7th WGNE Workshop on Systematic Errors in Weather and Earth System Models (SEW 2027)
Dates: 15–19 February 2027
Location: Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), Pune, India
Abstract Submission Deadline: 20 September 2026 (extended)
The workshop aims to bring together a wide range of experts on simulating the Earth System including atmosphere, ocean, waves, land-surface, atmospheric composition, and associated disciplines to advance the understanding of systematic simulation errors at all timescales. A summary paper will document key findings and identify priority biases in Earth System Models (ESMs).
Of interest are abstract submissions on systematic errors in physics based or machine learning based models, of all components of the Earth System including coupled and individual component models. In broad, submissions can be made under one of these 6 topics. These topics invite contributions that help to increase understanding of the nature and cause of systematic errors in ESMs.
Science Topics include:
- Diagnosing and Attributing Systematic Errors
- Scale Interactions and Resolution Transitions
- Deficiencies in physical parameterisation
- Coupled Earth System Feedbacks
- Impacts on Circulation, Variability, and Predictability
- Uncertainty and Ensembles
Southwestern US Weather & Water Resilience Workshop
Dates: 18–19 November 2026
Location: Tucson, AZ, USA, plus virtual participation
Abstract Submission Deadline: 31 August 2026 (extended)
The workshop will bring together researchers, resource managers, natural hazards planners, and forecasters to discuss:
- Operational forecasting and planning needs for water resilience
- Scientific gaps in precipitation processes, impacts, and predictability
- Opportunities for coordination around current and planned field campaigns, such as the Department of Energy’s DUSTIEAIM and NASA’s ARID
- The potential development of an Arizona regional mesonet observing system
- New collaborative research and proposal opportunities
The program will include invited talks, panels, breakout discussions, and interactive poster sessions. Confirmed speakers include Allison Aiken, lead investigator for DUSTIEAIM; Andrew Feldman and Shawn Serbin, lead investigators for ARID; Cindy Kobold of Arizona Public Service; Tom Dang from the National Weather Service; and Meg Fowler with NSF NCAR’s Earth System Predictability Across Timescales initiative.

WWRP 2027 Conference on Advancing Weather Science for Resilient Societies
Dates: 23–25 August 2027
Location: Nanjing University, Nanjing, China
Abstract Submission Deadline: 31 December 2026
The 2027 World Weather Research Program Conference on Advancing Weather Science for Resilient Societies (WWRP 2027) will take place in Nanjing, China from 23-25 August 2027. The Conference will help accelerate progress toward the goals of WWRP’s Implementation Plan which should be approved at the time of the Conference. Those goals aim to enable significant advancements in weather prediction, early warning systems, and disaster preparedness. The integration of novel datasets, AI, ML, and societal observations, together with increasingly interdisciplinary approaches to Earth system prediction (e.g., integrating land, cryosphere, ocean, and hydrological components with the atmosphere), will lead to more accurate and timely forecasts, improved decision-making during crises, and greater global cooperation in addressing the challenges posed by extreme weather events. Ultimately, this conference will contribute to a more resilient and informed global society in the face of a rapidly changing climate aims to advance the full forecast value cycle, from observations and prediction through to communication, preparedness, and risk governance, with a strong emphasis on impact-based, people-centered, and equitable early warning systems.
Abstract submissions are invited that contribute to one or more of the following objectives:
- Advancing fundamental weather research and interdisciplinary approaches, including physical, social, and Earth system sciences.
- Accelerating the transition from research to operations and societal application, particularly in data-sparse regions and developing countries.
- Supporting the next generation of impact-based, multi-hazard and cascading risk warning systems, co-designed with practitioners and users.
- Improving the quantification, communication, and use of uncertainty in a changing climate.
- Enhancing innovation in physical and societal observation systems to strengthen preparedness and resilience.
