Southeastern Florida has seen unprecedented rainfall events in the past year, with models failing to accurately predict the amount of precipitation over the region. This work will investigate the dependence of El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) impacts on precipitation over the southeastern US, specifically during the cold season. We will examine the output from a suite of coupled model experiments with varying ENSO strength, frequency, asymmetry, and the location of the strongest sea surface temperature anomalies, in both the pre-industrial and future climate. At least 18 model runs of approximately 400 years each will be generated, with output saved from several daily variables and many monthly fields. To achieve the project's objectives, machine learning techniques will be used to quantify meaningful statements in the data. Expected outcomes from the proposed project include a nuanced understanding of ENSO’s effect on the southeastern US extreme climate.

Quantifying NO_x Emissions in the Colorado Front Range during AMMBEC

Nighttime oxidation of monoterpenes (MT) via the nitrate radical (NO₃) and ozone (O₃) contributes to the formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA). This study uses observations in Atlanta, Georgia from 2011–2022 to quantify trends in nighttime production of NO₃ (PNO₃) and O₃ concentrations and compare to model outputs from the EPA’s Air QUAlity TimE Series Project (EQUATES). We present urban-suburban gradients in nighttime NO₃ and O₃ concentrations and quantify their fractional importance (F) for MT oxidation. Both observations and EQUATES show a decline in PNO₃, with modeled PNO₃ declining faster than observations. Despite decreasing PNO₃, we find that NO₃ continues to dominate nocturnal boundary layer (NBL) MT oxidation (F_NO3 = 60%) in 2017, 2021, and 2022, which is consistent with EQUATES (F_NO3 = 80%) from 2013–2019. This contrasts an anticipated decline in F_NO3 based on prior observations in the nighttime residual layer, where O₃ is the dominant oxidant. Using two case studies of heatwaves in summer 2022, we show that extreme heat events can increase NO₃ concentrations and F_NO3, leading to short MT lifetimes (<1 h) and high gas-phase organic nitrate production. Regardless of the presence of heatwaves, our findings suggest sustained organic nitrate aerosol formation in the urban SE US under declining NO_x emissions, and highlight the need for improved representation of extreme heat events in chemistry-transport models and additional observations along urban to rural gradients.

Science is For Everyone! (SciFE!)

Location: Broadmoor Community Church

"Bringing Science to the Heart of Communities"

Science is For Everyone! (SciFE!) is an innovative initiative led by the American Meteorological Society’s (AMS) Board on Outreach and Informal Education (BOIE). This program is dedicated to enhancing the scientific knowledge of adult community members who may not have access to traditional educational opportunities in weather, climate, and ocean studies.

Launched as a virtual proof of concept during the 2022 AMS Annual Meeting in Houston, SciFE! has since evolved to include a hands-on, interactive component for virtual participants. Using everyday household items, participants actively engage in experiments, making science both accessible and practical from the comfort of home.

This year, the program expands further with an in-person component being tested at the Broadmoor Community Church in New Orleans, thanks to the gracious support of Pastor Greg Manning. Both the virtual and in-person SciFE! training sessions will occur on January 12, 2025, from 1–2:30 PM Central Standard Time.

New Orleans participants will learn about "Weather or Climate? Let’s Clear the Air!" while virtual participants will explore "Sea Ice vs. Land Ice: What’s the Difference and Why Does it Matter?".
The session will begin with a guest speaker addressing both audiences via Zoom, allowing in-person and virtual participants to hear the same presentation. The session will conclude with an interactive discussion, allowing in-person and virtual participants to share their experiences and insights from the program.

The 2025 vision for SciFE! includes nationwide in-person training sessions coordinated with the AMS Local Chapter Affairs Committee (LCAC). These sessions will always feature a virtual component, allowing participants from as many places as possible to explore new topics together. In most cases, the in-person topic will differ from the virtual topic, and in-person topics may vary from location to location. For additional information, please visit the following website.

Through these engaging sessions, SciFE! inspires curiosity, fosters understanding, and empowers participants to explore how science impacts their lives and the world around them.

