Webinars
Upcoming webinars are listed below and login details can be found in the calendar.
Phenomena, Observations, and Synthesis Webinar Series
This series will feature experts, with a focus on early career researchers, who are working on research topics of interest to the US CLIVAR Phenomena, Observations, and Synthesis (POS) Panel. The Panel's mission is to improve understanding of climate variations in the past, present, and future, and to develop syntheses of critical climate parameters while sustaining and improving the global climate observing system. The webinars are held on the first Monday of the month @ 12pm ET.
Process Study Webinar Series
The Process Studies and Model Improvement Panel hosted webinar series aims to provide feedback to process studies. The goals of this webinar series are 1) to provide feedback on the plans and challenges for individual process studies and 2) to distill programmatic lessons from process studies and field campaigns to help current and future observational programs to effectively meet the broader goals of improving the understanding of physical processes in the ocean and the atmosphere and to translate this understanding into improved observational and modeling capabilities. The webinars are typically held on the fourth Tuesday of the month @ 2pm ET.
Upcoming Webinars
Charlotte Demott, Colorado State University
During an 18-month period spanning 2022-2023, a group of seventeen scientists responded to a call put forth by managers from NASA, NOAA, NSF, ONR, and DOE to develop a "well-defined strategy to advance observing and modeling capabilities and understanding of air-sea interaction at all required scales for Earth system prediction (ESP).” The “air-sea transition zone” (ASTZ) study group’s expertise covered oceanography, atmospheric science, air-sea interaction, in situ measurements, remote sensing, process understanding, parameterization, coupled modeling, and data assimilation. The findings of this group were published in 2023, and include a survey of current capabilities and existing gaps for observing, understanding, and modeling ASTZ processes, plus recommendations for technology development and deployment strategies to advance ESP capabilities. This talk will summarize the findings of the ASTZ Study Group report and offer some early assessments of how ongoing and planned process studies harmonize with these recommendations.
Predictability, Predictions, and Applications Interface Webinar Series
This series features experts who are working on research topics of interest to the Predictability, Predictions, and Applications Interface (PPAI) Panel. The Panel's mission is to foster improved practices in the provision, validation and uses of climate information and forecasts through coordinated participation within the US and international climate science and applications communities. The Panel members act as facilitators, assisting in moving climate science forward. The webinars are held on the third Wednesday of the month @ 2pm ET.
Variations Webinar Series
This series features presentations from the most recent edition of the quarterly publication, Variations. Hear from a variety of speakers on topics related to climate variability and predictability on interseasonal-to-centennial time scales. The webinars will be held quarterly upon release of newest Variations editions.
Upcoming Webinars
Antonietta Capotondi, NOAA Physical Sciences Laboratory and University of Colorado / Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences
Scott Powell, Naval Postgraduate School
Learn about the science and tools helping us to better observe, model, understand, and predict key coupled ocean-atmosphere processes. Hear from Antonietta Capotondi on Tropical Pacific observing needs for Earth system predictions and Scott Powell on Will we have the marine atmospheric boundary layer observations necessary to realize the "Decade of Convection" in the tropics?
