Addressing Global Food Security in a Changing Environment

Location: Latrobe (Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor)

Food security is a key pillar of environmental security and lies at the heart of human well-being and prosperity. However, it remains one of the world’s greatest challenges and is increasingly threatened by our changing environment. Our food system – including the production, distribution, and consumption of food – is highly vulnerable to extreme weather and climate events. The interactions between weather, climate, and the food system have a significant impact on food security by affecting the availability, access, utilization, and stability of food. However, the global food system is not only vulnerable to environmental changes, but also a major driver of these changes as a significant source of global greenhouse gas emissions.

In line with the theme of the 104th AMS Annual Meeting, addressing food security in the context of a changing environment will require engagement from the physical and social sciences, policy-makers, practitioners, and other stakeholders. Therefore, this session will bring together diverse perspectives to explore the role of the AMS community in addressing global food security in a changing environment. We welcome submissions on, but not limited to, the following:

how advances in earth-system and data driven modeling, improvements in seasonal to sub-seasonal forecasting, and enhanced precipitation predictions (including drought and excessive precipitation) are applied in the context of food security;
observations to support food-security monitoring, and drought and famine early warning;
engaging with users and decision-makers and communicating scientific uncertainty effectively to food-security stakeholders;
engaging with stakeholders and forecasters to better capture their expertise and feedback into climate and food system prediction through the operations-to-research and research-to-operations (O2R-R2O) nexus;
climate change adaptation and mitigation across the food system;
attribution of meteorological and climate impacts for food security applications;
addressing systemic risks and cascading crises across the food system;
enabling humanitarian action and sustainable development to support food security;
environmental justice and equitable food access; and
impacts of extreme events across the food system.

The Climate Services Value Chain: Presentations

Location: Key 10 (Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor)

The climate services value chain is comprised of 4 separate components - Data measurement and collection is the start of the chain. This is where meteorologists and climatologists gather data from a variety of sources, ranging from in-situ and remote sensing to modeled data. The second piece of the value chain is product or service development. This is where the value is added to the raw data and is typically tailored to meet the needs of specific stakeholder or user groups. From there, data delivery is the next step of the chain. This is an essential step for disseminating and communicating the products and services to the end user. The final step of the value chain is the end user using the service or product that was provided to them. This session will be a panel discussion, featuring experts from each step of the value chain. The panel discussion will provide an opportunity to promote successful examples of the value chain and also to identify gaps and offer solutions.

We are children of the Quaternary period (2.6 mya - present), but we are increasingly apprehensive about our future prospects in the so-called "Anthropocene" epoch. Our species (Homo sapiens) emerged in the Pleistocene and survived scores of major climatic fluctuations, including multiple ice ages and interglacial epochs. Civilization developed in the Holocene, the most recent interglacial epoch. Was human survival and flourishing due to wisdom and knowledge, technology, social organization, luck, or to a number of such interacting factors? On the other hand, could such human attributes also generate additional problems?

Turning to the historical record, ancient, medieval, early modern, and enlightenment-era natural philosophers and scientists of the 19th and 20th centuries speculated on the causes of climate change. The social history of droughts, floods, volcanic weather, and other environmental disturbances also provides rich opportunities to examine human responses, both conceptual and organizational.

Papers are invited that propose to address and contextualize, in some detail, one or more of these issues.

Advances in Observational and Modeling Studies of Mineral Dust in the Earth System I

Location: 328 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Dust aerosols play important roles in the Earth system by degrading air quality, influencing weather systems, perturbing radiation budget, modulating biogeochemical cycles, and affecting the climate. Assessing these impacts requires realistic and accurate characterization of dust particle properties, emissions, transport, and deposition. This session invites presentations that report the latest advances in modeling and observational characterization of dust and its impacts on various components of the Earth system, including but not limited to: (1) properties and distributions of dust assessed from in situ and remote sensing measurements; (2) dust emission and transport quantified using observations and models; (3) dust variability in association with climate variability and anthropogenic activities on various time scales; (4) effects of dust aerosols on radiation budget and cloud microphysics (i.e., direct, indirect, and semi-direct effects); (5) interactions of dust with precipitation, circulation, and regional climate (e.g., African easterly jet–African easterly wave system, African and Indian monsoons, tropical cyclones, mesoscale convective complexes, and springtime cyclones over Southern Europe and Asia); (6) interactions with global biogeochemical cycle; (7) dust impacts on air quality and public health; and (8) novel use of observations to constrain dust modeling.

Advancing Atmospheric Science Research using Global Navigation Satellite Systems Technology

Location: 326 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Remote sensing observations that utilize Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals have been used in geophysical research for decades. GNSS signals are particularly useful for various forms of geophysical research due to their high precision and insensitivity to clouds and precipitation. As such, GNSS observations such as radio occultations (GNSS-RO), GNSS reflections (GNSS-R), and the expanding network of ground stations provide high-quality global atmospheric and ionospheric retrievals useful in a wide variety of research. These observations also greatly contribute to numerical simulation systems and their data assimilation tools for accurate forecasts and early warning systems for natural hazards of many origins.

This session welcomes submissions including, but not limited to the following topics:

1. Neutral atmospheric research topics and related GNSS applications,

2. GNSS remote sensing technology advancement and novel observing concepts,

3. State-of-the-art atmospheric and surface property retrieval algorithm developments, and

4. Numerical weather prediction, ionospheric forecasting, and natural hazard now-casting applications of GNSS remote sensing products for data analysis and data assimilation impacts

Large-Scale Atmospheric Dynamics and Climate: Jet Streams, Storm Tracks, Stationary Waves, and Monsoons I

Location: Ballroom III/ IV (The Baltimore Convention Center)

The large-scale atmospheric circulation redistributes heat, moisture, and atmospheric tracers around the globe, playing a key role in shaping regional climate and climate change. The large-scale circulation is in turn shaped by the interactions of large-scale dynamics with the global energy budget and hydrological cycle and with smaller scale processes such as mesoscale motions and cloud processes. Disentangling the many processes that shape the large-scale circulation and its response to climate change requires a combination of conceptual understanding, hierarchical modeling, and observations.

We welcome observational, modeling, and theoretical studies on the dynamics of large-scale atmospheric circulations such as the jet streams, storm tracks (including blocking and atmospheric rivers), stationary waves, monsoons, and tropical overturning circulations. Contributions on the response of these circulations to climate change are particularly encouraged

Location: 345/346 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Upper Tropospheric and Stratospheric Processes (Chemical, Radiative and Dynamical)

Location: 310 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

This session invites studies addressing upper tropospheric and stratospheric composition and interactions with chemistry, dynamics and climate. Of particular interest are studies examining stratospheric ozone changes associated with controls imposed by the Montreal Protocol, those examining upper troposphere/lower stratosphere composition using measurements from recent field campaigns, and studies on chemical and dynamical perturbations on the upper troposphere and stratosphere due to episodic events such as large pyro-cumulonimbus events and volcanic eruptions that reach the stratosphere as well as perturbations caused by the space launch industry. Reports on recent stratospheric aircraft campaigns addressing upper troposphere and stratosphere processes are welcome. Additional topics that would be applicable for this session are: 1) trends and variability in stratospheric composition; 2) the effects of increasing greenhouse gases on ozone recovery; 3) the relation between stratospheric composition and surface climate; 4) stratospheric aerosol-ozone-climate interactions associated with geo-engineering schemes. Observational and modeling studies ranging from local to global spatial scales and seasonal to centennial time scales are welcome.

Air Quality and Carbon Cycle Science of the African Continent

Location: 321/322 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Africa is a continent that is projected to double its population by the mid 21^st century. It will be home for 13 of the 20 largest megacities in the world with populations as high as 88 million in Lagos. Already many regions have high concentrations of ambient particulate matter and other health relevant pollutants, often driven by desert dust, biogenic, anthropogenic, biomass and trash burning emissions. This is further complicated by the projected future changes in emissions from anthropogenic sources that are expected to increase significantly with the rapid socio-economic development and growth of cities and megacities. Air pollution is thus emerging as a serious problem in Africa that can be mitigated by emission regulation. This effort requires an adequate monitoring of spatial and temporal patterns of pollutants and greenhouse gases and an improved characterization of sectoral emissions sources, natural fluxes and their chemical and physical evolution in the atmosphere. The effort of creating awareness of the issue by citizens and policy makers should go along with the scientific research to encourage local investment and commitment to mitigate air pollution The development of modelling systems dedicated to the continent will serve as a basis to improve our understanding and to accurately quantify the air pollutant and greenhouse gases fluxes across the continents when such large discrepancies remain between top-down and bottom-up estimates. The overarching goal is to shape pollutant and greenhouse gases abatement strategies to mitigate climate change with improved air quality.

Because of the lack of African in situ monitoring of air pollutants and the specificity and diversity of biofuel and fossil fuel use from anthropogenic sources, there is a need to assess uncertainties and short-comings of current emissions inventories. Biogenic, biomass burning, and desert dust pollutants are also subject to important errors that in turn impact major cities through long-range transport. This leads to complex vertical structures of gases and aerosols that can lower the reliability of satellite retrievals and are challenging the models. Using field campaign measurements, available networks of observations, satellite retrievals and model simulations, the goal is to accurately assess aerosol and gas abundance and composition in order to better quantify and potentially reduce the impacts on human health, ecosystems, and climate.

We invite contribution about:

Assessing existing observation datasets (monitoring networks and field campaigns), and identify gaps in current scientific understanding.
Improving estimates of anthropogenic, natural and biomass burning sectoral fluxes.
Characterize potential errors in satellite retrievals to improve the monitoring of the atmospheric composition and greenhouse gases from space.
Identifying missing physical and chemical processes and potential emergent constraints in a perturbed tropical environment.
Development of the next generation of Air Quality forecast models with data assimilation capabilities.

Seasonal-to-Decadal Earth System Prediction I

Location: 350 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Predicting impactful Earth system change on climate timescales is a research challenge with clear societal relevance that has seen rapid progress in recent years. Initialized ensemble climate simulations, such as the decadal prediction experiments coordinated by the Decadal Climate Prediction Project (DCPP) of the World Climate Research Programme, have considerably expanded the temporal and phenomenological horizons of what we consider to be potentially predictable environmental change. At the same time, new questions have emerged relating to model fidelity, sources of predictability, and optimal prediction system design. This session aims to bring together researchers focused on seasonal, multiyear, and decadal prediction to promote cross-fertilization across communities that share the common goal of advancing our understanding of predictable climate signals and our ability to harness them for societal benefit. We invite prediction-focused abstracts from diverse disciplines (ocean, atmosphere, land, sea ice, biogeochemistry) and particularly welcome contributions that bridge disciplines and/or timescales.

Special Session: The UFS-R2O Project: Advancing NOAA’s Unified Forecast System [UFS] as a Collaborative Community-Based Modeling System for Research and Operations I

Location: 323 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Funded jointly by NOAA’s National Weather Service (NWS) Office of Science and Technology Integration (OSTI) and the Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) Weather Program Office (WPO), the UFS-R2O Project has made significant progress since its inception in July 2020, coordinating a large community of researchers, both inside and outside NOAA, for integrating new research into the operational UFS applications.
The UFS-R2O Project was conceived with a focus on leveraging the nascent UFS community to build new UFS applications that will replace several existing operational modeling systems and simplify the NCEP Production Suite (NPS). The project consists of three integrated teams covering the global Medium Range Weather/Subseasonal to Seasonal (MRW/S2S); the regional Short Range Weather/Convection Allowing Modeling (SRW/CAM); and the Hurricane applications, and are supported by seven cross-cutting development teams.
This Special Session on UFS-R2O Project is aimed at providing highlights and the outcomes of the UFS R2O Project thus far, with emphasis on accomplishments and future plans from the UFS Application Teams and Development Teams, community engagement and collaborative environment, and plans for the future. We also seek to make the collaboration even more productive and bring in new team members from the UFS community to contribute to the improvement of the nation’s operational prediction systems for the benefit of all of us.

Strategies and Opportunities for Sharing Social Science Data

Location: Holiday 4 (Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor)

This session seeks abstracts to understand the opportunities and challenges surrounding the sharing of societal insight data.

Agriculture – Atmosphere Interactions

Location: 339 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Agriculture influences Earth’s atmosphere by enhancing emissions of reactive and greenhouse gases, altering the land surfaces available for dry deposition of pollutants, and modifying the cycling of carbon, nitrogen, water, and energy. At the same time, atmospheric composition affects agriculture via increased exposure to phytotoxic gases like ozone and aerosol-induced changes in solar radiation and precipitation. These connections range in scale from the process-level to the global carbon and nitrogen cycles. The emissions and sequestration of gases like NO_x, NH₃, N₂O, CO₂, and CH₄ from agriculture are an important emerging area of atmospheric and climate science.

This session invites presentations on all aspects of the coupled agrosphere-atmosphere system, including laboratory and field studies of key processes, model-based investigations of multi-system interactions and feedbacks, analysis of satellite remote sensing products, validation of emissions inventories, and extensions to economic, air quality, and climate impacts. Topics can include but are not limited to: emissions ratios, eddy covariance fluxes, gas-aerosol partitioning, aerosol composition, deposition, sequestration, fluctuations with meteorological conditions, impacts to sensitive ecosystems, and the usage of data to understand the intersectionality of food, energy, land, clean air, policy, and environmental justice.

Air Quality and Public Health Decisions with Earth Observations I - Federal Programs

Location: 344 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Communities across the globe tackle complex challenges relating to environmental health topics, including mitigating poor air quality, enhancing infectious disease preparedness, reinforcing national health system response, and how these topics are impacted by our consistently changing environment. Significant advancements have been achieved by incorporating the use of remotely sensed and other geospatial Earth data and technologies into their research applications but are increasingly important to integrate into decision-making frameworks within air quality and public health sectors. Through this session, we encourage submissions that describe research applications of multidisciplinary teams that incorporate Earth observations to advance existing knowledge about our changing planet. Possible topics can include, but are not limited to, environmental health risk assessments, research connected with current and future NASA missions, and community engagement with citizen science activities, in efforts to propel scientific advancements that improve health decision-making at local, national, and international levels.

Subseasonal-to-Seasonal (S2S) I: Stakeholder Needs and Priorities & Subseasonal-to-Seasonal (S2S) I: Predictions and Predictability

Location: Holiday 6 (Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor)

In recent years, we have seen increasing demands for subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) forecasts and products in hydrologic, transportation, agriculture, fisheries and other sectors that require specific information at different times to meet decision makers’ needs. As our S2S forecast systems are developing, we need to ensure that we are appropriately targeting the water resources, agriculture, fisheries, energy and defense needs of users. National Research Council studies and a recent survey by the Federal agencies have attempted to highlight needs for S2S prediction, yet a clear path to success remains elusive. A joint Federal effort to address S2S prediction has been proposed if a tractable path can be described.

This first session in a three part S2S-focused series highlights stakeholder needs and priorities for subseasonal (weeks) to seasonal (up to two years) forecast products and information. Parts 2 and 3 will focus on S2S Prediction/predictability and S2S Forecast system developments. For this session, we invite presentations addressing the pressing needs for S2S forecast information, current products in use, including forecast calibration and multi-model combination, metrics for evaluating products, and challenges around information dissemination and communication.

Exploiting Operational Satellites for Climate Data Record Generation and Analysis I

Location: 327 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Climate Data Records (CDRs) - developed by applying modern data analysis methods to historical global satellite data - are robust, sustainable, and scientifically sound climate records that provide trustworthy information on how, where, and to what extent the land, oceans, atmosphere and ice sheets are changing. These datasets are thoroughly vetted time series measurements with the longevity, consistency, and continuity to assess and measure climate variability and change. CDRs can be used to manage natural resources and agriculture, measure environmental impacts on human health and community preparedness, and inform policy development and decision making for other sectors and interest groups.

Probabilistic Particle-Based Methods in Aerosol-Cloud Microphysics Modeling I

Location: 329 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Particle-based microphysics models differ significantly from the conventional computational fluid dynamics approaches of representing aerosol, cloud and precipitation particle populations as separate categories of trace constituents modeled with continuous density fields (so-called bulk or bin models). The particle-based microphysics modeling techniques are also termed super-particle or super-droplet methods, because the simulation particles (or SIPs) represent a significant multiplicity of simulated aerosol/cloud/precipitation particles. The super-particles constitute a coarse-grained view of the aerosol particles, droplets and hydrometeors in both real and attribute space. The probabilistic aspects of the particle-based techniques are multifaceted and, depending on the model formulation, refer to randomly populating the phase space with super-particles and/or Monte-Carlo type representation of stochastic-in-nature processes such as coagulation, nucleation or small-scale motions. The aim of this session is to spin-up interactions among, on the one hand, research groups working on the development of particle-based aerosol/cloud simulation tools and, on the other hand, wider modeling community as well as experimentalists performing measurements relevant to model formulation and validation. We thus welcome contributions highlighting applications of the particle-based methodology in both aerosol-cloud interactions research and neighboring domains, as well as pitches for tackling open problems with particle-based methods. Session topics include (but are not limited to): (i) applications of particle-based microphysics models; (ii) comparisons with bulk and bin simulations; (iii) performance and scaling analyses including CPU/GPU usage strategies; (iv) flow-particle coupling aspects including subgrid scale motions; (v) phase-space sampling strategies; (vi) Monte-Carlo algorithms for particle-resolved models; (vii) coupling radiative-transfer models with particle-based microphysics; (viii) aerosol mixing state and biochemical properties in cloud simulations; (ix) mixed-phase particle-based models; (x) model validation against ambient and laboratory measurements.