Managing Systemic Risk and Building Resilient Communities I

Location: 205 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Micro-Weather Information for Advanced Air Mobility Operations

Location: 354 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial 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.

Pre-College Education Initiatives

Location: 350 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Greenhouse Gases I

Location: 232 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial 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, EMIT, GHGSat, MethaneSAT) 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, uncertainties still remain in our understanding of the global and regional budgets of GHGs, errors due to deficiency in atmospheric transport modeling, and identification and quantification of carbon - 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.

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

Location: 243 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial 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.

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

Location: 209 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

All weather forecasts and climate projections must start from model simulations that span a global domain, often 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 approaches have been developed to make climate and weather model output more useful and usable for hydrologic purposes. Statistical and dynamical downscaling, alongside pre- and post-processing 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 approaches and datasets, post-processing and bias correction techniques, evaluations of different methods, and applications of downscaled products. We especially welcome submissions that explore gaps in our landscape of regional downscaling methods, including understanding the interpretation of differences in pseudo-global warming, multi-model and large-ensemble regional projections.

Bridging Process Observations and Global Model Aerosol-Cloud-Precipitation Interactions

Location: 220 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

This session focuses on the struggle to accurately represent microphysical cloud, aerosol, and precipitation processes in climate models and the consequences of process uncertainties for cloud macrophysics, global radiative fluxes, circulation, and other quantities that impact climate projections. Intensive field, lab, and simulation work over the last half century has sought to better understand the linkages between aerosol-cloud interactions and climate, yet uncertainty in the forcing and feedbacks associated with aerosol-cloud-precipitation interactions remains a dominant factor in climate projection uncertainties. This session seeks to highlight failures and successes of global models in demonstrably improving the representation of aerosol-cloud-precipitation interactions and consider means of optimally leveraging current or future observational data sets to shrink uncertainty in the prediction of anthropogenic forcing due to aerosol-cloud interactions issuing from global models. Studies highlighting successful observational approaches towards improving global models and suggesting protocols for designing future observations (including laboratory, field, and satellite) are strongly encouraged.

Extreme Precipitation I

Location: 210 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

This session invites papers on all aspects of extreme precipitation, including atmospheric river (AR) events, convective storms, hurricanes, typhoons, and extreme snowfall events, as well as their relationship to floods and hydrologic impacts. Possible topics include observations (rain gauge networks, ground-based radar, satellite retrievals, multi-sensor fusion, etc.), modeling, exploration of key physical processes, short-term and seasonal prediction, orographic and elevation-based relationships, climate change, and risk assessment. Papers exploring the causes and consequences of individual extreme precipitation events that cause floods or terminate droughts, details of the relationship between extreme precipitation and flooding, extreme snowfall accumulation and melt, as well as key factors that inform decisions around changing extreme precipitation and flood risk are particularly encouraged.

Next Generation Satellite Ground Architecture and Technological Advances

Location: 357 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial 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 satellite systems operators. The growing data volume will be coming from current and new sources and in exponentially 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-servicing ground processing infrastructure. To achieve all that in a resilient future 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.

Data Assimilation in the New Era of “Data-driven” Earth System Analysis and Prediction (Invited Presentations Only)

Location: 222 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Data assimilation (DA) plays a critical role in Earth system prediction, and faces significant challenges associated with the high-resolution, multiscale, coupled earth system modeling and a large amount of diverse and complex observations. The recent promises of ML/AI demonstrated in aspects of Earth system prediction also suggest new opportunities for data assimilation. However, serious gaps in DA workforce and the lack of sustained innovative DA research support inhibit addressing these challenges as well as reacting to the new opportunities. A new Multi-University Consortium for Advanced Data Assimilation Research and Education (CADRE) was recently established through funding from NOAA. CADRE will perform innovative DA research towards improving forecasts from short range to S2S scales and will develop the next generation of DA workforce. CADRE will achieve these goals through its integrated research, education, outreach and R2O2R program and close collaboration with NOAA, JCSDA, UK Met MOAP (e.g. University of Reading), TDSA, and other weather enterprise partners. In this town hall, we will introduce the new DA consortium, CADRE, and discuss DA challenges, priorities and opportunities. The following questions are planned to be discussed: How should the DA and ML/AI fields interact and collaborate for their developments? How will the “data driven” prediction model influence DA research? What is the role and opportunity of DA in the Earth system digital twin? What skills should students develop to prepare to work on DA for NOAA and for future opportunities? Time will be given for open questions and discussions between the audience and panelist.

