9th GEWEX Water Vapor Assessment (G-VAP) Workshop
Dates: 22+23 April 2026
Location: Copenhagen, Denmark
Abstract Submission Deadline: 16 March 2026
The 9th GEWEX Water Vapor Assessment (G-VAP) Workshop is hosted by the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) in Copenhagen, Denmark and will take place from 22-23 April 2026.
The main objectives of the G-VAP are:
- Quantifying the state of the art in water vapour products being constructed for climate applications, and, by this
- Supporting GEWEX Data and Analysis Panel ‘s (GDAP’s) selection process of water vapor products for its generation of globally consistent water and energy cycle products.
All three GCOS Essential Climate Variables on water vapor are considered.
It has been a while since the G-VAP community last met. Thus, a key objective is to finally meet again and catch up. Else, the objectives of the 9th G-VAP workshop are to:
- Discuss latest results from analysis of atmospheric water vapour and its role in the climate system
- Finalize the World Climate Research Program (WCRP) report on G-VAP results
- Discuss and plan the future of G-VAP
- Liaise with related initiatives and projects
Dates: 06-09 July 2026
Location: Stuttgart, Germany
Abstract Submission Deadline: 28 February 2026
The GEWEX Global Land-Atmosphere System Studies Panel (GLASS) will hold its first Pan-GLASS Conference, “Back to the Drawing Board: From Fundamentals to Improved Models of the Coupled Land-Atmosphere System” (Pan-GLASS 2026). This conference is organized and performed by the Institute of Physics and Meteorology of the University of Hohenheim in Stuttgart, Germany, and the GLASS Panel with support of the International GEWEX Project Office of the World Climate Research Program (WCRP) and will take place in Stuttgart from 06-09 July 2026.
Pan-GLASS 2026 will bring together experts on Earth system, weather, and climate research, soil and vegetation processes, surface fluxes, planetary boundary layer transport processes, clouds and precipitation, and machine learning. At the conference, observationalists, theoreticians, and modelers will join to discuss the key issues of land-atmosphere science. The program will include all aspects and methods of modeling and observing land-atmosphere interactions across different temporal-spatial scales: e.g., from diurnal to decadal; from ground-based measurements to satellite data; from large-eddy simulations to global earth system models. The topical areas will cover a wide spectrum from process understanding to parametrization development such as surface fluxes and their driving variables, the effects of land surface heterogeneity, evapotranspiration and entrainment, cloud and precipitation feedbacks; advanced observations including data processing and quality control; and idealized modeling to operational forecasting from subseasonal to seasonal, and prediction from seasonal to decadal and century and even longer timescales. The key objectives of this conference are to connect the land-atmosphere interactions community as well as to achieve progress in the understanding and modeling of the land-atmosphere system, to coordinate current international initiatives and make plans for the future.
ParaChute International Conference
Dates: 13–17 July 2026
Location: Reading, UK
EXTENDED Abstract Submission Deadline: 20 February 2026
Abstract submissions are welcome for the ParaChute conference, which will be held 13-17 July 2026 in Reading, UK and is organized by the ParaChute program. The focus of the conference is on turbulence and convection in km and sub-km scale models, and we are seeking contributions on the following conference themes:
- Observing turbulent and convective processes
- Representing the turbulent grey zone
- Representing the convective grey zone
- Interactions between microphysics and turbulence
- Role of dynamics representation in representing turbulent processes
- Upscale transfer of turbulence-driven uncertainty in predictability
- Diurnal cycle of deep convection
Abstracts should have at most 400 words and submissions are limited to two per participant.
Some limited funding is available to support or partially support the attendance of a few early career researchers who would otherwise not be able to join. If you would like to be considered for early career scientist funding support, please indicate this in the submission form. An early career scientist is defined as a student, a PhD candidate, or a practicing scientist who received their highest certificate (e.g. BSc, MSc or PhD) within the past seven years.
Please note that there is no abstract submission fee. A conference fee will be charged at the point of registration following the announcement of the program schedule in March 2026. This fee is expected to be no more than £300, and student and early-bird discounts will likely be offered. Virtual participation will be accommodated.

Scientific Reports for the Compound extreme events Collection
Journal: Scientific Reports – Springer Nature Group Programme
Research: Compound extreme events Collection
Submission deadline: 30 April 2026
This Collection welcomes original research on compound extreme events, including dynamics, forecasting and risk assessment, but also strategies to mitigate their impact. Modelling and estimation studies supported by observational data will also be considered.