Tending the Treasure Trove: Advancing Stewardship for Nonsatellite Earth Observations

Location: 336 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

While satellite platforms enable critical operational, research, and discipline-bridging Earth observations, non-satellite platforms have also proven instrumental in each of these areas. In fact, many satellite-borne instruments begin development as ground- and aircraft-based analogs, and essential satellite calibration/validation work relies on observations collected by sensors on non-satellite platforms. We use the term non-satellite, or suborbital, platforms to include anything not in space that hosts instruments - this includes aircraft, ships/vessels, balloons, buoys, vehicles, and stationary sites. Data obtained from instruments on these platforms are typically used initially for a specific, relatively focused purpose, whether operational like weather forecasting and environmental monitoring, or for research in a variety of disciplines, including physical process studies, validation of satellite observations and algorithms, assessment of numerical model output, and more.

The heterogeneity of collections of non-satellite observations is as vast as the science applications they serve, and this complexity creates significant challenges for data stewardship. Agencies are addressing these challenges in different ways. Publicly funded agencies have a responsibility to ensure access to data for emerging science questions and applications perhaps not envisioned or even possible at the time of data collection. As scientific studies now look to document and analyze changes to and variability in Earth’s natural processes, the treasure trove of suborbital data serve as irreplaceable records of the state of our planet at specific points in time and space. This session welcomes contributions relating to all aspects of non-satellite data stewardship, including data discovery, access, metadata, archival, formats and transformations, care of historical data, cloud optimization, and supporting FAIR and Open Science. Additionally, data user perspectives on challenges with locating, accessing, and using suborbital data, as well as the critical role these data can and will continue to play in assessing and documenting climate variability and change are encouraged.

The goal of the session is to advance inner- and cross-agency discussions and practices to protect and enhance the scientific and economic returns on the investment made in collecting these unique and valuable observations.

Potential Invited Presentations:

Toward Hydrologically Useful and Actionable Climate and Weather Model Output: Development, Evaluation, and Applications of Downscaling and Post-processing Methods

Location: 340 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Climate and weather models must span a global domain, necessitating a coarse spatial grid; however, most applications of those models need data at highly local spatial scales. In addition, these models have biases that preclude their direct application for some uses. Because of these mismatches, many different approaches have been developed to make climate and weather model output more useful and usable for hydrologic purposes. Statistical and dynamical downscaling and post-processing methods – and hybrid methods – allow these model outputs to better resolve features such as mountains, coastal boundaries and other hydroclimatic features. In addition, careful evaluation of their historical skill in current climate, statistical reliability for weather forecasts, and diagnosis of their representation of future changes are critical, and bias correction may be necessary for their application. Finally, understanding gained through applications of downscaled products provides key feedback between users and developers of the models and methods. We invite presentations on the development of downscaling models and datasets, post-processing and bias correction techniques, evaluations of different methods, and applications of downscaled products.

Submitters: Naomi Goldenson, Seattle, WA; Mimi R. Hughes, ESRL/Physical Sciences Laboratory, NOAA, Boulder, CO; Ethan D. Gutmann, NCAR, Boulder, CO; Rachel R. McCrary, RAL, NCAR, Fort Collins, CO and Daniel Feldman, LBNL, Berkeley, CA

WMO and Public-Private-Academic Engagement to Advance Climate Services: A Leadership Discussion

Location: 307 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Climate services are the provision and use of climate information to help individuals and organizations make climate-smart decisions. With the ever-increasing demand from all social and economic sectors, climate services can only be sustainable and effective if all players along the climate-service value chain are involved and mutually supported. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has actively promoted engagement among public, private, and academic sectors, as agreed to in the 2019 Geneva Declaration.

In this high level discussion, the WMO Secretary General, together with representatives from NOAA and the international philanthropic community will each highlight their approaches to leveraging the strength of different sectors and stakeholders to facilitate the transformation of climate science and knowledge into practical and productive climate services for societal benefit. Some additional questions to be considered include:

What are the key obstacles in developing and forging effective and mutually-beneficial engagement in climate services;
What strategies should be taken at global, regional and national levels to increase the institutional and technological capacities of National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) to support the growing needs for basic climate data and products on which better and more accessible climate services can be developed and delivered.

Following presentations by the panelists, the moderator will encourage all to participate in a Q&A session to further consider these important questions.

Micro-Weather Information (Observations, Forecasts, and Communications) for Advanced Air Mobility Operations

Location: 317 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

The commercial application of small Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS), which have much different weather sensitivities than traditional aircraft, has shown exponential growth in recent years, leading to the need for new weather information tailored to meet their still emerging needs. At the same time, plans for developing Urban Air Mobility (UAM) has brought new challenges for the analysis and prediction of aviation weather in the urban landscapes. Similarly, other forms of aviation that conduct flight outside of traditional airport settings such as helicopters and hot air balloons still face challenges in obtaining weather information for their flights. Numerous gaps in low-altitude weather sensing and multiple barriers to weather forecasting tailored for UAS/UAM operations must be overcome. Moreover, weather models, traditional sensing paradigms, and fusion systems cannot support the requirements of these latency-sensitive operations. The concept of "Digital Twins" is gaining popularity among the aviation weather community. A weather digital twin refers to a virtual replica of current and future weather, which enables testing different scenarios and assessing the outcomes of different decisions. By leveraging big data, it is possible to simulate and predict the behavior of a UAS/UAM in different weather conditions.

Next Generation Satellite Ground Architecture and Technological Advances

Location: 309 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Many weather satellite programs recognize that current ground operations will require future expansion and scalability to receive, ingest, process, and distribute ever-growing streams of data. This is recognized by NOAA, US Space Force, ESA, and other US and International Government satellite systems. The growing data volume will be coming from current and new sources and in higher numbers, including diverse missions of opportunities from national and international partners, including government as well as commercial sources. All these point to a significant increase in the volume of data to be processed, along with the increase in the complexity of exploitation methods. Such a major future expansion in data volumes requires higher agility, flexibility, resilience, adaptability of Government operated ground processing infrastructure. To achieve all that in a ground infrastructure, major satellite systems need to adopt innovations, new technologies and novel concepts to realize the required future shift in architectural expansion.

This session invites submissions describing innovations and technological advances from industry, New Space, academia, government research centers, and Collaborative Institutes. Papers should describe such innovations and technological advances in Constellation Mission Operation, Command and Control, Next Generation Ground Infrastructure, as well as Data Processing and Dissemination. The authors should describe these innovations as enabling factors for the future ground system architectures. Submissions should describe how these innovations would help in realizing cost-effective and sustainable ground architectures that support expanding future satellites operations. Examples may include new generations of satellite systems, extended automations in operations and Command and Control, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning (AI/ML/DL) capabilities across the value chain, and end to end cloud migration. The papers should conclude with clearly articulated lessons learned and forward-looking thinking.

Online Active Learning Demonstrations in the Atmospheric Sciences

Location: 308 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Technological adaptation and expanding modalities for content delivery have driven educators to engage students in new online capacities. This session builds on recent in-person active learning demonstration sessions by offering attendees the opportunity to directly participate in online active learning activities as well.

We invite submissions for demonstration of successfully-implemented online learning activities that attendees could implement in their own online environments. Demonstrations should be active, that is, the audience members should be encouraged to participate in them. Examples include but are not limited to synchronous collaborative activities over videoconference, computer programming training via a tool such as Jupyter Notebooks, or asynchronous web-based simulations or modules. The session will be conducted online, and each demonstrator will first have approximately two minutes to introduce their activity, its intended audience, and the learning context it fits into. Demonstrators will then simultaneously present their activities in online breakout rooms and participants can rotate through them.

Demonstrations should take no more than 13 minutes and should be accompanied by a supplementary link that outlines the activity for participants. We encourage making the learning activity material viewable before the session begins, to allow participants ample time to gain familiarity with any tools and their interfaces, although this is not a requirement for submission.

Other Topics on Meteorological Observation and Instrumentation II

Location: 341 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

This session serves as a general topic session for anything pertaining to measurements, observations, or instrumentation.

Space Weather and Human Exploration of Space: to the Moon, Mars, and Beyond

Location: Key 11 (Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor)

To explore strange new worlds, and to live on this one, humans must characterize the environment into which they will live and travel, and also must provide conditions in which they can thrive. No earlier than 2025, NASA/ESA/JAXA/CSA plan to establish a space station called Gateway that will orbit the Moon. Initially with no crew, Gateway will have instruments on board to monitor the radiation environment and gather data about the solar wind and space weather. Interestingly, Gateway will spend about 20% of its orbit inside Earth’s magnetotail, helping to answer questions about how that environment reacts to solar drivers. Combined together, data from Gateway instrumentation will help provide security for the human explorers who will spend time on board that space station. Also planned for 2025 is a human return to the lunar surface. While on the surface of the Moon and while in transit between Earth and Moon, astronauts will face conditions that will be similar to those between Earth and Mars, albeit on a shorter time scale. Future missions to the Moon and Mars rely on understanding the impacts of space weather on the environment, humans, and technology. To assure safe operations, mission planning will also consider how the environment changes with solar cycle (solar maximum is approximately 2025).

Location: 307 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Extreme weather events as manifestations of the influence of climate stressors, environmental and infrastructure degradation, socioeconomic inequities, and population growth and migration are increasing the potential for natural disasters. These events are complex, dynamic, multi-variate, and non-linear, and operate across natural, constructed, and human systems and include a high degree of uncertainty in predictability. This drives the imperative that shared knowledge and mutual understanding of processes, relationships, and challenges must be part of the transdisciplinary collaborative research and partnership framework aimed at a better understanding of these phenomena while considering the human and social elements that are necessary to reduce vulnerabilities and build resilience to increasing disaster risk. To optimize the effectiveness of these partnerships toward informing solutions, it will be necessary to facilitate convergence of social, disaster, natural, computational, and engineering sciences. Partnerships bring together a diversity of perspectives that can frame and guide research and operations across the weather, water, climate enterprise to address complex problems and find methodologies and solutions that can be employed to manage the consequences of natural disasters. As an essential component of this framework, partners must accept the shared responsibility of ensuring that the next generation of professionals entering the workforce experiences an immersive education that is inherently transdisciplinary in science and engineering, as well as in practice. Institutions that are intentional in developing programs with convergent curricular frameworks, which includes an ethos of diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice, are likely to be at the vanguard of new and innovative approaches to solving some of the most complex problems associated with vulnerability and improving resilience. This set of invited presentations will focus on the value of partnerships in developing convergence research frameworks and, in turn, how convergence strengthens the relationship and cooperation between partners.

Tools and Products for Real-time Monitoring of the Climate

Location: Key 10 (Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor)

As we continue to experience the effects of a changing climate, it is becoming increasingly important to monitor these changes as they’re happening. There are a plethora of climate monitoring products that are publicly available. Examples of federally produced tools include NOAA’s Climate at a Glance and the National Weather Service’s Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service (AHPS). Federal and academic partnerships have resulted in the production of products such as WestWide Drought Tracker from the Western Regional Climate Center and GrassCast from the USDA and National Drought Mitigation Center. State Climate Offices also provide suites of real-time monitoring products, including the Oklahoma Mesonet and CoCoRaHS Condition Monitoring from the Colorado Climate Center.

In addition to the wide range of products in the public domain, industry climate service providers are providing real-time monitoring tools to meet the needs of their specific users. This session will be an opportunity for climate service providers to showcase their monitoring products that are delivering up-to-date climate information to broad audiences.

Tribal Story Maps: Integrating and Sharing Tribal Knowledge and Science through the Visual Language of Geography.

Location: 301 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Advances on the Polarimetric Remote Sensing of Aerosols and Clouds

Location: 328 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

How clouds and aerosols interact with atmospheric radiation depends on their macro and microphysical properties, which are crucial for understanding their impacts on weather, climate, and air quality. The picture is complicated by the fact that aerosols serve as condensation nuclei for water droplets and ice crystals, and hence affect the cloud life-time, brightness, and precipitation efficiency in non-linear ways. Recent advances in polarimetric remote sensing and in situ instruments provide valuable information on the size, shape, composition, and optical properties of these particles at unprecedented temporal and spatial scales. On top of that, multiple US and international missions are planned in the coming years for detailed polarimetric measurements from space. These advances contribute to broaden our understanding of the complex interactions between aerosols, clouds, and radiation. This session invites presentations that report on the latest advances on passive and active polarimetric measurements from satellites, airplanes, or ground-based instruments. These include but are not limited to: (1) development of new instruments and concepts; (2) reports from past and future field-campaigns; (3) new retrieval techniques and algorithms, including combination of polarimetric and other types of measurements; and (4) studies of clouds, aerosols or their interactions though these new and rich polarimetric approaches.

Benefits and Challenges with Long-term Continuous Observations of the Earth

Location: 327 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Continuous monitoring of the Earth through multiple satellite lifetimes is one of the critical ways in which scientists and decision-makers can understand our environment on a global basis. To address severe events, such as tropical cyclones as well as to monitor long term changes on time scales from hours to decades, planned continuity efforts are necessary. While for some observables, including weather, total column ozone, total solar irradiance, sea level and land imaging, an effective commitment is in place for continuity, for many important observables, continuity is not secured. For many other observables, including those characterizing the global state of the Earth’s climate and those providing information on near-term environmental risks outside of weather, planning, programmatic and funding challenges will likely result in gaps. Individual studies on the need, benefits, challenges or scientific approaches to continuity in Earth observations are encouraged. Studies from the international community, as well as from early career and under-represented groups are particularly welcome.

Expanding and Enhancing Climate Services for Climate Resilience

Location: Ballroom I (The Baltimore Convention Center)

The Nation urgently needs a suite of expanded and enhanced Federal climate services to provide timely, easy-to-find, and understandable climate information and resources. A more nationally coherent approach to climate services is necessary to meet the diversity of user needs, coordinate across the Federal enterprise alongside non-Federal partners, and ensure users, including disadvantaged and underserved communities, are centered in this work. First, this session highlights the recently released Federal Framework and Action Plan for Climate Services from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. The plan clarifies the understanding of the scope of climate services across the Federal Government, provides an initial framework for coordinating Federal agencies through the U.S. Global Change Research Program, and identifies specific actions that can be taken to build a more effective system of climate services for the Nation. Second, the session will also highlight how Federal agencies are already enhancing and expanding climate services to meet the needs of communities and decision makers across the Nation, including through the National Climate Resilience Framework. Agencies will discuss how the Framework is accelerating action to ensure coordinated, effective, and efficient development and delivery of climate services. Through the vigorous and sustained implementation of these important plans, the Federal Government, along with non-Federal partners, will be well-positioned to inform and support actions that build climate resilience.

Greenhouse Gases I

Location: 321/322 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Over the last decade, significant advances have been made in both in situ and remote sensing technologies for measuring greenhouse gases (GHGs). The launch of global observing systems (such as GOSAT, GOSAT-2, OCO-2, OCO-3, TROPOMI) as well as deployment of localized surface networks and aircraft field campaigns is starting to yield more information on natural and anthropogenic sources than ever before. While these multiple observational platforms provide a significant potential for the monitoring of GHG emissions, more and more uncertainties are coming to light regarding our understanding of the global and regional budgets of GHGs, errors due to deficiency in atmospheric transport modeling, and identification and quantification of climate feedback sensitivities. This session solicits abstracts that provide new insights on understanding GHG dynamics at various spatial (local to global) and temporal (sub-diurnal to decadal) scales. We encourage contributions on: (a) current and prospective GHG observational studies that inform both the nature and impact of errors in transport due to convection and large-scale mixing, (b) modeling studies to quantify budgets and/or uncertainties in GHG flux estimates from local/urban to regional and global scales, and (c) evaluation and benchmarking of GHG estimates from Earth System Models using contemporary observations. Submissions that quantify GHG emissions at the urban scale and their uncertainties or explore policy issues related to GHG monitoring and regulation or capture how the current science is informing policy decisions and the upcoming Global Stocktake (UNFCCC) in 2023, are highly encouraged.

Probabilistic Forecasting and Uncertainty Analysis: Theory and Application I

Location: 340 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Probabilistic hydrometeorological forecasting is a comprehensive integration of physical modeling, probability and statistics, and numerical methods.

Significant challenges exist in improving probabilistic forecasts and addressing associated uncertainties in hydrometeorological applications. This session solicits papers on theoretical, experimental, and applied studies focusing on ensemble forecasting and uncertainty analysis in both offline and coupled systems. The topics include but are not limited to:

Integrated ensemble methods to improve hydrometeorological forecasting.
Statistical postprocessing techniques to generate hydrometeorological data products. Machine learning methods and applications are highly encouraged.
Advanced optimization methods to calibrate parameters.
Uncertainties in forcing data, initial conditions, parameters, and model structure and components.
Verification methods to evaluate probabilistic forecasting.

Observations and Modeling Strategies Necessary to Address Climate Uncertainty

Location: Ballroom III/ IV (The Baltimore Convention Center)

This panel will discuss the current state of global, coupled climate modeling, the next phases in identifying and reducing model uncertainty, our ability to leverage an ever-increasing flow of environmental data, and the roles of government and industry in post-processing innovation.

The success of climate model projections has been scrutinized extensively over the past decade. Even as past model ensembles begin to show signs of verification as we approach the mid-21st century, the standard of deployable information for decision-makers continually becomes more stringent. The amount of available data through climate simulations and in situ and remote observation infrastructure has exploded. This has given rise to a variety of methods, including machine and deep learning, used to ingest, digest, and investigate the implications of modeling output as it pertains to global down to regional climatic trends and extremes. Across spatial and temporal scales, the predictability of various phenomena is subject to uncertainty introduced by observation gaps and assimilation, ensemble design, model complexity, and computational limitations. Discussion will center around the following key questions:

How do we assess and reduce the uncertainty in the near-term or coming decades? Research gaps in traditional modeling? What role will machine learning and deep learning serve in model initialization, execution, and post-processing? What techniques are available concerning convergent and divergent modeling solutions?