Improving Representation of Processes in Earth System Models for Weather and Climate to Address Systematic Biases

Location: 238 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Weather and climate models continue to suffer from systematic bias. Many are related to missing or inadequately represented physical processes, which are caused by shortcomings in the model physics. It is essential to pinpoint and comprehend the reasons for physics-induced biases and then to enhance the overall model/forecast performance that can be justified on physical grounds.

This session aims to bring together researchers/scientists across the community who work on a range of numerical modeling/infrastructure advancements for model physics. Abstracts are encouraged to highlight work conducted 1) by various physics developmental and assessment groups, 2) in field campaigns that leverage observing infrastructures to constrain parameterized processes, and 3) by testbeds and operational centers. The session echoes the theme of this year “Towards a Thriving Planet: Charting the Course Across Scales ” by fostering a better understanding of fundamental issues in cutting-edge models and exploring potential solutions.

Land Data Assimilation for Improved Hydrological Simulations

Location: 209 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial 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.

Testing, Metrics, and Validation Artificial Intelligence for Numerical Weather Prediction (AI4NWP)

Location: 245 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Numerical weather prediction (NWP) models play a critical role in forecasting weather phenomena, guiding disaster preparedness, and informing decision-making processes. With the increasing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques in NWP, there is a growing need to develop rigorous testing, metrics, and validation frameworks to assess the performance and reliability of AI-driven models. This session aims to bring together researchers to discuss innovative approaches and best practices for evaluating AI in numerical weather prediction in a co-production environment. We invite contributions that address the following topics:

Testing Frameworks: What methodologies and procedures can be employed to systematically evaluate the performance of AI algorithms in numerical weather prediction? How can we design comprehensive testing frameworks that account for diverse weather patterns, spatial-temporal scales, and model configurations?
Metrics for Evaluation: What metrics and performance indicators are suitable for assessing the accuracy, reliability, and skill of AI-based NWP models? How can we develop standardized metrics that capture the strengths and limitations of AI techniques in capturing complex atmospheric dynamics and phenomena?
Validation Techniques: How can we validate AI-driven NWP models against observational data, benchmark models, and ensemble forecasts? What strategies can be used to quantify uncertainties and assess the robustness of AI-based predictions under different environmental conditions and forecast lead times? How might established metrics for traditional physics based approaches be updated to incorporate AI?
Case Studies and Applications: What insights can be gained from real-world case studies and applications of AI in numerical weather prediction? How have AI techniques enhanced forecasting accuracy, lead time, and spatial resolution in specific weather events or regions? What lessons learned and best practices can be derived from these experiences? What AI-ready data are needed to drive future data-centric AI development for NWP?

Winter Weather in a Warming World I

Location: 243 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Climate Variability and Change exert powerful effects on global circulation, moisture availability, and the evolution of weather systems. In 2022-3 we have seen the impacts that winter weather can have, such as through the persistence of high-impact snowfall in California, where snow totals have broken records. There is high confidence that climate change is contributing to warmer temperatures, heavy precipitation extremes, drought, and heatwaves. There is less confidence in the effects of climate change on winter weather and its extremes. In recent years, research has focused on understanding how cold air outbreaks may be related to changes in high latitude and stratospheric circulation, and to characterize trends in winter weather severity and frequency in a warming world. There are also questions to be explored in the relationship between winter weather, cold waves, and natural variability; the role of both variability and climate change in future winter weather events; changes in winter storm evolutions, such as their intensity, phase type, and durations; and the ability of global and regional models to adequately simulate cool season dynamics, thermodynamics, and planetary circulations. This session aims to explore a broad array of questions related to these and other research areas that examine cool season phenomena, including both core science research, as well as impacts to society, ecosystems, health, and infrastructure. In 2023, we ran the first session in this topic area which was well received, suggesting that there is much more to be explored in this subject area.

