spontaneous clustering of convection can occur, drying the tropical atmosphere and increasing infrared emission to space. This effect could imply a strong negative feedback on the climate that may be missing or poorly represented in global climate models. However, there is open debate concerning the mechanisms involved, the implications for climate, the evidence in the observations, the role of shallow clouds and convection, the spatial scales of instability and the connection of this idealized aggregation to common examples of tropical organization such as the Madden Julian Oscillation or tropical cyclones. The event will consist of a one-week school, with some introductory lectures and the chance to work with observations and model output to address questions related to convective organization. In the second week, participants will benefit from open debate with over 20 of the world’s leading scientists in the field. Experts will work with student groups to summarize the debates in position papers, including results from the first week’s exercises. Topics: • Models of radiative-convective equilibrium • Convective organization in high resolution models • Evidence for organization in observations • Implications for climate and climate sensitivity • Representation in global models and their parameterization schemes • Connection to MJO, hurricanes and other examples of convective organization Invited speakers include: Biasutti, Michela, IRI Columbia U., USA Bony, Sandrine, LMD, France Bordoni, Simona, Caltech, USA Chaboureau, Jean-Pierre, Toulouse U./CNRS, France Cronin Timothy, MIT, USA Craig, George, LMU, Germany Emanuel, Kerry, MIT, USA Gezahegn, Addisu, LMD, France Grabowski, Wojciech, UCAR, USA Khairoutdinov, Marat, Stonybrook U., USA Khouider, Boualem, Victoria U., Canada Mapes, Brian, Miami U., USA Marshall John, MIT, USA Moncrieff, Mitch, UCAR, USA Pincus, Rob, NOAA, USA Randall, David, CSU, USA Sherwood,Steve, UNSW,Australia Stevens, Bjorn, MPIM, Germany Vallis, Geoff K., Exeter U., U.K. Yang, Da, Berkley U., USA Zuidema, Paquita, RSMAS Miami, USA ICTP ICTP pio@ictp.it 1 Jul 2019 - 12 Jul 2019