Surface-Atmosphere Exchanges, Interactions and Feedbacks

Location: 339 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

The exchange of momentum, energy, moisture, trace gases and aerosols play a critical role in weather, climate and air quality. These processes are complex, involving ambient concentrations of the species of interest, biochemical conditions of the exchange surface, biological processes of the underlying ecosystem, boundary-layer physics and micro-meteorology, and fast chemical reactions that create discrepancies between leaf- and canopy-scale fluxes. While accurate representations of these processes are critical for atmospheric composition models, wide knowledge gaps persist, particularly as the resolved length scales of the models continues to shrink and as the climate continues to warm. In this session, measurement scientists and modelers will come together to further discuss recent studies that further our understanding of the physical, chemical and biological processes that control exchanges, interactions and feedbacks between the Earth’s surface and the atmosphere. Presentations are encouraged on new measurements or measurement methods, new modeling approaches, inter-comparison of different models or different measurement methods, long-term studies or intensive measurement campaigns, and over a variety of land surface types, including temperate, tropical or boreal forests, coastal or ocean surfaces, desert, tundra or snow-covered or icy surfaces.

A Listening Session For Social Science Data: How Federal Guidance for Open Science and Open Data is Changing the Social Science Landscape

Location: Holiday 4 (Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor)

Subseasonal-to-Seasonal (S2S) II: Predictions and Predictability

Location: Holiday 6 (Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor)

There has been significant progress in understanding and predicting the global earth system to extended ranges beyond synoptic scales. We understand the need to replicate physical phenomena related to tropical convection, MJO, monsoons, and their teleconnections with midlatitude weather and climate in the global earth system models. However, despite progress there is still a pressing need to further improve subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) predictions, and to better understand the underlying predictability and its temporal modulation. .

This second session in a three part S2S-focused series invites presentations addressing both previous and ongoing research investigating the sources of predictability, and propagation of forecast errors and systematic earth system model biases that appear early in the forecasts, with the goal of tracing these errors both to their impacts on prediction, and backward to their causes, to support implementing S2S prediction improvements with temporal ranges between 2 weeks to 2 years. Particular applications include but are not limited to S2S prediction of precipitation, extreme temperatures, severe weather outlooks, drought, atmospheric rivers and the conditions that are thought to drive these phenomena. While this session focuses on predictions and predictability, Parts 1 and 3 of this 3-part S2S-focused series highlight stakeholder needs and S2S model development, respectively.

Aerosol-Cloud Interaction in Deep Convection I

Location: 329 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Convective clouds play an essential role in regulating the global energy and water cycles, with deep convective clouds (DCC) being among the most important components of the Earth's atmospheric system. Despite their significance, the representation of DCCs and their feedback on the global circulation and cloudiness remains a major source of uncertainty in Earth system models. One of the biggest uncertainties is the impact of aerosol on DCC properties, which continues to be a topic of debate within the scientific community.

The goal of this session is to advance our understanding of the three-way aerosol-DCC-environment interactions and their impact on climate predictions. We welcome theoretical, observational, and modeling studies on various topics related to DCC-aerosol-environment interactions, including:

1. Aerosol impacts on DCC macrophysics, microphysics, kinematics, thermodynamics, radiative properties, and precipitation processes

2. Influence of environmental conditions, such as wind shear, humidity, and instability, on DCC processes and aerosol-DCC interactions

3. Climatic influence of aerosol-DCC-environment interactions and their impact on future climate predictions

4. DCC transport of aerosol particles and subsequent influence on the aerosol and cloud condensation nuclei size distributions

5. Novel measurements, including laboratory, in situ, and remote sensing techniques, as well as advanced machine learning methods and modeling techniques

Global Precipitation EXperiment (GPEX): A New WCRP Lighthouse Activity

Location: 307 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

The future of the global water cycle in general, and specifically the prediction of freshwater availability for humans around the world remain among the frontiers of climate research and are related to several UN Sustainable Development Goals. Especially the prediction of precipitation, which is the product of a complex integrated system, remain problematic. Improving precipitation predictions requires improved observations and modeling of all critical processes in the coupled earth system. The World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) will launch the Global Precipitation EXperiment (GPEX) as a new Lighthouse Activity during the WCRP Open Science Conference in October 2023, to take on the challenge of improving precipitation predictions around the world. GPEX will be a cross-WCRP initiative centralized around the WCRP Years of Precipitation (YoP) and associated activities before and after. The YoP will include coordinated global field campaigns with an emphasis on different storm types for different seasons (atmospheric rivers in winter, springtime mesoscale convective systems, summer monsoons, and tropical cyclones in the fall), gridded data evaluation and analysis, km-scale modeling, process understanding, and prediction of extreme precipitation events as well as changes in precipitation seasonality. GPEX activities will take 5-10 years to complete through three (Pre-YoP, YoP, and Post-YoP) phases. Through this Townhall, we intend to inform the community of this exciting opportunity, seek community input on the Science Plan and its Implementation, and seek potential leaders to coordinate global field campaigns on different storm types, and/or to coordinate major precipitation related datasets, and modeling and prediction experiments.

Transforming the National Space Weather Enterprise

Location: Key 11 (Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor)

Space weather is a naturally occurring phenomenon that can disrupt the technology that forms the backbone of this country’s economic vitality and national security, including the electric power grid, satellite and airline operations, communications networks, and navigation systems. With Solar Cycle 25 expected to peak in 2024-2025, strategic direction and continued coordination across the space weather enterprise is essential for preparedness and resilience.

In 2014 the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) chartered the Space Weather Operations, Research, and Mitigation (SWORM) Task Force (and subsequent Subcommittee) to coordinate the Federal government and develop a National Space Weather Strategy and Action Plan to address this risk (released in 2015 and updated in 2019).

In October 2020, Congress passed the Promoting Research and Observations of Space Weather to Improve the Forecasting of Tomorrow (PROSWIFT) Act that directed NOAA to stand up the non-governmental Space Weather Advisory Group (SWAG) to advise SWORM.

In June 2022, SWORM advised SWAG of the impending update to the National Space Weather Strategy and Action Plan and tasked SWAG to provide critical community input. In response, SWAG members developed the report – Findings and Recommendations to Successfully Implement PROSWIFT and Transform the National Space Weather Enterprise, released in April 2023. The report was informed by broad community input through the SWAG Public January 2023 hybrid meeting that featured a series of speakers, panels, and inputs from the public.

This town hall will address the SWAG report and the SWORM response to it by detailing the newly released SWORM National Space Weather Strategy and Action Plan - Implementation Plan. The Implementation Plan will provide the key elements necessary to improve our understanding, prediction capability, and preparedness efforts to enhance the Nation’s resilience against space-weather.

Development of Indices for Applied Climatology Research in Large Datasets

Location: Key 10 (Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor)

With decades of available data from observational datasets and reanalyses, indices are a useful tool to detect extreme events and characteristics of the Earth-atmosphere system in large datasets. These allow for relatively simple definitions of climate phenomena that can be used in a variety of applied sectors. Numerous indicators have been developed in the past to assist with analysis such as those used to detect or represent heat waves, extreme precipitation events, drought, sea ice extent, tropical cyclones, sea level, air quality, and more. However, the development of climate and extremes indices is not always straight forward as some include a baseline climatology or are percentile or return period based, while others are derived through artificial intelligence or data mining techniques. As the community strives towards an open science framework, tools are becoming more available and widespread for the calculation, detection, and visualization of indices that can be used for applied climatology research. A proper understanding of the indices themselves is essential as applied science results are often used for decision making, practical purposes, public health assessments, or are included in overarching reports such as the National Climate Assessment. Completing the research cycle are studies that make use of weather and climate indicators and tie these with other aspects of the atmosphere, ocean, land, and the world around us. This session welcomes studies focused on the development, analysis, and application of indices, spanning all aspects of the Earth system, created using large datasets.

Data streams from magnetometers, imagers, interferometers, and others have been identified by the PROSWIFT Act as critical national needs. Local measurements, such as GIC data, can provide situational awareness, validation metrics, and input to models. Consistent availability of quality data requires the long-term maintenance of these sensor arrays, but the path forward to support ground-based infrastructure over time is certainly not a simple problem. This session solicits presentations that discuss (1) products, alerts, and forecasts that rely on ground-based data, (2) the current state and utility of existing ground-based sensor networks, (3) data quality and processing algorithms, and (4) potential solutions for maintaining these crucial sources of data.

Challenges and Progress in Understanding, Simulating and Forecasting Fog

Location: 328 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

The prediction of the timing of the onset, progression and dispersal of fog has been a long-standing challenge in the numerical weather prediction community, despite its immediate societal impacts through visibility conditions and broad impacts on aviation, coastal ecology, agriculture, energy and public health. The simulation of fog by current numerical weather prediction models suffers from significant biases not only in its broad lifecycle features but also its microphysical characteristics (like cloud droplet number concentration, liquid water content) that directly impact visibility metrics. These deficiencies are associated with complex interactions of myriad physical processes involved in fog formation and evolution by different pathways like stratus lowering and radiation fog in different types of marine, coastal and continental fog. The involved processes include aerosol emissions, aerosol and cloud microphysics, radiation processes, boundary layer mixing processes, large scale dynamical environmental forcings, varied topography and land-atmosphere interactions. Recent works suggest that improvements in the model representation of these processes enhance different attributes of fog simulation and prediction. Further, the impact of climate change in driving long term trends in fog formation and its lifecycle over different regions remains an open research question.

We invite submissions relevant to all these broad-ranging aspects of fog simulation including intensive observational studies, field experiments, and satellite and lidar detection methods. We also welcome discussion of varied numerical formulations and parameterization schemes of processes involved, new mathematical or computational techniques such as machine learning, multi-scale numerical model simulations (DNS to mesoscale to high resolution global models) that exploit modern hybrid computer architecture, model validation metrics and societal impacts. Recent field experiments relating to fog such as C-FOG, FATIMA, SOFOG and WIFEX have emphasised the importance of aerosols in influencing fog thickness and development. The effects of aerosol absorption and radiative cooling on fog are attracting particular interest. We welcome presentations that address these issues. We hope to assemble the current state of understanding on fog simulation and prediction. Our goal is to help identify and scope out future research directions to attain more accurate fog predictions across different regions of the globe.

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) usage in weather, water, and climate applications increases, the quality and provenance of data used for model training and application are also evolving to become increasingly important. We explored tough questions with a panel session at the 2023 AMS Washington Forum, such as: What ground truth is used in model training? Are the limitations of ground truth data considered? The Annual Meeting provides an opportunity to continue and add further definition and guidance to the conversation. Specific items to be considered include, but are not limited to: 1) What kinds of filtering, processing, or transformations are applied to the data between original observations or model runs and ingest/usage by the AI/ML user, and where these changes are best applied; 2) Measures of quality and context surrounding a given data set, including whether the associated metadata are sufficiently complete to understand these aspects; 3) Measures of the appropriateness for a given type of data to solve a given type of problem. This session will explore how we ensure traceability and selection of the best data possible for a given AI/ML application to maximize accuracy and effectiveness to the respective end users.

Panel Discussion: Next Generation Ground System Architecture for Weather Satellites

Location: Ballroom I (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Invited panelists to discuss next generation ground systems with emphasis on cost-efficient, sustainable, enterprise architecture based on innovations and disruptive technological changes. This Panel will first examine the current state of operational ground systems in support of weather satellites, including NOAA, Space Force, NASA, international and commercial systems. The panel will discuss performance limitations and bottlenecks the current ground segment faces, especially with new satellite systems and ever-expanding data streams from Earth Observing satellites. The Panel will then discuss innovations and disruptive technological changes that have emerged in recent years that would transform Ground Systems into a more efficient, resilient, cost effective, architecture of the future. The Panel will identify how these changes will impact the future operational aspects of the ground segment. This includes the emergence of new business models, promoting smaller space acquisition systems, the realization of cheaper and stronger, on orbit and on the ground, processing resources and the enablement of new applications. The Panelists will also argue the case for and against the role of the commercial sector in supporting the Government’s needs of ground operations. The Panel will present lessons learned from the US and possibly from Europe, Asia, and the Southern Hemisphere that would provide insight on the economical sustainability of ground operations of the future. The Panelists will then set the stage for a continued future discussion revisiting the status of innovations and disruptive technological changes the ground segment continues to experience in the near future with special emphasis on weather and environmental monitoring.

Urban Hydrology, Flood Hazards and Risks

Location: 318/319 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Urban floods are flashy and can cause widespread damage due to the high concentration of population and development. Among mitigation strategies commonly used urban environments are: regulatory floodplain mapping, flood warning monitoring and notifications systems, and structural controls through capital improvement projects (CIP). Advanced storm forecasting, early flood detection, and timely communication of flood threat prior and during storm events are example ways in which a flood warning system can help reduce flood risk in urban communities. This topical session encourages cross-disciplinary collaboration between atmospheric scientists and urban hydrologists to discuss their experiences in the following areas:

Flood and rain forecasting in urban watersheds
Flood detection and measurement techniques
Design storms due to changing rainfall intensities
Vulnerability assessment of drainage assets
Real-time emergency notification and response
Regional approaches to flood monitoring and forecasting
Coastal flooding of urban areas
Lessons learned from past flooding

A Panel Discussion on Earth Intelligence - Entering the Third Decade of the International Group on Earth Observations (GEO)

Location: 307 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Over the past twenty years, the international Earth observation community - across governments, industries and NGOs, have sought to advance the use of space-, air- and ground-based observations for sound decision making in a changing world. The international Group on Earth Observations (GEO), in collaboration with national efforts such as the U.S. Group on Earth Observations (USGEO), have made progress in coordinating and advancing Earth observation efforts on the U.S. and international levels.

In addition, a number of parallel efforts have been developed by GEO partners, including the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) with its Early Warnings for All (EWA) initiative, within the UN Global Early Warning Initiative for the Implementation of Climate Adaptation .

As GEO enters its third decade, ministers from GEO member countries agreed to a Post-2025 Strategy titled "Earth Intelligence for All" at its Ministerial Summit in November 2023 in Cape Town. Core to the strategy are two fundamental commitments:

First is to pursue global equity in Earth observation, making resources and opportunities available that lead to best outcomes in communities with varying needs and capacity.
Second is a commitment to provide not only Earth observations but also Earth intelligence, which means that GEO will continue to facilitate the supply of Earth observation data, but at the same time providing users with insights for better decision-making.

This panel discussion will begin with opening remarks from the U.S. Representative to the Group on Earth Observations Executive Committee, Dr. Stephen Volz, followed by remarks from Dr. Arlene Laing, Coordinating Director of the Caribbean Meteorological Organization. The session will conclude with a panel discussion with international, public and private sector representatives to further discuss the two Post-2025 commitments and the WMO's EWA initiative and their relevance and impact on the weather, water and climate enterprise.

Weather and climate influence nearly every aspect of our world. From ecosystems to human health, air quality, oceanography, energy usage, water resources, agriculture, transportation, climate change, and more, the atmosphere plays a leading role in shaping our natural and built environments. Applied climatology aims to identify and explain these relationships between the atmosphere and other human or environmental ‘outcomes’ of interest at a variety of spatial and temporal scales. This session welcomes research from the broad spectrum of applied studies in meteorology and climatology, including theoretical, modeling, and forecasting-based research. In particular, we encourage contributions that explore the interactions between synoptic-scale weather/climate processes and the various human and environmental phenomena affected by them, including the development and application of climate classifications.

Coastal Coupled Modeling for Compound Flooding II

Location: 343 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Coastal flood hazards have significant impacts on coastal communities, including harms to commerce, public infrastructure, private citizens, and human health. Coastal flooding is known to be caused by a number of factors, including wind set-up and storm surges, high tides or high lake levels, large waves, sea level rise, and significant hydrologic inflows from streams and rivers. It is known that an integrated, coupled modeling approach is needed for the community to progress to the next generation of total water prediction and forecasting. This session will highlight the advancements in modeling and supporting technologies to meet this challenge.

Space Weather Advisory Group User Needs Survey: Preliminary Results

Location: Key 11 (Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor)

In the fall of 2020, Congress unanimously passed, both in the House and the Senate, the Promoting Research and Observations of Space Weather to Improve the Forecasting of Tomorrow (PROSWIFT) Act, signed into Public Law: 116-181 in October 2020.

In accordance with section 60601 of the PROSWIFT Act, NOAA established the first ever Federal Advisory Group to advise the Office of Science and Technology Policy Space Weather Operations Research and Mitigation (SWORM) Subcommittee.

The PROSWIFT Act directs SWAG members to receive advice from the academic community, the commercial space weather sector, and space weather end users that will inform the interests and work of the SWORM.

The PROSWIFT Act states the first order of business for the SWAG is to conduct the mandated comprehensive survey of the needs of users of space weather products to identify the space weather research, observations, forecasting, prediction, and modeling advances required to improve space weather products. The survey shall:

Assess the adequacy of Federal Government goals for lead time, accuracy, coverage, timeliness, data rate, and data quality for space weather observations and forecasting;
Identify options and methods, in consultation with the academic and commercial space weather sectors, to advance the above goals;
Identify opportunities for collection of data to address needs of space weather users;
Identify methods to increase coordination of space weather R2O2R;
Identify opportunities for new technologies, research, and instrumentation to aid in understanding, monitoring, modeling, prediction, and warning of space weather; and
Identify methods and technologies to improve preparedness for space weather.