Building Equitable Heat Resilience: Integrating Social Science and Community-based Assessments and Policies I

Location: 214 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Extreme weather events, such as heat waves, are causing communities to face chronic stressors, impacting human health and well-being. Addressing the challenge of extreme heat requires collaborative efforts at and across scales. It also requires multidisciplinary and place-based approaches, integrating local knowledge and social sciences to put into effect sustainable and equitable policy solutions. In response to this immense challenge, since 2015, the National Integrated Heat Health Information System (NIHHIS) has promoted actionable, science-based information to help protect the nation from heat. In this session NIHHIS invites heat policy experts and practitioners to provide an overview of their activities, lessons learned, and best practices. This session will help others in this space, from academic researchers to city government officials to non-profit organizations, learn how they can also better build community resilience to extreme heat.

We seek presentations from those who have sought interdisciplinary approaches to build equitable heat resilience, particularly in the fields of social science and policy. We invite diverse expertise from scholars, practitioners, and community leaders to discuss ways in which they have, for example: developed and implemented innovative heat policies that support equitable heat resilience, established heat policy communities of practice, created metrics to evaluate heat governance, provided technical or policy assistance to heat-vulnerable communities, or implemented educational methods to assist short- and long-term heat planning.

Cloud and Precipitation Responses to Aerosol Pollution, Weather Modification, and Climate Intervention I

Location: 220 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Aerosol-cloud interactions (ACI) from anthropogenic pollution and smoke make a large but also very uncertain contribution to present-day global climate forcing; ACI are also 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 campaign, CAARE facility), 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.

DOE Plans for Atmospheric Research on Ships of Opportunity

Location: 226 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

A major goal of the US Department of Energy (DOE) is to understand and predict process- and systems-level interactions involving clouds, aerosols, and radiative transfer in climate-sensitive environments. A particular focus involves marine regions, where there is a tremendous need for dedicated long term measurements in natural and perturbed conditions. In 2024, the DOE hosted a workshop to evaluate the opportunities, benefits, and efficiencies that can be gained by using commercial ships of opportunity for sustained atmospheric research, where sensors and sensor suites can be deployed in a semi-autonomous manner. Subsequent to the workshop, a funding opportunity was issued to DOE National Laboratories, to launch a pilot project that will identify, develop, and pilot deployment of a small suite of instruments that can be operated autonomously on commercial vessels to address BER science questions. This Town Hall will focus on describing the outputs of the workshop as well as the pilot program’s three-year plans, including a longer term vision for a sustained observational program of unattended autonomous measurements of marine aerosols, clouds, and other environmental factors on commercial ships. It will also be an opportunity for the broader community to engage with the pilot project.

Federal coastal science for a thriving planet

Location: 342 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

The coastal environment is at the intersection of society with the world’s oceans. It is along our coasts where long-term global change often manifests as punctuated impacts on local scales. Sea level rise is leading to more frequent and more severe coastal floods, increasing water temperatures are having dramatic consequences on coastal ecosystems, and coastal communities are realizing these and other stressors as impacts on their economies, infrastructure and safety. It is in this context that federal science agencies pursue and support state-of-the-art research and seek to deliver actionable coastal science products. In this panel, hear from representatives from several federal science agencies as they discuss recent advancements and successes in coastal science. We discuss how these science advancements are meeting the challenges of global change as realized along our coastlines and consider what role federal agencies will play as we seek to build resilient coastal communities and a thriving planet.

