Thank you for your participation in the 2nd GEWEX Convection-Permitting Climate Modeling workshop. Most of the oral presentations have been recorded and the slides and posters can be found on the Presentations tab.

We want to draw your attention to the Latsis Symposium 2019 on "High-Resolution Climate Modeling: Perspectives and Challenges" which is organized together with the 3rd GEWEX Workshop on Convection-Permitting Climate Modeling.

Latsis Symposium 2019 on "High-Resolution Climate Modeling: Perspectives and Challenges
August 21-23, 2019
ETH Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland
http://latsis2019.ethz.ch/

The 2nd GEWEX Convection-Permitting Climate Modeling Workshop will focus on scientific and technical challenges related to convection-permitting climate modeling (horizontal grid spacing ≤4 km). These challenges include the model setup, observational datasets, evaluation techniques, computational resources, model intercomparisons, and the use of convection-permitting simulations in impact research. The 3-day meeting's aim is to foster collaborations and synergies to work on this challenging topic as a community. There will be oral and poster sessions, several invited talks on key topics, and multiple opportunities for discussions and networking.

Applications Open through May 31, 2018.

Participants will be notified in early June.

Key Topics:

Convection-permitting modeling and the water cycle
Modeling of tropical phenomena
Analysis of convection-permitting climate & weather simulations
Model setup in convection-permitting simulations
Observational datasets and advanced evaluation techniques
Convection-permitting modeling across scales (S2S)