In this session, an overview of the SWAG and preliminary results of the user survey conducted throughout 2023 will be given by the SWAG chair and appropriate SWAG sector leads. A discussion will follow, and the community will have the opportunity to provide input.

Pure AI and Data-Driven Weather Forecasts II: Highlights on AI Forecast Performance and Evaluation

Location: 345/346 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Recent advances in AI modeling techniques - particularly deep neural network architectures and infrastructure suitable for training on massive-scale datasets – have brought a renewed interest in developing “pure” AI-driven weather forecasts. Such a forecast would involve assembling some initial representation of the state of the atmosphere, feeding it into an AI model, and producing a rich set of dense, spatiotemporal output fields similar to the output of a numerical weather prediction (NWP) system; some researchers refer to such models as “AI NWP” (e.g. [1]). Unlike traditional NWP, pure AI forecasts are optimized end-to-end for forecast accuracy based on historical data. A proliferation of such models has been published in the early 2020’s, many of which perform favorably using typical large-scale forecast quality metrics relative to state of the art numerical forecasts for precipitation nowcasting [2] and medium-range [3, 4, 5, 6] prediction.

The rapid pace of development of these models, backed by non-traditional players in the weather enterprise (specifically “big tech” companies which may not have developed proprietary weather forecasts or data products in the past but have significant experience with very large data and AI applications) suggests that a new frontier in weather prediction is rapidly opening up. In this session, we invite perspectives, commentaries, and demonstrations of new models from this new frontier, and encourage thoughts on questions including the following:

What are the remaining barriers towards developing – and operationalizing – “pure” AI or “AI NWP” forecast systems?
Given the rapidly changing frontier of AI research and development, are there novel model architectures or problem formulations that we may see emerge as a new paradigm for developing pure AI forecast systems?
How will AI NWP products co-exist with the extant and continually evolving catalog of operational NWP systems?
Pure AI systems at different levels of completeness and maturity have been developed for precipitation nowcasting, medium-range weather and even S2S forecasts. Which weather forecasting timescales and applications will be hardest for pure AI approaches?
Are traditional skill metrics still adequate for evaluating “non-physical” AI NWP forecasts? If not, how should these forecasts instead be evaluated?

We especially welcome perspectives on how the broader AI and NWP communities might come together to further accelerate this weather forecasting revolution. Prospective authors may consider submitting abstracts that provide a performance assessment of predictions from their data-driven ML models which include comparisons to benchmark predictions from single deterministic NWP models, and/or an ensemble of NWP models. This session will encourage research into the use of purely data-driven ML models to generate predictions with skill comparable to that from state-of-the-art NWP models used by operational meteorologists worldwide.

What's the Forecast for RF Spectrum? Exploring the Way Forward on Spectrum for the Weather-Water-Climate Enterprise in 2024

Location: 307 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Radio frequency spectrum is crucial to the operation of critical technologies to weather forecasting and other Earth predictive capabilities. More demand for spectrum and greater interference in critical bands requires the weather enterprise to monitor its current and future needs for spectrum. This requires monitoring both international and domestic regulatory proceedings and being prepared to take action by effectively communicating the value of weather predictions and submitting regulatory comments.

Over four weeks at the end of 2023, the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) convened the World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-23) in Dubai to review and revise the international treaty governing the use of radio-frequency spectrum across the globe. Weather enterprise representatives were present at those sessions as there were important discussions that could impact space weather prediction. There were also important dialogues on planning for future agenda items at the next WRC in 2027 related to spectrum near 52 GHz, which are crucial bands for satellite meteorology and numerical weather prediction.

The panelists in this session from NOAA, the WMO and other agencies will speak to the developments on spectrum related to space weather and microwave sensor measurements that are critical to numerical weather prediction. There will be ample opportunities for questions and audience participation in this annual dialogue on spectrum at the AMS Annual Meeting.

Exploiting Operational Satellites for Climate Data Record Generation and Analysis II

Location: 327 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Satellite-based climate studies necessarily require multi-decadal time series merging the observational records of multiple like instruments. The unparalleled capabilities of NASA’s Earth Observing System (EOS) fleet, including multispectral imagery, infrared and microwave sounding, and broadband fluxes, have enabled advanced geophysical retrieval datasets that now constitute key climate data records (CDRs) spanning multiple decades. The EOS fleet, however, is nearing mission end-of-life. The new generation of operational weather satellites, including the U.S.’s joint NASA/NOAA Suomi NPP and NOAA JPSS series (NOAA-20/21), provide a logical pathway for extending many of the climate data records begun by EOS, and the advanced geostationary imagers (e.g., GOES-16/17/18) enable extension of imager data records into the diurnal time domain. Indeed, many CDRs already blend observations from NASA EOS and NOAA operational satellites to extend duration and temporal sampling. Moreover, parallel efforts towards continuity climate products are under development that exploit a host of international operational satellite assets. This topic seeks submissions from the instrument and algorithm teams focused on generating continuity climate data records across multiple platforms and the scientific community using those products for climate (and related) studies.

Representatives from each of the Day’s Panels and AMS leadership (including past, present, and incoming Presidents) will have an opportunity to highlight their initial thoughts on opportunities for an expanded partnership with AMS and its public-private partners and Members. In addition, advancing knowledge and services related to changing weather, water and climate, this Session can also explore opportunities related to environmental justice, inclusion and diversity, and strengthening respect for special/sacred spaces and natural resources. Following any questions for the Panel, all Symposium participants will be invited to offer their ideas for the future in a facilitated brainstorming session. The ideas shared will be recorded, captured, and compiled. In addition to providing a record of the Symposium, the findings and recommendations of the day will be used to help guide the continuation of convergence science Symposium at the AMS 105th Annual Meeting.

Since this will be the final session of the Symposium (and the 104th Annual Meeting), participants will be invited to remain together to discuss next steps and emerging partnerships in a more informal, relaxed environment. Symposium organizers will be exploring a small reception or other opportunity to build new friendships and explore ideas as the day flows into evening.

Analysis and Modeling of Coastal Urban Environments

Location: 343 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Approximately 40% of the world's population resides within 100 km of the coastline, and coastal infrastructure handles up to 90% of international trade. The current record indicates a noticeable rise in coastal sea surface temperatures, which can potentially exacerbate coastal extreme events Coastal-urban areas are confronted with a multitude of challenges, including sea-level rise, alterations in river discharge patterns and flood recurrence intervals, shifts in the frequency, intensity, and duration of extreme events, coastal erosion, and the persistent expansion of urbanization itself. The interconnected nature of these challenges further complicates the planning of coastal-urban infrastructure and adaptation strategies. Urgent advancements are needed in comprehending those processes and their interactions to enhance forecasting techniques and Earth system models (ESMs). This will enable more precise modeling of specific events that have an impact on coastal and urban systems, ultimately supporting the resilience of energy and infrastructure. In this session, we invite submissions that investigate the processes associated with coastal urban thermodynamic and aerodynamic effects, urban aerosols, and their interactions with natural processes such as sea breezes.

Applied Climate Science Research in Synoptic-Scale Environments II

Atmospheric Science Education Research I

Location: 308 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

The goal of Atmospheric Science Education Research (ASER) is to improve teaching and learning in atmospheric science through the development of evidence-based knowledge and practices. This includes both Discipline Based Education Research (DBER) as well as the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). DBER “investigates learning and teaching in a discipline using a range of methods with deep grounding in the discipline’s priorities, worldview, knowledge, and practices.” (National Research Council [NRC], 2012, p. 9), while SoTL aims to “Improve one’s own teaching practice through innovations in pedagogy and curriculum” (NAGT 2020). It has been shown that many in the atmospheric science community highly value education research (Kopacz et al. 2021), but the atmospheric science community has yet to broadly encourage this type of scholarship (Charlevoix 2008, NRC 2012). Effective education is important for our future workforce and for ensuring a scientifically literate populace as citizens need to be able to make informed decisions regarding environmental security issues (e.g., energy, health, food, and water) that will affect the quality of their lives and those of their children (e.g., United States Global Change Research Program [USGCRP], 2009). This session will feature reflections on and evaluations of teaching strategies or activities (SoTL) to theory-driven research on teaching and learning in the atmospheric sciences (ASER).

Calibration/Validation for Environmental Remote Sensing, Numerical Weather Prediction, and Climate Change Detection I

Location: 323 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Calibration/Validation and Verification are essential parts of data quality assurance and is critically important for operational radiance assimilation in numerical weather prediction (NWP), climate change detection, generation of all environmental data records, and retrieval continuity across multiple overlapping sensor records, including atmospheric soundings, aerosols, fire, trace gas, cloud, sea surface temperature, ocean color, land, vegetation, and cryosphere. For example, understanding the error characteristics of satellite observations and reconciling the biases are important for data assimilation in NWP models; interpreting the small changes in the time series of temperature, trace gas, aerosols, ocean color, and other products depends on the stability of the underlining reprocessed fundamental data records; analysis of the trend of global climate change highly relies on the assumption that the data used are extremely stable and accurate. As more small satellites are launched into space with new technologies in passive and active sensors providing an unprecedented, large volume of data and covering almost the entire electromagnetic spectrum, data consistency, latency, usability, and sustainability may become challenges for operational forecasters, who need to become prepared to expand the algorithms and skills to take full advantages of the new observations. This session will highlight ongoing calibration and validation research that will aid the operational use of the data to explore opportunities and meet challenges of the evolving multitude of Earth and atmospheric observations from satellites, in-situ, and other platforms in the coming years to benefit the society.

Advancing Hazards Forecasting and Decision Support through NOAA Testbeds and Proving Grounds I

Location: 327 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

The NOAA Testbeds and Proving Grounds (TBPGs) are cross-NOAA networks that are crucial for transitioning research on hazards forecasting and risk communication into operations at NOAA. TBPGs are working relationships for developmental testing, in a quasi-operational framework among researchers and operational scientists /experts (measurement specialists, forecasters, IT specialists, social scientists, etc.) including partners in academia, the private sector and government agencies, aimed at solving operational problems or enhancing operations, all in the context of user needs. TBPGs have four major roles. First, they are devoted to testing, evaluating, and refining the emerging probabilistic innovations that are at the forefront of forecasting a continuum of environmental threats. Second, they design and develop products to communicate risk in order to advance actionable outlooks, watches, and warnings. This includes translating hazards into impacts, optimizing watches/warnings, and facilitating social science studies to understand how these products are interpreted. Third, they put innovations in front of NOAA forecasters and users, including emergency managers and broadcast meteorologists, to introduce them to new products and get feedback on their development. Finally, they provide feedback from operations and testing into research and research priorities. Testing and evaluation are iterative, with innovations often going through several rounds of testing and refinement in experiments.

This session will include presentations from facilitators, researchers, and developers in TBPG activities across a range of hazards, and across the four types of testbed roles, including the testing and evaluation of advanced modeling, data assimilation, science and product development to advance forecasting and communication of those hazards. These hazards include, but are not limited to, aviation, fire and space weather, heavy precipitation, heat, winter storms, severe storms and tornadoes, hurricanes, hazards in the Arctic and Alaska, and coastal and ocean hazards.

Ultimately these innovations in weather, water, and climate applications are available for use by decision makers and other end users and the public for societal benefits. This session will illustrate the roles and efforts of TBPGs to conduct testing and evaluation to enable and accelerate the transition of innovations to NOAA operations, including products and services on environmental hazards at the National Weather Service, National Ocean Service, and the National Environmental Satellite and Data Information Service.

AI for Statistical Parameterization of Unresolved Processes in Earth System Models I

Location: 345/346 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Earth Systems Models (ESMs) are the primary tool used by scientists to understand earth system dynamics and variability and make future climate projections. The accuracy of ESMs has increased significantly in recent years due to advances in numerical modeling and computational tools, allowing them to be run with more precision at increasingly higher resolutions on high performance computers (HPC). Earth system processes are primarily described by non-linear differential equations that interact with other complex and non-linear components on differing spatial and temporal, resolved and unresolved scales. The increase in the degrees of freedom with resolution implies that solving these multi-scale equations for high resolution models becomes computationally prohibitive, even on leadership-class HPC. Moreover, the unresolved processes also account for a large source of uncertainty in ESMs, as they are approximated from the resolved scales through parameterization schemes.

Recently, researchers have been exploring the use of AI to aid parametrizations of a wide range of sub-grid scale processes including but not limited to radiation, convective processes, aerosol and cloud microphysics, atmospheric chemistry, ocean physics, and land processes. ML can be used to create new parametrizations, or improve current ones, by training a statistical model to effectively emulate a complex physical phenomenon. ML techniques are capable of learning and accurately simulating nonlinear functions when trained on large datasets. Once trained, these models can provide fast calculation of sub-grid scale processes, particularly on hybrid architectures. Current ML tools used for parametrization tasks include neural networks (NN), deep learning, random forests (RF), and general adversarial networks (GAN). Several studies have also shown the usefulness of hybrid approaches called physics informed ML, also known as knowledge guided ML, for incorporating domain knowledge and physical principles into the ML techniques mentioned above. The main challenges of utilizing these ML approaches include the limited explainability and uncertainty quantification of the resulting models. Alleviating these limitations would boost our confidence in the applicability of the ML models to future projections.

We aim to explore different ways ML techniques can assist in defining and representing parametrization processes across earth system modeling. Submissions related to the use of ML techniques for ESM parametrization including emulation, replacement and acceleration of current parameterization schemes are sought to further our understanding of advanced ways to address model run-time expense, accuracy, sensitivity and uncertainty.

Democratizing Data: Environmental Data Access and Its Future

Location: 337 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

One of the tenets of big data is the idea of the (2,4, 7) V’s - Volume, Velocity, Variety, Variability, Veracity, Visualization, and Value. With the increase in the volume and velocity of data, access becomes ever more challenging. Users have access to more types of data and they can become overwhelmed by the possibilities. In the past, data access has been confusing but now there is more user engagement in building friendlier and more usable interfaces. Discovery is now more flexible and all encompassing - for example using schema.org to enable data discovery and via Google search. This increased use of data is not limited to scientists and other professionals. Citizens use data more than they realize (maps, elevation charts, tides, etc.) so they are constantly accessing data from a variety of sources.

There remains a broader community goal to have improved data access with the aim of democratizing data by removing gatekeepers so that data are unrestricted and available in a meaningful way to all. Improved access to data also supports data equity - “The term “data equity” captures a complex and multi-faceted set of ideas. It refers to the consideration, through an equity lens, of the ways in which data is collected, analyzed, interpreted, and distributed.” By making data more easily accessed and used we also make the ability to use data more equitable. We want to gather a set of papers that bring together all aspects of the data access process with a focus on improving data access for a wide range of users. We propose the following structure:

data discoverability
data access
data and service equity
data usability
user interface/engagement/input
visualization tools
reproducibility and tracing - after access

Land-Atmosphere and Land-Ocean Interactions I

Location: 340 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Land-atmosphere and land-ocean interactions play a key role in climate variability and change, as well as in climate/weather predictability across space and time. The land’s role in the Earth system – its impact on atmospheric and ocean climatology and variability across a broad range of timescales, ranging from hours to centuries, for past, present, and future climates – has been the subject of much recent exploratory research, and is essential for addressing the challenges of living in a changing environment. The meteorological, hydrological, biophysical, biogeochemical, and ecosystem processes, as well as the boundary-layer processes, that underlie the connections between surface and atmosphere are not yet fully understood. The scarcity of relevant observations, the complexity of the underlying processes and feedbacks, and the wide range of scales involved necessitate coordinated and increasingly interdisciplinary investigations. This session focuses on (1) understanding, analysis, prediction, and attribution of extreme hydroclimate events in the context of land-atmosphere and land-ocean interactions from meso-to-circumglobal and subseasonal to decadal scales; (2) the dynamic, physical, and biogeochemical mechanisms by which land processes (including those associated with large scale agriculture and land-use change) influence the Earth system on subseasonal to decadal time scales; (3) predictability associated with land initialization (i.e., soil moisture, soil temperature, vegetation, snow, and aerosol in snow, etc.) and land–atmosphere/ocean interactions from subseasonal to decadal time scales; and (4) application and analyses of large scale field campaign data, national and international observational networks (e.g., FLUXNET), satellite remote sensing (e.g., SMAP, OCO-2), and reanalysis for land model development and land-atmosphere and land-ocean interaction studies. This session will contribute to advance the land component in the earth system modeling and understanding its critical scientific role. We welcome papers addressing any of these topics.

As forecasts continue to improve and their use-inspired applications continue to expand, the urgency for an inclusive, equitable, resilient workforce in the weather, water, and climate enterprise grows. The changing landscape of career opportunities available for atmospheric and climate scientists after graduation must be addressed by broadening access to workforce-relevant training and adapting current educational experiences and training to better prepare students for the wide variety of future jobs. Navigating the changing workforce needs requires a collective effort with strategic intentionality for engaging underserved communities, creating educational experiences that are equitably available to the full spectrum of the future workforce, and to elevate and empower leaders who champion inclusive excellence, equity, and resiliency in the weather, water, and climate enterprise.

This session brings together leaders in the weather, water, and climate enterprise for a meaningful fireside-style discussion about navigating the changing world and to address the who and how of (a) recognizing and defining the changing workforce needs, (b) broadening access and dismantling barriers in education and training the future workforce, (c) creating and advancing novel education and training strategies, and (d) developing and sustaining the onramps to emerging careers.