Modernizing the Meteorology 1340 Series

Location: 341 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

In the U.S., college and university atmospheric sciences and meteorology programs often strive to ensure that students completing B.S. degree programs meet the qualifications outlined by the Meteorology 1340 Series (i.e., the “GS-1340” series). This series outlines the specific coursework that students must complete to be eligible for positions within the National Weather Service (NWS) as well as other government sector atmospheric sciences positions. While the series provides a predetermined set of coursework that a department can adapt within a meteorology degree program, three challenges have emerged within the past decade: 1) students often seek private sector or academic positions that may require coursework or skills not considered within the Meteorology 1340 series, 2) the skillset required of government sector meteorologists has evolved, and 3) the rise of both artificial intelligence and machine learning will require future meteorologists to be familiar with the use of such tools within the context of weather analysis and forecasting (which are not a focus within the current series). Motivated by the above, the authors of this submission propose co-hosting an AMS town hall to allow discussion of the above topic amongst AMS community members. Specifically, this session would include a very brief discussion of the history of the series and reasons for advocating for any changes, updates on the current movement within the AMS Board on Higher Education (BHE) to create an ad hoc committee to accomplish the above, and ample time for discussion about best practices to consider in proposing any series changes.

The Role of Climate Science in Environmental Justice: Perspectives from Gulf Coast Community Leaders on Impactful Outcomes

Location: 223 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

The Gulf Coast includes the country’s most climate vulnerable counties and census tracts in the United States. With high rates of economic, racial, and health inequities, the dangers faced from flooding, hurricanes, industrial pollution, and extreme heat compound. In this town hall, Gulf Coast environmental justice community leaders working regionally and in partnership with the Gulf Research Program of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine will share their perspectives on the role of climate science in their advocacy and how scientists can best collaborate with them. Following short talks (8 mins), the panelists will engage in round table conversations, moderated in partnership with the Thriving Earth Exchange fellows, regarding their experiences in conducting or seeking geospatial data, community science, and more generally in working with Gulf Coast communities.The intention of the conversation is to spark community-engaged and community-led transdisciplinary research collaborations and partnerships ahead of next year’s American Meteorological Society meeting in Houston. This conversation combines climate, environmental, and health sciences across disciplinary boundaries to identify environmental and health injustices, examine societally relevant scientific questions, and collaborate in and with frontline communities for solution-oriented decision making at all scales. As part of this effort, we look to community leaders to understand how they view the role of science in their environmental justice advocacy and what makes for positive community engagement.

The Third Decadal U.S. Carbon Cycle Science Plan

Location: 224 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

The U.S. Carbon Cycle Science Program (U.S. CSSP) is a community-focused program with a research portfolio that encompasses carbon and pertinent biogeochemical cycles across land, water, air and society. Over the last three decades, the U.S. CCSP has led and coordinated community input from the U.S. and the international carbon cycle community and captured them in two seminal U.S. Carbon Cycle Science Plans (1999, 2011). The U.S. CCSP is now embarking on the development of an updated, new science plan for U.S. carbon cycle science, identifying challenges and priorities for the next decade (~2025-2035). The Third Decadal U.S. Carbon Cycle Science Plan will build on the two previous plans and aim to increase engagement between the research, U.S. federal agency partners, and stakeholder communities. This Town Hall, hosted by the lead authors of the Third Decadal U.S. Carbon Cycle Science Plan, will outline the overall scope and strategy for the plan, solicit feedback on strategic planning needs and priorities and a Q&A. We will also seek community inputs on the growing role of the private sector, the urgent need for decision-making support related to carbon management and discuss coordination capabilities and opportunities with the international carbon cycle community.

The U.S. Climate Modeling Summit (USCMS) – decadal retrospective and looking forward

Location: 343 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

One of the goals of the US Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) is to coordinate climate change research across the federal agencies, including efforts to build and run climate and Earth system models. Beginning in 2015, the USGCRP Interagency Group on Integrative Modeling began to host an annual Climate Modeling Summit, to foster federal-wide strategic planning and collaborations across the NOAA, NASA, DOE, and NSF (NCAR) modeling centers. The Summit normally has two representatives from each of six modeling centers: NOAA Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL CM/ESM); NOAA Climate Forecast System (CFS); NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GIS Model E); NASA Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS-5); NCAR Community Earth System Model (CESM); and DOE Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM). Since 2017, each summit has included a topical workshop whose theme was identified as important to address by all modeling centers. Together, the Summit and workshops have helped inform the federal agencies of the research gaps and opportunities for collaborative efforts and set priorities for the future. At this Townhall, we will highlight successes of the ten years of USCMS, and while inviting input from the broader community on issues to consider as we move forward into the next decade.

