ric Processes:
2nd Pan-GASS meeting sponsored by the
ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science

6th February 2018 - 2nd March 2018, Lorne, Victoria, Australia
Call for abstracts:
The 2nd Pan-GASS
meeting focused on ‘Understanding and Modelling Atmospheric Processes’ aims
to bring together NWP and climate scientists, observationalists and modell
ers to discuss the key issues of atmospheric science and to coordinate effo
rts to improve weather and climate models. The program will include all asp
ects and methods of model development from deterministic numerics to stocha
stic forcing; process modelling to parametrization; observational constrain
ts to diagnostic techniques; idealized modelling to operational forecasting
and climate predictions.
The meeting will mainly cover the following themes, but can include other topics related to understanding and modellin g the atmosphere:
● Surface drag and momentum transport: orographic d
rag, convective momentum transport
● Processes relevant for polar pred
iction: stable boundary layers, mixed-phase clouds
● Shallow and deep
convection: stochasticity, scale-awareness, organization, grey zone issues<
br />● Clouds and circulation feedbacks: boundary-layer clouds, CFMIP, cirr
us
● Microphysics and aerosol-cloud interactions: microphysical observ
ations, parameterization, process studies on aerosol-cloud interactions
● Radiation: circulation coupling; interaction between radiation and clou
ds
● Land-atmosphere interactions: Role of land processes (snow, soil
moisture, soil temperature, and vegetation) in sub-seasonal to seasonal (S2
S) prediction
● Physics-dynamics coupling: numerical methods, scale-se
paration and grey-zone, thermodynamic consistency
● Next generation mo
del development: the challenge of exascale, dynamical core developments, re
gional refinement, super-parametrization
● High Impact and Extreme Wea
ther: role of convective scale models; ensembles; relevant challenges for m
odel development
On the above topics, we invite you to s ubmit abstracts broadly addressing one of the key ingredients for modelling atmospheric processes:
● Process understanding
● Recent model d
evelopments and their impact on weather and climate prediction
● Obser
vational and high resolution constraints for improving models
● Emergi
ng and innovative observing and modelling approaches