Advancing and Innovating Equitable Climate Solutions: Baltimore’s Social–Environmental Collaborative

Location: Ballroom II (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Addressing the myriad problems posed by climate change requires participation from a diverse slate of actors centering their research questions, approach, and solutions around the communities most burdened by climate change. Yet, investigator-initiated research historically has overlooked this type of stakeholder- and community-driven involvement. The Department of Energy’s Urban Integrated Field Laboratories (IFL) aim to fill this gap and provide knowledge that informs equitable solutions that can strengthen community-scale resilience, and in this presidential session the Baltimore Social-Environmental Collaborative IFL will be highlighted as an example of this research paradigm.
The town and gown approach of the Baltimore Social-Environmental Collaborative IFL leverages the leadership and the lived experience from universities in and around Baltimore, city agencies, and local communities. Agency perspectives provided by the panel will describe how the IFL program will inform climate action, develop a toolkit of solutions, and serve as a magnet for involvement from other government agencies. Local perspectives featured on this panel will discuss work already underway to develop climate mitigation and resiliency efforts in Baltimore, how the IFL program accelerates community goals, and how to build grassroots capacity and power in the face of historical axes of marginalization. The roundtable portion of this presidential session will encourage audience engagement and feedback on the current state and future of the IFL program and Baltimore’s Social-Environmental Collaborative.

Ocean Enterprise and Weather Enterprise Collaboration Toward Improving Forecast Skill

Location: Holiday 4 (Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor)

The United States experiences some of the most extreme weather events of any nation. Faced with significant changes in climate that are driving the severity, frequency, and location of disruptive weather events, the demand for timely, reliable, and accurate weather forecasts and climate projections is increasing. The Ocean Enterprise, includes the public, private, non-profit, research and academic sectors that provide infrastructure and capacity for ocean observation, measurement and forecasting, or who deliver operational ocean information products and services. Given the crucial role that the ocean plays in determining weather and climate, how can the Ocean Enterprise best work with its counterpart, the Weather Enterprise, to help deliver improved forecast skill and better climate projections? This Town Hall will focus on discussing opportunities to expand and improve NOAA’s integration of ocean and coastal observing programs into forecasting systems. The town hall will also explore ways to further evolve connections between the Ocean and Weather Enterprises in the delivery of improved weather forecasts and climate projections in support of coastal resilience and the Blue Economy.

Translating Climate Science into National Security Missions: Opportunities, Progress, and Research Challenges in Enhancing Climate Security

Location: 315 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

The US Government (USG) is hard at work identifying the range of climate security risks and opportunities so that US policymakers can best take action to protect our national security in a changing world. Congressionally mandated activities, such as the Climate Security Advisory Council—which brings together the US Intelligence Community and US Federal Science Agencies—and the National Academies Climate Security Roundtable—which leverages non-government experts—continue to explore both the physical and transition security risks of climate change. To help advance the work of policymakers and position the US at the forefront of knowledge, foundational research at the intersection of climate science and security analysis is needed, e.g., how climate risks influence environmental, infrastructure, and human impacts around the world. The complex and multi-dimensional nature of this challenge requires greater cross-disciplinary work that leverages the unique expertise from different research fields and embraces the systems-level approach required to respond to climate security risks. This agency update will provide an overview of observational, modeling, and analytic capabilities that are needed by the USG to support climate security analyses, how to combine output from these models with use cases and historical data and experience.

Leveraging Mesonet Services for Stakeholder Engagement I

Location: Key 10 (Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor)

Mesonets provide invaluable services to a wide range of state, regional, and federal organizations. These services include real-time weather observations, historical trend analyses, data interpretations, and value-added products. Value-added products leverage and summarize mesonet data in engaging and accessible formats, including decision-support tools, newsletters, and social media posts, to name a few. This session aims to highlight how mesonets leverage their data-driven services to communicate weather and climate information while also engaging with and supporting the needs of regional stakeholders. We encourage submissions discussing: “end-to-end” processes for creating products, the purpose and need for creating these products, various avenues taken to communicate with and engage stakeholders, and best practices/lessons learned for effective communication and engagement. Additional topics of interest may include the generation of weather event products for targeted audiences (such as real time tracking of a total solar eclipse or total precipitation from tropical systems), educational outreach, and how these weather event products connect larger groups with their mesonet.

Machine Learning Techniques, Datasets, Needs and Priorities for Space Weather

Location: Key 11 (Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor)

Advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques present an opportunity to establish and develop a new paradigm for science and operations in the space weather community. Bridging the gap between the space science and the AI/ML community is crucial to working with the enormous datasets collected by space missions. Large, and freely available datasets of in-situ and remote observations collected over several decades of space missions allow for space weather to be an ideal application for contemporary AI/ML methods. We envision an all-encompassing session with presentations, including but not limited to, discussing the advances in space weather utilizing the nontraditional AI/ML approaches that consider the nonlinear and complex dynamics of space weather to improve classification, identification, and modeling and forecasting with uncertainty quantification and propagation. Studies that discuss evaluation metrics, uncertainty quantification, comparison of methods, reproducibility of results, and the use of novel techniques in the context of predictive space weather applications are encouraged. Finally, the application of machine learning for uncovering new scientific knowledge is also strongly encouraged.

Next-Generation Observations of Atmospheric Winds

Location: Key 9 (Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor)

The need for very accurate wind observations has long been a high priority in the science community, as they have been shown to lead to increased skill in retrieving and assimilating, e.g., atmospheric motion vector (AMV) winds from space-based passive sounding and imaging instruments. However, in the current Earth observing architecture there remains a gap in direct wind observations, e.g., in the upper troposphere/lower stratosphere. To help fill this gap and address the need for highly accurate winds, ongoing international efforts are assessing the value and potential of observed winds using innovative technology, such as active wind lidar (like Aeolus) and machine learning, and include data assimilation, impact assessments, and direct wind measurement comparisons with other wind observations, including radiosondes, airborne and ground-based Doppler lidars, and those derived from satellite imagery (AMVs).

In August 2018 the European Space Agency (ESA) launched the first space-based Doppler wind lidar (DWL) onboard Aeolus in order to acquire 3D profiles of wind on a global scale. Since then, the mission has consistently provided global wind profiles and corresponding aerosol data products for research endeavors and operations. Several weather forecast centers including the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), Deutscher Wetterdienst, Météo-France, and the U.K. MetOffice, are operationally assimilating Aeolus wind observations and demonstrating their positive impact on forecast skill.

This session seeks presentations on the following: (a) activities including field campaigns involving ESA’s Aeolus wind observations, or those observed using other innovative technology; (b) impact assessment of assimilated wind observations; (c) studies using machine learning to improve wind forecasts; (d) methods to combine active and passive observations of 3D winds to increase the positive impact of both on forecast skill; (e) OSSE study results related to active and passive atmospheric wind observations; and (e) objectives and roadmaps for future Aeolus and other wind-related missions.

El Niño Southern Oscillation: Dynamics, Predictions and Projections I

Location: 350 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the dominant mode of variability in the tropical Pacific at interannual timescales. Given its large-scale influence and global impacts, understanding, predicting and projecting ENSO and potential changes in ENSO is of great societal relevance. ENSO events are the result of complex ocean-atmosphere feedbacks, mediated by influences from the extra-tropical Pacific as well as Atlantic and Indian Oceans which may be stochastic in nature. As a result, ENSO events are very diverse in their initiation, development, demise, and spatial patterns, posing great challenges to our ability to predict them. Climate change is also expected to alter ENSO characteristics and the associated local and remote impacts. This session invites contributions that explore all aspects of ENSO, including its dynamics, diversity, predictability and prediction, teleconnections, impacts, and future projections from observational, theoretical and modeling perspectives. Contributions that examine the role of inter-basin interactions on ENSO development and diversity are also welcome.

Formation and Impacts of Atmospheric Aerosols and Cloud Condensation Nuclei: Experiment, Observation, and Modeling

Location: 329 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

The poorly understood interactions between atmospheric aerosols and clouds are a major source of uncertainty in the Earth's radiative budget, resulting in a wide range of predicted climate sensitivities. Therefore, any attempt to forecast long-term climate change must begin with an accurate representation of aerosols and clouds.

In this session, we welcome presentations covering all aspects of laboratory experiments, field observations, and modeling research on the chemical and physical mechanisms that drive the formation of atmospheric aerosols and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, (1) molecular-level understanding of aerosol formation and growth to CCN sizes; (2) ground-based, airborne, and remote measurements of CCN; (3) regional and global modeling of CCN distribution and climate impact; (4) the contribution of acid-base and organic compounds to cloud formation; (5) the effect of aerosol morphology and phase state on cloud properties; and (6) the role of cloud processing (e.g. cloud chemistry, wet scavenging, and detrainment) in aerosol and cloud formation.

From Stormy Weather to Sunny Solutions: Using Social Science Research to Improve NOAA’s Products and Services I

Location: Holiday 4 (Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor)

NOAA continues to make tremendous strides integrating social, behavioral, and economic sciences (SBES) research into operations, moving us toward a weather-ready nation. The SBES programs in OAR’s Weather Program Office and the NWS’ Office of Science and Technology Integration work together to advance SBES research and to transition findings to support products and services. Although NOAA has made significant advances in the application of social science across its mission areas, challenges persist with providing equitable services, understanding and addressing diverse user needs, and assessing and measuring research to operations outcomes. To address these challenges, NOAA needs to facilitate a weather enterprise approach that includes our partners in academia, private industries, as well as faith and community based organizations. This panel session will research that can help to improve NOAA's services and products.

Interagency Coordination within the Federal Weather Enterprise

Cloud and Precipitation Responses to Aerosol Pollution, Weather Modification, and Climate Intervention III: Cirrus and Deep Convective Clouds

Location: 314 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Aerosol-cloud interactions make a large but also very uncertain contribution to present-day global climate forcing; they are leveraged locally to induce or suppress precipitation (“cloud seeding”); and they are being considered as a possible mechanism for slowing climate warming through two climate intervention approaches (brightening low-lying marine clouds or thinning high-altitude cirrus clouds). While these categories of aerosol-cloud interactions have differences in being unintentional (the first) or intentional (the latter two), and with very different end-goals, all three share common physics and sources of uncertainty. Further, while cloud seeding is a technology historically used to enhance precipitation over local watersheds, some regions are now deploying larger-scale cloud seeding efforts to have more regional impacts on water resources, bringing the scale at which it would operate closer to that from inadvertent aerosol-cloud interactions or for climate intervention. All three have in common the need to better understand cloud responses to aerosol perturbations across a range of scales, how these responses depend on the background aerosol and meteorological conditions, and on feedbacks from the cloud responses back to the aerosol itself.

This session invites presentations on these processes, spanning climate forcing, regional precipitation enhancement, and regional-to-global climate intervention, using numerical modeling studies, analyses of observations of deliberate cloud seeding (e.g., SNOWIE), and studies of inadvertent analogues (e.g., ship tracks and contrails). This session aims to bring together scientists from both the weather and climate fields to foster dialogue in an area of common interest.

FAIR and Open Data and Software within the Atmospheric and Ocean Sciences to Support Transparent, Reusable, and Efficient Research and Operations I

Location: 337 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

The need to understand linkages between climatic extremes and security outcomes such as displacement/migration, public health, and food/electricity production has never been higher. Analysis of these linkages requires integration of the Earth, social, economic, and political sciences as well as equitable access to community datasets, data proximate compute, community developed data analysis workflows and open source software tools. In this session, we invite submissions that discuss research, applications and initiatives that build upon the principles of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) Open Data and Software within the atmospheric and related sciences to drive new discoveries. We welcome technical, policy, and community-focused submissions on a range of topics related to facilitating transparency of science and leveraging community supported open science capabilities to drive research and operational outcomes. Examples include:

- Research, operations and industry uses that employ a combination of public cloud compute, cloud hosted datasets such as those provided through NOAA’s Open Data Dissemination Program, and open source data analysis tools and workflows. With the increasing use of constellations of sensors and more and more observations being processed at the point of collection, this session explores the use of the Internet of Things to gather data and edge computing to process data. An example of this kind of technology is the Smart Great Lakes project (https://www.glos.us/smartgreatlakes/). Topics in this session might include: the deployment of IoT sensors for the collection of environmental data, techniques for processing data at the point of collection, integrating new data sources with existing data architectures, AI and the use of IoT sensors, the use of the cloud to gather and disseminate data, and information ecosystems based on smart technologies.
- Solutions for data and software discoverability, metadata creation and management, provenance tracking, and other relevant topics.

Platforms for reproducible research and reusable tools will accelerate the analytics enterprise and build the salience, credibility, and legitimacy required to effectively inform policy. This session will highlight emerging open-science tools and platforms for weather and climate-security analysis.

CANCELLED-Leveraging Commercial Industry in Engineering Resilient Communities for a Weather-Ready Nation in a Changing Environment

Location: Holiday 6 (Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor)

Engineers have done the research, the after action reviews, the damage surveys, etc. and thanks to their efforts, the construction industry is building in a way that reduces risk in a changing climate. Yet we continue to see the socially vulnerable struggle with access to the resources needed to mitigate disasters related to wind (tropical, synoptic and convective), excessive precipitation, heat/cold, storm surge, drought and wildfires.

Communities and individual populations do not have equitable abilities to mitigate disasters and often rely on government, faith and community based organizations for assistance. From how to communicate basic education on building codes and what to look for when buying a home to entire communities rebuilding after disaster, this session could look at all aspects that our engineering community is hoping to convey through those of us in the weather, water and climate enterprise.

This session will be a panel discussion on a specific weather event (to be identified as this year progresses) that includes invited specialists who are working towards improving how communities increase resilience to severe hydrometeorological events.

This session is designed to showcase how partners in the academic, public and private sectors help contribute to a Weather Ready Nation through structural, industrial and mechanical engineering practices with new research, policies and technologies and opportunities to partner with government and organizations with a goal of creating more resilient communities.

Marine Fog Field Campaigns, Including Fatima (Poster Session)

Location: Hall E (The Baltimore Convention Center)

This session is calling for abstract submissions based on original studies that focus on marine fog physical and dynamical conditions or FATIMA field campaign. Abstracts dealing with observations, new and current technologies (TBS, UAVs), novel methods (e.g., AI applications and ML), high-resolution numerical modeling, NWP model forecasts, remote sensing, and physical parameterizations of fog are welcome from the US and international contributors.

Marine fog forecasting based on numerical modeling and observations are critical for transportation safety, ecosystems health, climate-change impacts, free- scale optical communications and directed energy applications. Researchers in the past have improved our basic understanding of the fog formation, development, and dissipation (i.e., lifecycle) with available limited instruments and numerical capabilities. Issues related to nucleation, chemical properties, microphysical processes and their interaction with dynamical processes such as turbulence, eddies, fluxes, however, have not been studied in detail. Lately, development of novel instruments and platforms have enabled detailed investigations into bio-geo-chemo-physical attributes of fog, and the project FATIMA (Fog and Turbulence in Marine Atmosphere) funded by the Office of Naval Research deployed state-of-the-art remote sensing, profiling and in-situ instrumentation to observe marine fog using multi-type of platforms – an instrumented research vessel, an ocean (oil) platform and a mid-ocean island. The experimental domain was the Grand Banks area in the Northern Atlantic Ocean, off Nova Scotia, Canada that is known for high fog occurrence (40-50%) during the summer. Ocean currents and atmospheric synoptic weather systems, sea surface temperature gradients, oceanic lateral and vertical mixing, atmospheric turbulence, thermodynamic parameters, numerous aerosol sources are some of the contributors to the lifecycle of marine fog.

Climate Linked Economics Invited Panel: Exposing the Complementary Roles of Government and the Private Sector in Climate Risk and Adaptation

Location: Latrobe (Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor)

Just as the world is heating up, so is the debate about the roles and responsibilities of government and the private sector in identifying climate-related physical risks, and identifying effective strategies for mitigation and adaptation. Climate risk data are widely viewed as a public good. And, public and private demand for that information has been growing rapidly over the last several years. Demand from the private sector is spurred by rapidly increasing pressure toward climate risk disclosure, and a growing interest among sophisticated data consumers to gain competitive advantages through climate risk assessments. The private sector offerings to support that demand have grown rapidly, and as a result there have been criticisms and doubts about the validity and efficacy of private sector-based data to address climate-related physical risks. On the other hand, government-based services often evolve slowly, at a pace that cannot meet the pace of demand for climate risk information.

Effective adaptation, in itself, requires multiple complex steps all built on fundamental climate science and the climate models that support parts of that value chain. The nature and complexity of the problem is so large that it appears obvious that the strengths of both the private sector and government are needed to address it. Authors contributing to peer-reviewed literature and the media have shined a spotlight recently, leveling criticism at both the rise of private sector climate analytics, and the lack of government leadership and oversight.

This session gathers members of government, the private sector, and academia to put these issues front and center, and explore pros and cons of methods and models being used in government and private sectors. A special emphasis is placed on the merits that may be drawn from methods that could combine the strengths of both government and the private sector.

This session will explore advances in the data and models that underlie predictive models and climate projections, as well as efforts to strengthen the quality and reach of climate hazard early warning systems and projections on all timescales (from day-to-day to end-of-century), for health impacts ranging from vector-borne disease outbreaks to heat waves.

Space Weather Enterprise Coordination and Community Building

Location: Key 11 (Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor)

The PROSWIFT Act states it is the policy of the United States to prepare and protect against the social and economic impacts of space weather, by engaging all sectors of the space weather community, including academia, the commercial sector, end users, and international partners. This session highlights the multiple avenues and advisory
bodies for this to take place.
In 2014 the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) chartered the White House Space Weather Operations, Research, and Mitigation (SWORM) Subcommittee
composed of members from over 20 Federal departments and agencies, including the Office of Management and Budget and the National Security Council. The establishment of SWORM was the first time the science, national security, and preparedness communities were seated at the same table to strategically address the risk of space weather across the Federal enterprise. SWORM was tasked by OSTP with developing a national strategy and action plan to address this risk. The first National Space Weather Strategy and Action Plan was released in October 2015 and updated in 2019.
The PROSWIFT Act directed NOAA to establish the first ever Federal Advisory Group to advise the SWORM Subcommittee. The Space Weather Advisory Group (SWAG) is composed of 15 non-governmental representatives from academia, industry, and end-users.
The PROSWIFT Act also directed NOAA, NASA, and NSF, to enter into an arrangement with the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine to establish a Space Weather Government-Academic-Commercial Roundtable to facilitate communication and knowledge transfer among Government participants in the SWORM, the academic community, and the commercial space weather sector.
NASA established the Space Weather Council to secure the counsel of community experts across diverse areas, on matters relevant to space weather in support of the
NASA Heliophysics Division (HPD).
The American Commercial Space Weather Association (ACSWA) is a collective voice for the commercial space weather sector and an advocate for research and operations
across the space weather enterprise.
In this session the chairs of these respective groups will discuss their activities and coordination with an emphasis on how to ensure community involvement.

Location: Holiday 4 (Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor)

NOAA continues to make tremendous strides integrating social, behavioral, and economic sciences (SBES) research into operations, moving us toward a weather-ready nation. The SBES programs in OAR’s Weather Program Office and the NWS’ Office of Science and Technology Integration work together to advance SBES research and to transition findings to support products and services. Although NOAA has made significant advances in the application of social science across its mission areas, challenges persist with providing equitable services, understanding and addressing diverse user needs, and assessing and measuring research to operations outcomes. To address these challenges, NOAA needs to facilitate a weather enterprise approach that includes our partners in academia, private industries, as well as faith and community based organizations. This panel session will cover several different aspects of the WPO and the NWS social, behavioral, and economic sciences programs including:

Discussions of current NWS SBES operational challenges and related research needs. (NWS STI)

Public-Private-Academic Partnerships: Why Are They Important and Why Should You Care?

Location: Ballroom II (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Public-Private-Academic Partnerships (PPAPs) are a valuable approach for collaboration between federal and non-federal organizations, although use of them has traditionally been somewhat limited. Such cooperative arrangements are often extremely cost-effective and encourage the federal government to leverage data, services, and expertise from private industry and academia that otherwise would be inaccessible. NOAA has established multiple initiatives that have facilitated data licensing and sharing (National Mesonet Program and Commercial Weather Data Pilot) as well as community weather model engagement and research (EPIC). NIST has been similarly engaged on its Urban Domes Testbed program for quantification and attribution of greenhouse gasses. It has been 20 years since publication of the “Fair Weather Report” which examined the roles of these three sectors along with the barriers and potential for effective partnerships. This session will discuss progress since that report and promote informative discussions regarding future engagements both domestically and internationally.

This session will focus on the changing landscape of science collections.

Location: Latrobe (Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor)

Climate impacts society on local, regional and global scales. Both the impacts and the possible solutions to changing climate require resilience, innovation and cooperation across industries, as well as across sectors (public, private, and academic). The mission of many federal agencies dictates that those agencies have a role to play in addressing climate change and clean energy challenges. The magnitude of these challenges demands an accelerated and integrated approach to address societal needs and innovate technological solutions. But the unique mission of different agencies leads to approaches that may be distinctly different yet synergistic. Understanding that landscape can be challenging for academics and the private sector to navigate. This panel will represent perspectives from multiple government agencies to discuss the role each agency plays in catalyzing innovation and entrepreneurship and how different agencies support or encourage partnerships that include the private sector.

Creating and Nurturing an Inclusive and Equitable Weather, Water, Climate Enterprise I

Location: 301 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Making the weather, water, and climate community more inclusive, equitable, and diverse is a task to be tackled by the entire community. Scientific pursuits have a troubling history of a culture of exclusionary and exploitative behaviors toward minoritized and marginalized communities. Systemic barriers continue to hinder inclusion, which leads to lack of gender, racial, and/or ethnic diversity, and exclusion of people with disabilities, among other consequences. To change this culture, as scientists we must increase our own awareness, acknowledge and address biases, examine the culture and climate of our work environments, dismantle policies and practices that are inherently exclusionary, and be intentional in fostering a culture that is welcoming, beneficial, and productive for all members.

This session invites papers that seek to create and nurture a culture that promotes inclusion, equity, anti-racism, and diversity in the weather, water, climate community. We also seek to have discussions around the following questions:

What are some successful models of expanding individuals from underrepresented backgrounds in meteorology/geosciences?
What can be done to make meteorology/geoscience careers more accessible?
What can be done to build a just and fair scientific and workplace culture?

Introduction to Radar Next: NOAA’s Next Generation Weather Surveillance Doppler Radar System

Location: 308 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

This THM is to introduce the AMS audience the need for, and activities associated with, the Radar Next Program. The NWS is seeking to understand the holistic, diverse set of radar user needs. We wish to speak to the user community of our desire to work with them to understand current unmet user needs and what the community will need in the 2035-2060 timeframe. Radar Next is being designed for more agility to adapt to changing needs, adopting a mix of observations, and supporting new business models that, collectively, will result in improvements to NOAA’s forecast capabilities while providing improved system resiliency and robustness. The Program will manage the development and deployment of the next generation of weather radar platforms. This critical Program balances the urgency of filling existing or future performance gaps with the need to establish an improved, efficient NWS weather radar data collection capability.

Location: 302/303 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

The National Weather Service (NWS) is making an effort to effectively reflect forecasters’ needs into policies and requirements for developers by renovating the process to develop and implement requirements into solutions, which include models, systems, technologies, and methodologies. The current NWS Governance guides us to first develop requirements independently of the developers. and then deliver them to the developers after going through a formal validation process. While this process itself is now widely understood and received, its application to actual situations is currently not considered optimal since the process is taking rather too long and the needed resources to implement the validated requirements is not sufficiently discussed and assigned. As a result, the validated requirements tend not to be delivered to the developers in time, and thus the field's needs are not properly and promptly addressed by the solutions. The Analysis and Nowcast Branch (AFS11; to be soon renamed to Analysis and Forecast Branch) of the Analyze, Forecast and Support Office has been making an effort to improve this situation. We are organizing a Town Hall Meeting to continue discussing ways to improve this situation and improve the NWS’ analysis and forecasting.

NOAA's Water in the West Initiative and Atmospheric River Research, Prediction, and Operations Plans

Location: Holiday 4 (Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor)

Across the 11 western states, flood damages from atmospheric rivers (AR) total roughly $1B per year. The frequency, intensity, and socio-economic impacts of these extreme western water events are strongly influenced by climate variations (such as El Niño-Southern Oscillation), and climate change is only expected to further exacerbate drought conditions punctuated by periods of intense precipitation. To become more resilient in the face of these events, skillful AR forecasts with sufficient lead time are needed. Improved forecasts will allow western water resource managers and other stakeholders to better prepare for hazardous weather impacts and manage reservoir operations. In addition, improved forecast skill will provide better information on how drought and flood risks will shift over the coming decades, which is vital to long-term infrastructure planning. NOAA leaders and scientists will speak on NOAA’s work to better understand and predict these phenomena and other western water issues.

Next Generation Water Prediction Capability

Location: 315 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

The goal of the 2024 AMS Annual Meeting is to leverage the society’s collective strengths so that our broad community can define the steps and scientific advances necessary to minimize the impacts of climate change, and to engage policy makers and the public in that work. This town hall supports the 2024 AMS Annual Meeting theme. The U.S. is facing emerging threats to economic, national security, ecosystem, and habitat health from increasingly limited and stressed water supply and extreme events (floods and drought) nationwide due to aging water infrastructure, degrading water quality, population growth, and climate change. The National Weather Service (NWS) Office of Water Prediction (OWP) is taking steps to transform the nation’s water resources prediction capabilities, ranging from forecasts of floods to yearlong water supply to the quality of water inland and along the coasts, in an ongoing effort to improve impact-based decision support services. This Town Hall will provide a status update on NOAA’s Next Generation Water Resources Modeling Framework (NextGen), National Water Model (NWM), Flood Inundation Mapping (FIM), Enterprise Hydrofabric Solution, and Precipitation Frequency Atlas (PFA), and how BIL Provision 3 will support their development. By the end of the decade, OWP will implement this comprehensive set of improved and innovative capabilities to implement the next generation water prediction capability.

Speakers: Tom Graziano, Director, NOAA Office of Water Prediction (OWP); Brian Cosgrove, National Water Model Technical Director, Analysis and Prediction Division; Fred Ogden, Chief Scientist; David Vallee, Director, Service Innovation and Partnership Division (SIP); Sandra Pavlovic, Physical Scientist, Geo-Intelligence Division.

Location: Latrobe (Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor)

Are you interested in innovating solutions to climate challenges but not sure where to start? This session will provide an overview of federal resources available for scientists who are interested in climate innovation and entrepreneurship. The session will begin with a summary of the types of resources available across federal agencies that can support climate innovation, provided by representatives from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Following the introduction, we will be joined by a panel of climate innovators and entrepreneurs who have partnered or worked with federal agencies like NOAA, NASA, the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the Department of Energy (DOE). Panelists will share their experiences leveraging a variety of tools and resources to drive climate innovation and support their entrepreneurial endeavors.

Environmental Sustainability of Observing Systems and Methods: A Paradigm Shift for Weather and Climate Monitoring

Location: 341 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Weather and climate monitoring are vitally important to keep citizens safe and informed, and to help understand how Earth’s climate is changing. Environmental observing networks are designed and operated to meet national and international data and service requirements; however, the systems and methods used to monitor weather and climate can have detrimental environmental impacts. These impacts, while acknowledged, are often superseded by the criticality of observations to “public good” prediction services, as well as financial and operational feasibility considerations.

Globally, major organizations are moving toward “greener” operational models. In line with this trend, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has launched an initiative to enhance the environmental sustainability of observing systems and methods, with the Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC) serving as the international focal point. This initiative will develop and advance recommendations to reduce the environmental impacts of observing technologies and practices, guiding WMO Members to adopt cleaner, sustainable approaches in all areas of their work. The WMO initiative covers meteorological, marine, hydrological, and atmospheric chemistry observational domains, and will inform the future vision for the WMO Integrated Global Observing System (WIGOS), which provides an overarching global framework for designing and operating observing systems.

This session will provide a venue to share information on the WMO initiative on Environmental Sustainability of Observations and its progress to date, including results and recommendations from an international survey and workshop. It will provide a forum to discuss more environmentally sustainable observing technologies and methods, and to share best practices and lessons learned from experience to date. The session will also consider opportunities and implementation challenges from both operational and policy perspectives, with the goal of inspiring a paradigm shift toward more environmentally sustainable approaches to weather and climate monitoring.

Scientific Neo-Colonialism in the Earth System Sciences

Location: 301 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Neo-colonial research or neo-colonial science is also described as helicopter research or parachute science. This is a practice in which researchers visit a location, collect data or samples, travel home to do analyses, and publish results, all without involving local researchers or communities, or having any further communication with them. This happens when international scientists, typically from higher-income countries, conduct field studies in another country, typically of lower income, or right here in the U.S. when researchers enter local or Indigenous spaces without involving communities, knowledge holders and local researchers. In this extractive approach, researchers assume the right to collect data, regardless of ownership or occupancy of the land. This colonialistic behavior in the Earth system sciences has its roots in the history of European scientific imperialism and the conquering of Indigenous lands and people in a “pursuit of power through the pursuit of knowledge” (Tignor et al., 2017). In the U.S., the discipline of geology developed in step with westward expansion, with the government mapping terrain and resources, and displacing Indigenous peoples from their lands.

Unfortunately, still today some scientific endeavors continue to operate in an extractive, non-inclusive way. These practices might lead scientists to take advantage of local infrastructures without including or acknowledging local researchers or communities. By not recognizing and respecting local knowledge and expertise, and by failing to involve local experts in designing and conducting research, scientists of today perpetuate colonial behaviors of the past.

We invite papers that discuss:

What is scientific neo-colonialism and why is it a problem?
Examples of neocolonialism practices and their impact
Changes in research, funding, science communication, and publishing practices that can address neo-colonialism
Education necessary to change neo-colonial practices in academia and how we train students

Space Weather Impacts to Satellite Operations in Low Earth Orbit

Location: Key 11 (Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor)

The rapid increase in commercial satellites in Low-Earth Orbit (LEO, 200-2000 km altitude) in the last 3 years, as well as the plans for far greater increases in the future, has resulted in the new paradigm of “proliferated LEO” operations. In February 2022 it was demonstrated that space weather can disrupt these operations significantly when 38 SpaceX Starlink satellites were lost due to unexpectedly large thermospheric density increases during a geomagnetic storm. As we approach the maximum of Solar Cycle 25, it is imperative that space weather researchers, forecasters, and satellite operators work together to fully understand the space weather phenomena, forecasting requirements, and impacts to operations that can be expected. As the number of satellites in LEO continues to grow, maintaining safe operations will require improved tracking systems, better collision prediction models, new instruments and missions for improved nowcasting of the orbital environment, and more accurate and timely forecasting models for thermosphere-ionosphere conditions, Solar Energetic Particle (SEP) precipitation, and spacecraft charging. This session welcomes presentations on space weather impacts to LEO satellite operations, plans for new space traffic management tools including the NOAA Office of Space Commerce Traffic Coordination System for Space (TraCSS) and space weather applied research that can lead to improved forecasting and nowcasting of environmental conditions in the LEO space domain.

The Changing Environment of 2YC to 4YC Transfer and Relationship Building

Location: 308 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Two year colleges (2YC) play a unique role in the higher education landscape, serving students from urban and rural demographics, from high poverty neighborhoods, and communities with higher proportions of people of color. Therefore, transfer of students from 2YCs into atmospheric sciences or meteorology programs at four year colleges (4YCs) is a critical ingredient to insuring higher education in our field is inclusive and equitable. To meet the goal of successful recruitment and transfer of 2YC students to 4YC programs requires commitment, meaningful involvement, and relationship building from both 2YC and 4YC faculty and administrators. This session invites abstracts that address successes, opportunities, and challenges in the 2YC to 4YC landscape in the atmospheric sciences and meteorology landscape. We aim to delve into the conversation of where our field is already working to building relationships between 2YCs and 4YCs, blueprints for how other colleges can delve into this work, and best practices for addressing the roadblocks that we may face as we work to change the environment of 2YC to 4YC transfer to ensure it is just, equitable, diverse, and inclusive of all students.

The Changing Environment of National Weather Service Careers

Location: Johnson AB (Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor)

Like much of the weather enterprise, careers within the National Weather Service (NWS) are undergoing a rapid change. Multi-disciplinary skills are becoming the norm at every level rather than a focus on niche and specific program areas. The implications are that the NWS will need to attract a workforce equipped with diverse skills, backgrounds, and perspectives in order to maintain its role as a core entity within the broader weather community.

To achieve this tall order, the broad career field within the NWS is rapidly advancing to align with the pace of change in the technology going in and coming out of the agency. As the primary duties and responsibilities of each position within the NWS changes, so too must the applicant pool of future agency leaders.

This session will feature a series of panelists focused on the broad range of career options, locations, and paths within the NWS to assist in recruitment and retention of personnel that will help meet the ever-increasing demands from its constituents and catapult the agency forward into the latter half of the 21st century.

Atmospheric Rivers: Processes, Impacts, and Communicating Uncertainty I

Location: 350 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are long, narrow filamentary structures that involve intensive water vapor transport in the lower troposphere and are essential to the global hydrological cycle. They are often associated with extreme winter storms and heavy precipitation along the western coasts of mid-latitude continents and have the ability to produce major flooding events and/or relieve droughts. Understanding how ARs may vary from subseasonal-to-interannual time scale and change in a warmer climate is critical to advancing understanding and prediction of regional precipitation.

Quantifying uncertainty in AR science, which may originate from detection methodology, reanalysis products, initial condition, and model error or spread, plays a crucial role in assessing confidence in process-level and impact-orientated AR analysis and predictions. Communicating risk and uncertainty to stakeholders from AR impacts is also necessary for adaptation and establishing resilience to high impact AR events that can result in flooding, landslides, and melting of sea ice, snow, and glaciers.. Continuing this session from past years, and in the context of these AR-related challenges, this session will focus on AR science, impacts, and uncertainty quantification across a range of scientific foci and time scales. We encourage submissions from topics such as AR development, driving mechanisms, dynamical and thermodynamical responses, case studies including but not limited to the 2022-2023 wet season on the United States west coast as well as climate change, linkage with multi-scale climate variability and S2S predictability, compound events, and impacts on different components of the Earth system. Uncertainty quantification is encouraged as a part of each topic.

From Low-Cost Sensors to Satellite Instruments: Data and Perspectives for Air Quality Equity and Environmental Justice (Poster Session)

Location: Hall E (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Air quality is a significant human health concern globally. However, in many regions, the cost to install and maintain high-grade sensors is prohibitive, thus many people have little or no information about their local air quality. Growth in the development of low-cost sensor technology has provided new opportunities for monitoring air quality in previously under-monitored communities and has facilitated an increase in community-driven networks and science initiatives. Low-cost sensors can provide unprecedented information on the spatial and temporal variability of air quality at hyperlocal scales. However, accuracy of sensor data can be of concern; thus, significant research has also gone into sensor evaluation and into development of methods to improve data quality. Topics in this session may include development and evaluation of low-cost air quality sensors, results from community deployments (including successes and challenges), and methodologies for combining and comparing low-cost sensor data with more traditional air quality measurements and observations.

Federal Funding Opportunities for Observations-based research across NOAA and other federal agencies

Location: Holiday 6 (Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor)

The aim of this session is to highlight funding opportunities available for atmospheric science research, specifically observations, across NOAA and other federal agencies that would advance the weather and water enterprise. As high-impact weather phenomena continue to affect life, property, and the national economy, research remains critical. From instrumentation within the planetary boundary and troposphere layers during severe weather or floating on the ocean surface in a tropical system, to knowledge transfer and advancing numerical weather prediction, research from the ground up is the key to advancing science and technology - and securing funding is one of the essential parts of research. This session will serve as an opportunity to learn more about federal funding opportunities. Key information will include the frequency and cycles of funding opportunities for research pertaining to observations, available funds, research priorities, and more. We encourage the submission of presentation abstracts from NOAA offices as well as other federal agencies (e.g. NSF, NASA, DOE) that would be interested in providing an overview of funding opportunities available through their programs, labs, or agencies.

Clean Energy and Climate Adaptation at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL): An Opportunity to Partner on Tools, Models, and Analyses

Location: Latrobe (Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor)

Clean energy is a key component to resilient infrastructure. Providing decision-makers, including stakeholders across national security, government, and infrastructure owners and operators (such as utilities) the information and tools they need to make decisions related to energy is critical to improving community resilience.

In this 90-minute stakeholder engagement session, NREL’s Joint Institute for Strategic Energy Analysis (JISEA) will present findings from their Climate Resilience Catalyzer, a cross-NREL collaborative approach to developing a clean energy and climate resilience research agenda.

We invite stakeholders to discuss our cross-lab research priorities and a subset of guiding research questions related to economics through guided discussion. We will also present opportunities we’ve identified for interested partners to collaborate with NREL to build upon our existing tools, models, and analyses, with the goal to better understand and address the economic links between clean energy and infrastructure resilience.

Coastal Modeling and Evaluation for the Unified Forecast System (UFS) and Other Applications I

Location: 343 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

The NOAA Unified Forecast System (UFS) is a proposed community-based, coupled comprehensive Earth modeling system that is designed to incorporate coastal hydrodynamic, hydrologic, and oceanographic forecast model core(s) into a simplified NOAA modeling suite. The UFS Coastal Applications Team (CAT) - Water Quantity set up three sub-application teams–marine navigation, risk reduction, and total water level–to set the foundation for the selection of an oceanographic model(s) to be part of the UFS that supports the marine navigation, coastal resilience, and disaster and risk mitigation communities. The three sub-application teams have developed consensus user requirements, developed criteria for selecting oceanographic models, selected a list of models for further evaluation, and recommended skill assessment guidelines for subsequent evaluation of the models.

The marine navigation sub-application team is now evaluating the coastal model cores, with NOAA partnering with academic collaborators to generate the model mesh; set up the models; run simulations for tides alone and then coupled to atmosphere, wave, sea ice, and hydrologic models; and then evaluate the model performance and accuracy based on selected criteria. A purpose is to build the coastal modeling communities around these models, and train the next generation of modelers and scientists, to support the UFS and other operational coastal oceanographic models and their applications.

We encourage oral and poster presentations on:

Coastal modeling, including coupled earth-system models in the coastal zone, in support of the UFS CAT effort, including from academic, government, and industry testers, and from model developers
Coastal ocean models and products supporting precision marine navigation, the Blue Economy, and other critical needs (e.g. water levels, ocean currents, surface waves)
Coastal ocean studies for public safety, disaster and risk mitigation, and resilience for coastal economies and communities
Coastal studies for ecological health, water quality, pollutant transport, invasive species, and impacts on industries (e.g. tourism and fisheries)

Connections between Space Weather and Terrestrial Weather

Location: Key 11 (Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor)

Spatio-temporal variations in the ionosphere-thermosphere (IT) system are well-known manifestations of variability in space weather conditions. However, in recent times, different lower atmosphere processes and terrestrial weather have also been shown to produce variabilities that can directly or indirectly impact the upper atmosphere and ionosphere on a wide range of spatial and temporal scales, and couple with the effects driven by space weather. The focus of this session is to discuss this connection between space weather and terrestrial weather. Relevant topics include but are not limited to planetary waves and tides, acoustic and gravity waves, multi-layer observation and/or model-based studies of the different lower atmospheric contributions to the dynamics and variability of the near-earth space environment.

Effectively Using Weather and Climate Data for Health Investigations

Location: 344 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Research at the intersection of climate/weather and health is a rapidly growing space spanning many disciplines. While interdisciplinary research bridges expertise and allows for creative methodologies to be applied to unique problems, it can be difficult to appropriately combine data from disparate fields. The goal of this session is to build community capacity in this interdisciplinary space by exploring how to most effectively use environmental data sources in public health and epidemiological applications. Potential topics for this session include examinations and comparisons of data sets for use cases, downscaling techniques, bias correction methods, merging spatial scales of environmental and health data, operationalizing existing data sources for health applications, and any other topic broadly centered on best practices for employing environmental data in the health sphere. We invite researchers and practitioners from all relevant perspectives to join this session, including climate science, environmental health, public health, meteorology, epidemiology, veterinary science, and any other discipline motivated to explore this boundary. This session is co-presented by AMS and the American Geophysical Union (AGU).

Aerosol-Cloud Interactions in Mixed-Phase Clouds

Location: 329 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Mixed-phase clouds composed of a mixture of supercooled liquid droplets and ice crystals are found across the globe. They are the dominant cloud type during the colder three-quarters of the year in the Arctic while at lower latitudes, mixed-phase clouds occur are associated with deep convection, synoptic-scale midlatitude weather systems, and orographic clouds. Aerosols by serving both cloud condensation nuclei and ice nuclei can alter mixed-phase cloud properties, and consequently modulate the regional hydrological cycle. This session invites papers on any of the following or related subjects: (1) characterization of mixed-phase clouds using observations and modeling; (2) process-level understanding of CCN/IN impacts on mixed-phase clouds; (3) assessment of the climatic influence of aerosol–cloud interaction in mixed-phase clouds, especially over the Arctic; (4) evaluation and improvement of mixed-phase clouds in numerical models. Contributions from recent field campaigns such as MOSAiC (Multidisciplinary Drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate) are encouraged.

BAMS State of the Climate 2022, 2023, and beyond

Location: 325 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Over the past three decades, the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society (BAMS) annual State of the Climate (SoC) report has provided a compendium of essential climate variables (ECVs), their status and relation to the long-term and to other ECVs over the previous year. The SoC also provides a forum for introducing new datasets, techniques, analyses and interesting phenomena in the earth system. Together, the material presented in the report each year gives the reader a full picture of the status of our changing climate system and our ever-evolving ability to accurately monitor each piece. Since its inception, new ECVs, datasets, and methods have been continually added or updated to enhance this picture. Given the broad scope of the SoC, space for elaborating on and providing additional detail for any particular ECV is at a premium. Given the timeline for publication of the SoC each year, time to investigate in detail the state of an ECV and its relation to other ECVs is also at a premium. This session is an opportunity to present in depth status for ECVs for 2022 and 2023, causes for the given state, notable events for 2022 and 2023, relationships to other ECVs, impact on the natural and human environment, and implications for future states of the climate. Abstracts from SoC authors as well as other interested parties are encouraged. Presentations on ECVs not currently covered in the SoC are also encouraged.

Artificial Intelligence for Actionable Insights and Applications in Climate Science

Location: 345/346 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Artificial intelligence (AI) applied to the earth sciences has recently been a rapidly expanding field in both academic and industry spaces, due in part to its ability to extract nonlinear relationships from noisy data. The use of AI, particularly machine learning, can lead to identification of predictable signals from purely data-driven methods. Further, explainable AI techniques allow for opening of the AI “black box” to understand the model’s decision-making strategy. AI-driven advancements in climate predictability on subseasonal through multidecadal timescales, today and in a changing climate, allows for increased predictive skill and lead time, which can improve preparation. The use of AI in climate data analysis has cultivated actionable insights for the purpose of both scientific discovery and for managing climate risk.

We invite abstracts that discuss the use of AI for actionable insights, including high resolution climate forecasting and informing of adaptation and mitigation strategies, as well as using AI to isolate at-risk areas exposed to various climate impacts. This session also welcomes AI approaches applied to climate models and observational data that can be used by decision-makers and stakeholders for planning purposes. Equal consideration will be given to reproducible novel AI techniques, explainable and interpretable AI methods for exploring the climate system, sources of predictability on subseasonal-to-multidecadal timescales, and forecasts of opportunity.

Creating Inclusive and Safe Spaces for Learning about Weather

Location: 301 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Learning about and participating in STEM can be intimidating for people who aren’t already part of this community and may not know how to engage. As a result, some people may opt out or fear engaging, when in fact they truly do wish to participate, learn more about, or even pursue an advanced degree in these areas. What does it take to create a welcoming and accessible environment in the weather, water, climate community that encourages people to instead opt in and choose to tackle or overcome their perceived or real barriers to entry? In this session, we discuss programs and initiatives that have developed innovative and “out of the box” approaches that prioritize accessibility and creating safe, welcoming spaces - who have successfully engaged diverse populations in weather activities and/or education.

Space Weather Drivers: Advances in Space Weather Research and Modeling

Location: Key 11 (Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor)

Forecasting space weather events present the ultimate challenge to a space physics model. A forecasting model should satisfy not only observational constraints such as the onset time, severity, and duration of actual events but also the practical requirement of timeliness, accuracy, and robustness under realistic conditions. Modern space weather forecasters and users rely on a wide variety of forecast methods, encompassing simple nonlinear regressions, complex empirical (assimilative) algorithms, physical/theoretical models, and hybrid methods. For a thorough understanding of the mechanisms of solar influences on Earth, models must relate remote sensing data and the driving influences of solar events on the magnetosphere/ionosphere in terms of physical mechanisms. This session aims to bring together experts in different disciplines to assess the state of space weather modeling and forecasting, their limitations, and the new ideas/innovations necessary to move forward

Cirrus Cloud Observations and Modeling

Location: Key 12 (Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor)

Pervasive cirrus clouds around the globe are known to play a key role in the Earth's radiation budget, yet there are still many open questions concerning the life cycle and microphysical properties of these clouds. Cirrus dynamics have been observed to vary by a variety of influences, including origination mechanism, air mass origin, convection, and gravity waves. Aerosol indirect effects on cirrus clouds have also been investigated based on laboratory experiments, field measurements, remote sensing observations, and model simulations, showing that aerosol concentration, size, and composition all play an important role. These variables can affect the size, concentration, and ice habits of cirrus clouds, which affect their radiative properties. With improvements in in situ microphysical instrumentation and remote sensing retrievals over the years, more recent field studies have been able to provide improved estimates of these microphysical properties, but there are still active investigations concerning how best to represent these clouds and their interactions with aerosols in global climate models. We welcome analysis of field campaigns, modeling studies, and insights from remote sensing retrievals. We especially welcome interdisciplinary investigations looking at cloud processes, aerosol indirect effects, viable parameterizations, and radiative impacts.

Field and Remote Sensing Observations and Modeling of Hydrology and its Change in High-Altitude Complex Terrain

Location: 318/319 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Mountain ranges worldwide are experiencing unprecedented changes in their hydrology, including timing and amount of water discharge, snowpack, precipitation amount and phase, radiation, aerosols, clouds, and land-cover characteristics. Together and separately, these changes are a result of some combination of atmospheric, surface, and subsurface processes and point to the need to for process studies, observations, and longitudinal and long-term analyses. They also highlight the need for investigations that are vertically integrated from the sub-surface through the atmosphere. Integrated mountainous hydrology requires extending atmospheric science investigations below the surface and conversely extending sub-surface and surface science investigations into the atmosphere.

Submissions are welcome that use observations ranging from the field scale, including the U.S. Department of Energy’s Surface Atmosphere Integrated field Laboratory (SAIL), NOAA’s Study of Precipitation, the Lower Atmosphere and Surface for Hydrometeorology (SPLASH), and/or NSF’s Sublimation of Snow (SOS) campaigns. Submissions are also welcome that use remote sensing to develop deeper scientific understanding and improved modeling of mountainous hydrology and its change, either for short- and medium-term forecasting or long-term projections. The use of vertically-integrated data and methods to gain insights into and make substantial progress on persistent challenges for predicting change in mountainous systems are particularly encouraged.

Multiyear to Decadal Climate Variability: Mechanisms, Predictability and Prediction I

Location: Ballroom III/ IV (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Multiyear to decadal climate variability is a fundamental aspect of the global climate system. Major international efforts are underway to provide predictions that can help decision-maker planning for the next several years to decades, but the key mechanisms driving such long-term variations, and the differing sources of predictability on multiyear vs. decadal timescales, are still not fully understood. Processes both within ocean basins and inter-basin interactions are considered important at these timescales, but to-date the magnitude of these influences remains unknown, as is the impact of atmospheric/terrestrial processes. Separation of natural decadal variability from externally-forced components is also critical but challenging. This session invites contributions examining mechanisms of internal multiyear to decadal variability in the oceans, land, and/or atmosphere, studies attempting to isolate the internal and anthropogenically forced components and their interactions in observational and model datasets, and related prediction efforts using empirical/machine learning, theoretical and modeling approaches.

Gray (1989) defined collaboration as “a process through which parties who see different aspects of a problem can constructively explore their differences and search for solutions that go beyond their own limited vision of what is possible.” This definition provides an idealized description of a collaborative environment. However, it does not highlight that collaboration is a nonlinear process involving back and forth dialogue, with challenges that often arise as individuals from different backgrounds develop and work toward a common goal. This is especially prevalent in the Research to Operations, Applications, Commercialization, and other uses (R2X) context as many researchers work alongside operational entities and practitioners during research and development. These groups share differences in the amount of time and resources they can dedicate to the effort, governance processes, organizational culture, perspectives, and communication practices, which make collaboration challenging yet necessary for the benefit of society.

This panel session will feature stories from transition teams highlighting their R2X collaboration experiences with the goal of making future collaborations more successful. Each transition team (including a research and NOAA operational partner) will differ in terms of the number of years collaborating together, scientific discipline, and experience with the various type(s) of transitions in order to offer a well-rounded and diverse learning experience, especially for people less familiar with NOAA’s R2X policies and processes. The panelists will discuss collaboration success, challenges and/or obstacles they faced, and best practices learned along the way.

Panelists in this session will be asked to think about answers to the following questions as they prepare for this interactive discussion:

Think about an R2X collaboration experience that you found particularly successful. What do you think contributed to its success?
What have been the biggest challenges or frustrations about your R2X collaborations? How could those challenges or frustrations have been prevented or circumvented by addressing them either before the collaboration began or earlier in the collaboration process?
If you were advising others on best practices for collaborating with researchers and/or operational practitioners, what would you recommend and why?
If you could wave a magic wand, what is one thing you would want to change to make R2X collaborations more efficient between researchers and operational practitioners?

Accelerating the Transition of NASA Science and Capabilities to Applications through the NASA SPoRT Center I

Location: 323 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Bridging the gap between research and operational applications requires innovation and intentional interaction between scientists and stakeholders. The NASA Short-term Prediction Research and Transition (SPoRT; https://weather.ndc.nasa.gov/sport/) center was established in 2002 to transition NASA satellite products and capabilities to the operational weather community to improve short-term forecasting. A research-to-operations/operations-to-research paradigm has been the basis for transitioning over 40 satellite products to stakeholders over 20 years. Today SPoRT focuses on applied research in 6 focus areas including Land Surface Processes, Hydrology, Synoptic and Mesoscale Processes, Lightning & Convection, Tropical Systems, and Air Quality with partnerships spanning government agencies, academia, and the private sector. This session solicits presentations focusing on use of SPoRT products and capabilities for research, operations (e.g., weather, air quality), meteorological disaster response (e.g., flooding, drought, fire, hurricanes, severe weather), societal applications, and policy development. Presentations from researchers, stakeholders, and collaborative partners that use SPoRT products or present ideas for future SPoRT products are of interest. Additionally, presentations relevant to future NASA mission Early Adopter programs that partner with SPoRT (e.g., TROPICS and TEMPO) that focus on preparing users for future missions are relevant.

Aerosol-Cloud Interactions in Warm Clouds I

Location: 329 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Many shallow cloud systems are sensitive to changes in aerosol properties, which act as cloud condensation nuclei, modulate cloud microphysical properties, and can influence precipitation formation and cloud-scale dynamics. Ultimately, these controls may alter low-cloud radiative properties and climate. Aerosol particles, in turn, are impacted by shallow-cloud processes. Together, these interactions result in an aerosol–cloud system whose coupling strength is highly variable and is poorly understood in terms of basic process understanding. Correctly representing this coupling in large-scale models has proven challenging. In this session we invite presentations on all topics related to aerosol–cloud interactions in shallow warm-phase clouds, including those addressing basic physical aerosol-cloud processes, the quantification of aerosol indirect effects, cloud and precipitation effects on aerosols, and the coupling between microphysical processes and boundary layer turbulence or mesoscale cloud dynamics. Contributions from recent field campaigns or which explore novel parameterizations and computational techniques are encouraged.

Intraseasonal to decadal prediction is of particular interest. Papers which connect African climate change and variability to human health, food and water security, and socio-economic development are also welcome.

An Integrated Approach to Modeling, Observations, and Prediction of Water Availability

Location: 340 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

The contiguous United States has water resource management challenges that are being exacerbated by a changing and growing population, climate change, land-use and landcover change, inadequate or aging infrastructure, and evolving socioeconomic drivers. These changes to water supply and demand dynamics impact policy setting and decision making at different governing and executive levels across the enterprise. To inform adaptive water management policies, best practices, and infrastructure development, advanced water monitoring and forecasting capabilities are needed. The focus of this session is to identify and address observational and modeling gaps in support of continental to global scale water resource monitoring and prediction, with a strong focus on the contiguous USA.

The session aims to bring the observational and modeling communities together to advance the state of the science and our predictive capabilities of water availability. As such, submissions are invited that explore co-design, inter- and transdisciplinary approaches to water cycle science that lead to a better understanding and quantification of water availability now and in the future. Of particular relevance are papers that explore ways to evaluate, improve and integrate existing surface observational networks across regional to continental scales, in the context of terrestrial-based and spaceborne remote sensing, and in support of Earth system modeling of the water-cycle, in order to better support regional, national and global operational weather and hydroclimate monitoring and modelling efforts. For example, approaches including observational verification, parameterization development, data assimilation, observing system design, and employing in situ observations to provide physical process constraints not currently possible/available from satellite observing systems, are welcome. Linking the socio-economic and physical sciences and demonstrating the added-value of new approaches in the context of water policy and operational management applications are also relevant. It is recognized that studies over more limited spatial and temporal scales do lead to an improved characterization of the water cycle at continental to global scales and at time periods encompassing climate, and such papers are also encouraged.

Cloud-Based User Services to Support Data Use in the User Community

Location: 336 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Environmental data, from historical observations to upcoming missions and field campaigns, is becoming increasingly more accessible in the cloud. Cloud access supports the broader community goal of open science as data are more readily accessible and can be accessed across organizations. Operating within the cloud still primarily supports experienced users and is difficult for new users to navigate. This session encourages submissions that address the challenges faced by new users to systems and tools that have been created to enhance the user experience with these data whether for data discovery, visualization, or analysis. The presented work may include, but is not limited to: data recipes, data and information curation efforts, data processing (transformation/subsetting) and analysis tools/APIs, science notebooks, structured document database development, data discovery tools, and software tips among developers.

Continuing to Grow the Pathfinder Project: Examples of Expanding Collaboration Across the Road Weather Enterprise to Create a Unified Message I

Location: Holiday 6 (Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor)

The Pathfinder project was initiated in 2014 as a pilot project across four western States (California, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming) to document current State DOT interactions and working relationships with the weather enterprise (both NWS and private sector). The focus was on the I-80 corridor which represents a mix of metropolitan, vulnerable populations/underserved communities and serves as a main commercial trucking route. The team documented best practices across the agencies to disseminate consistent messages about the weather and its impact on the roads, and the way in which the messages proactively prepared travelers to change departure times, cancel trips, choose alternate routes, or select different modes of transportation in response to adverse weather conditions.

Although unintentionally, the initial focus of the Pathfinder Project was on Winter Weather, but the Project also includes mitigating hazardous traveler due to fog, smoke, wildfires, blowing dust, heavy precipitation and strong winds.

There are many examples across the country of highly beneficial partnerships spawned by the Pathfinder Project. Visibility of these efforts will inspire and lead others within the weather enterprise to spread the Pathfinder Project nationwide. Not only new and unparalleled changes have arisen because of climate change, but also new and unparalleled probabilistic messaging has evolved which can better communicate risk to the public and cost/loss modeling to the weather enterprise in the uncertain climate that lies ahead.

Parameterization of Cloud Microphysics across Scales

Location: Johnson AB (Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor)

Cloud microphysics is critical for weather and climate prediction, being at the center of precipitation formation and cloud-radiative interactions. Representing cloud microphysics in models requires statistical parameterizations of hydrometeor populations and the processes by which they evolve and interact. We invite presentations on all aspects of cloud microphysics parameterizations across different scales of modeling, with a focus on key issues for climate as clouds change in response to climate change. Topics may include the development of new parameterization methods and evaluation using observations in key regimes that are important for weather and climate. We invite topics on new data driven methods such as machine learning and Bayesian methods for parameterization development, emulation and evaluation.

High-Latitude Water and Carbon Cycles in a Warming World

Location: 339 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

The Arctic is warming much faster than other regions on Earth. Recent amplified Arctic warming has exerted irreversible impacts on pan-Arctic terrestrial hydrology and the ecosystem. Specifically, the Arctic warming has deepened the active layer and caused permafrost to thaw, releasing a large amount of soil carbon into the atmosphere as greenhouse gases (e.g., CO2 and CH4), potentially accelerating climate warming. Meanwhile, the deepened active layer makes nutrients previously locked in permafrost soils available for microbial decomposition and accessible to plants, thus accelerating plant growth and sequestering more carbon from the atmosphere. In addition, permafrost, acting as an impermeable bottom boundary, inhibits downward water flux. Permafrost thaw then changes the lower boundary condition of soil water percolation, increasing subsurface drainage flux and thus altering soil moisture redistribution and water table. On the one hand, the changing water table alters anaerobic conditions and thus the ratio of CO2 to CH4 in total carbon emissions. On the other hand, the changing permafrost hydrology directly impacts the terrestrial lateral transport of water and carbon to the ocean. Thus, quantitatively characterizing water-carbon interactions across scales is critical to understanding the high-latitude water-carbon-climate feedback.

This session seeks contributions on high-latitude water and carbon cycles across spatial scales with various approaches, including modeling, remote sensing, and machine learning techniques. We particularly welcome papers that discuss the hydrological and hydro-biogeochemical impacts of climate warming on high-latitude permafrost regions.

Oscillations and Regimes in Climate Variability

Location: 325 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Climate fluctuations on a range of time scales, ranging from intra-seasonal to intra-decadal, have been analyzed on the one hand in terms of fundamental oscillations, and on the other in terms of leading patterns of variability. Examples include the Madden-Julian Oscillation, the Boreal Summer Intraseasonal Oscillation, the Arctic Oscillation, the El-Nino Southern Oscillation, and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, although many other phenomena can be included. In each case, it is of great interest to understand how these two descriptions relate to each other. Do oscillations relate to unstable periodic orbits in some underlying phase space? How strongly would such trajectories affect to preferred patterns? Understanding how these two underlying paradigms (“waves” vs. “particles”) relate to each other will help us to better understand the variability of the climate.

This session seeks contributions on all aspects of climate variability that can be approached in the dual manner of oscillations and preferred patterns, and that try to relate the two approaches. This will lead to a fruitful and educational exchange for all researchers interested in climate variability.

Innovative Technological Advances for Mesoscale Observing Systems I

Location: Holiday 5 (Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor)

This session will focus on promising, new sensor and observing technologies, as well as improvements to current operational systems, that hold great potential to advance mesoscale observing systems and are mission-effective, integrated, adaptable, and affordable. In-situ observations of the planetary boundary layer (PBL) and troposphere, on the mesoscale specifically, serve as critical inputs for operational and research weather models for both the weather and water enterprise. Observing system experiments have shown that enhanced observational density in space and time improves mesoscale forecasts. There is a relative scarcity of high-resolution surface and PBL mesoscale observations, which impedes advancements in prediction skill of high-impact and disruptive weather events. Presentations should focus on emerging, innovative technologies and current technology improvements that hold the potential to improve the accuracy, reliability, spatial coverage, cost effectiveness, deployability, safety, and sustainability of mesoscale observations for eventual use by the operational weather and water enterprise including NOAA, the National Mesonet Program, the private sector, and other government sectors. The scope of this session includes weather- and water-related observations from the surface through the troposphere, with emphasis on the PBL, including in-situ surface, profiling, balloon-borne, radar, and airborne and uncrewed systems technologies. Satellite-based sensors are not included in this scope except to calibrate, validate, or integrate with in-situ observations as a secondary objective. New technologies from the commercial sector and unique observations of opportunity are welcome.

Transition to Carbon-Free Energy Generation

Location: Ballroom III/ IV (The Baltimore Convention Center)

With the reality of climate change, there is a pressing need to sharply reduce greenhouse gas emissions across the global economy. The lowest-hanging fruit is to transition our energy generation sector from being dominated by fossil fuels to being fueled predominantly (or entirely) by carbon-free sources. However, there are many barriers that have limited the pace of adoption of carbon-free energy generation well below the baseline trend necessary to meet aggressive decarbonization goals set by governments around the world. In this panel discussion, we aim to explore what some of these barriers are and how we can overcome existing constraints as we accelerate the transition toward carbon-free energy generation.

Fire and Water in a Changing Environment

Location: Ballroom II (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Society is facing impacts from changes in the frequency and availability of two critical, tightly coupled environmental components – fire and water. Fire and associated smoke hazards are a growing problem, with climate science reports regularly noting the increasing frequency and likelihood of such events as the climate warms. Likewise, recent hydrologic droughts have created shocking images of depleted reservoirs and fears of more to come. Elevated temperatures affect trends in snow melt and snowpack, contributing to drought conditions. Increases in fire activity are due, in part, to drought conditions and elevated temperatures, and fire further affects water resources through changes in vegetation and landscape hydrologic response. To manage and adapt to these coupled societal impacts, many U.S. agencies coordinate internally and externally on research, applications, and operations related to the linkages of hydrometeorology, fire and smoke, and their associated feedbacks in our fast-changing environment. This session will bring together representatives from different agencies to discuss how they are responding to the changing fire and water climate, where they see the greatest threats, and the greatest opportunities for scientific cooperation to aid society.

DOE’s Urban Integrated Field Laboratories: Improving Climate and Environmental Predictability for Urban Regions

Location: Holiday 6 (Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor)

In 2022, DOE’s Biological and Environmental Research (BER) program announced a new initiative, Urban Integrated Field Laboratories (IFLs), to support multi-institutional team efforts to improve the science underpinning the understanding of climate and environmental predictability across complex and variable urban regions. Four urban IFL projects have been established – with research focusing on the urban regions of Chicago, IL; Baltimore, MD; Beaumont-Port Arthur, TX; and Tucson-Phoenix-Flagstaff, AZ. The urban IFL projects combine field observations, urban modeling, and community engagement to integrate research over three themes: spatial variabilities affecting urban communities; observing and modeling biogeochemical cycling and atmospheric composition in urban systems; and quantifying the benefits of equitable solutions that are applied to heterogeneous urban regions in addressing the climate crisis. This Town Hall will provide an update on BER’s growing portfolio of urban research (https://ess.science.energy.gov/urban-ifls/) and provide time for discussion on how BER seeks to grow and connect the Urban IFL research community.

Space Weather Service Developments for the Aviation Community

Location: Key 11 (Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor)

The Global Aviation Space Weather Community relies on a plethora of technologies to safely navigate the National Air Space. Unfortunately, these tools can be unreliable or even unavailable during strong space weather events. Forecasts and advisories/warnings permit the avoidance and mitigation of harmful effects to aircraft, crew, passengers, and onboard technology. To improve the forecasts and advisories being released, measurements need to be made, models must be validated, training should be enhanced, and collaboration with international partners must continue, among other beneficial enhancements. This session will invite presentations regarding increased data collection, improved technologies, advisory adjustments and publications, space weather aviation-focused training, and international carrier perspectives on space weather impacts.

Snow Hydrology in a Changing Environment via Remote Sensing, Modeling, and Data Assimilation I

Location: 318/319 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Millions of people worldwide rely on snow accumulation and melt for water resources. However, assessing the volume of water contained in the snowpack and its spatial and temporal change can be difficult in a changing climate because snowpack is one of the fastest changing variables in hydrologic cycle. Without accurate and timely information about the snowpack, snow-dominant regions are particularly susceptible to flooding or drought, which may have broad reaching societal and economic implications on the security of the region. Accurate estimates of snow water equivalent (SWE), snow covered area (SCA), melt timing, and other properties of snow are critical in accurately predicting runoff response for water resource management and thus aspects of water, agriculture, energy, and societal stability. Remote sensing and modeling techniques provide methods for observing and detecting snow evolution, onset of snowmelt, and spatial extent. Existing and novel remote sensing techniques have been employed to observe snow characteristics. Local and regional snow and hydrologic models have shown the ability to estimate snow properties and snowmelt-driven streamflow. In-situ datasets that drive these models with meteorological inputs and modify the model through data assimilation techniques are critical in accurately portraying snow evolution. A single sensor, field measurement, or model likely cannot accurately represent all types of snow globally; instead, integrative approaches are needed for capturing a complete spatiotemporal understanding of snow conditions and relevant hydrological processes.

This session welcomes research on existing and novel methods of field measurements & campaigns; remote sensing via unpiloted aerial system, airborne, and satellite platforms; physics-based models; and data assimilation/analytics along with machine and deep learning for snow hydrology and relevant extreme events (e.g., floods, drought, and wildfire). Particularly, we encourage submissions that aim to overcome gaps in the current knowledge of snow observation and modeling and/or consider data merging environments for integration of in situ, remote sensing, and model data.

Incorporating Climate Change into Water Resources Decision Making: Hurdles, Progress, and Lessons Learned I

Location: 340 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Although it is widely agreed that climate change is a severe global issue, the high level of uncertainty in global climate models may make it challenging for decision-makers to act with useful information. Making educated decisions requires quantifying the science and uncertainty to assist and advise federal agencies and/or major infrastructure owners (dams, bridges, levees, etc), especially as it relates to extreme precipitation events. Key to making informed decisions is estimating and developing reliable projections of potential changes in excessive precipitation, runoff, snowmelt, and other hydrologic drivers close to dams.

This session is predicated on the hypothesis that by using cutting-edge data science-based approaches, decision-makers may overcome the biases and other shortcomings of global climate model projections and obtain relevant information.

This session intends to provide decision-makers and experts on climate change with methodology and technical advice so they may use the available global climate models to make climate change informed decisions regarding extremes in water resources.

Land Data Assimilation for Improved Model Output I

Location: 339 (The Baltimore Convention Center)

Accurate representation of land surface states is essential to obtaining useful weather, hydrological, and climate model forecasts. However, land surface models are subject to many errors, including from model parameters, mis-specified or missing physical processes, and meteorological forcings or other boundary conditions. These shortcomings can be addressed by land data assimilation, which merges in-situ or satellite-based observations with estimates from land surface models to produce a statistically optimal analysis.

Given on-going land surface model evolution and increasing availability of high-quality observations, land data assimilation has the potential to support Earth System predictions over a wide range of timescales. However, there are still only a limited number of examples of land data assimilation clearly improving forecast skills. This indicates that the community still needs to make considerable progress with coupled and off-line systems.

This session will highlight recent advances in land DA systems including: (i) the use of novel observations; (ii) data assimilation to target novel physical processes (iii) algorithm development; (iv) methodological developments in bias correction and forward operators; (v) incorporation into coupled land-atmosphere systems; and (vi) the use of data assimilation to evaluate and/or improve physical models. In addition, results from the application of LDASs and their impacts on numerical weather prediction, water resources, food security, and ecosystem management, are also strongly encouraged, as well as work involved in transitioning data assimilation from research into operations.

Location: Holiday 4 (Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor)

According to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Synthesis Report (2023), achieving net zero CO₂ or greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions requires two key actions: (i) substantial and rapid reduction of GHG emissions from all sectors as soon as possible; and (ii) deployment of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) methods to counterbalance hard-to-abate residual emissions from sectors such as agriculture, aviation, shipping, and industrial processes.

To achieve fair and equitable climate solutions, it is crucial to have direct and uniform monitoring, measurement, reporting, and verification (MMRV) of carbon and GHGs based on the best available science. This will enable us to remove or reduce emissions effectively. Furthermore, such direct approaches can inform policies, markets, and innovations that will help address global climate challenges and fairly reward all entities, regardless of their size, for their efforts in carbon reduction and removal.

This session aims to showcase the latest research, practices, and strategies related to carbon removal (CDR) and greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation, with a focus on monitoring, measurements, reporting, and verification (MMRV). We welcome abstracts on nature-based and/or technological CDR and GHG mitigation research, as well as approaches, societal applications, and governance. Our goal is to facilitate the development of innovative and timely strategies for multi-agency partnerships with the non-federal sector, including foundations, industries, venture capitalists, non-profits, universities, and states. Additionally, we encourage submissions on topics such as the use of in-situ and remote sensing measurements of CO₂ fluxes for agricultural or forest carbon sequestration and offsets, as well as monitoring CH₄fluxes for leak quantification from storage systems or for optimization of landfill management.

How can we achieve efficient and effective carbon removal and GHG reduction at a scale that can realistically accelerate the transition toward a carbon-negative future? What steps can this community take to support the development of a robust, scalable, and credible near-real-time carbon and GHG MMRV? These discussions aim to sustain the public discourse on the need for a unified and standardized MMRV framework for GHG mitigation and carbon removal.

The Earth Prediction Innovation Center (EPIC) was created in response to the congressional charge to accelerate the development of the U.S. capacity to make early, accurate, and effectively communicated environmental predictions. It is designed to support, sustain, and foster the collaborative work being done by the participating members of the Unified Forecast System (UFS). EPIC is designed to be the catalyst for community research and modeling advances that continually inform and accelerate advances in our nation’s operational forecast modeling systems. Additionally, EPIC ensures that NOAA’s operational needs and the research and development community are supported by an effective research to operations to research (R2O2R) process resulting in improved numerical weather prediction (NWP) capacity and a more streamlined R2O2R process. EPIC will meet this goal by improving accessibility and usability of the UFS for community members.

This special session on the Earth Prediction Innovation Center to Accelerate Community-Developed Scientific and Technological Enhancements into the Operational Applications for Numerical Weather Prediction, Joint between the Second Symposium on Earth Prediction Innovation and Community Modeling and the 13th Conference on Transition of Research to Operations, is aimed at providing highlights on the accomplishments thus far, and how EPIC is enabling and extending infrastructure and user support for the UFS to fully coupled Earth system prediction, transforming the operational suite of models into one modeling system.