It’s a Team Effort After All: How To Be Good Stewards in Communicating Weather Hazards

Location: 239 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

In the world of meteorology, rapid advances in modern technology have enabled availability and accessibility to a plethora of data that are unrivaled by previous generations. For those involved in any facet of weather forecasting, this ease of accessibility gives anyone the ability to disseminate crucial weather information to the public at large. However, this accessibility also lends itself to risks involving possible misinformation that can lead to public distrust. As early career scientists, there is a standard to be met that combines effective weather risk communication while also maximizing scientific integrity to convey a reasonable yet convincing message to those being impacted by hazardous weather. This session will explore various perspectives on effectively and ethically communicating weather hazards to the general public. It will welcome discussion from government, academia, broadcasting, and private-sector perspectives, and will include the opportunity for audience members to participate in a “fireside chat” with the panelists to generate productive and lively discussion.

Development of Indices for Applied Climatology Research in Large Datasets

Location: 334 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

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.

Frontiers in Earth System Modeling II & Climate variability in Emissions-driven Earth System Model Runs

Location: 244 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

The trajectory of greenhouse gas emissions controls the extent of climate change over the coming decades and centuries. Earth system models (ESMs) that predict the evolution of global climate have traditionally used assumed concentrations of atmospheric greenhouse gasses as boundary forcing. This approach, however, neglects critical feedbacks that influence the rate at which natural systems can take up and store atmospheric carbon. A more comprehensive approach is to use greenhouse gas emissions to force ESMs, which requires explicitly simulating feedbacks among the atmosphere, land, and oceans. These feedbacks are critically important as the trajectory of emissions evolves over the coming decades and as natural carbon solutions – including human actions to enhance ocean carbon uptake or land carbon storage – are pursued to limit warming. In this session, we discuss climate variability and change in emissions-driven ESMs as well as comparison between ESMs and simpler climate models, and discuss future simulation needs to provide actionable climate predictions.

Communicating Climate Change Uncertainty to the Public (69302)

To educate and communicate the increasing risks posed by a changing climate to stakeholders, decision-makers, and the public, there are several methods of engagement that can be used. Firstly, engaging with stakeholders is critical to ensure that they have a deep understanding of the risks and are more likely to take action. This can be achieved through various methods such as consultations, focus groups, and workshops. Secondly, using clear and concise language and providing context is important to help people understand the implications of the risks posed by climate change. Thirdly, using different media and communication channels such as social media, data visualization, storytelling, and immersive experiences can enhance engagement with the information and reach a wider audience. Finally, collaborating with community-based organizations and citizen science projects can also be a successful approach to educate and communicate the risks of climate change to the public. Climate services should work to build trust with the general public by being transparent, honest, and accountable. This can involve acknowledging uncertainties and limitations in the science and being open to feedback and criticism. These methods of engagement can help to ensure that the risks posed by climate change are communicated effectively and reach a wider audience.

Agriculture-Atmosphere Interactions Posters

Location: Hall C (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial 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, and variability is exacerbated by acute and chronic environmental stressors such as extreme weather, increasing temperatures, and prolonged drought. The emissions and sequestration of gases like NOx, 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, and impacts to sensitive ecosystems. Given this year’s theme of “Towards a Thriving Planet”, we particularly welcome presentations that emphasize the sharing of knowledge, tools, and techniques to understand the intersectionality of food and energy production, resource management, policy, and economic impacts in a changing climate.

Global Lightning Observations, Climatology, and Lightning Safety

Location: 219 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Lightning has been declared an essential climate variable by the World Meteorological Organization. The relationships between lightning and convection make it a valuable measure of global convective patterns and how convection is changing in our changing climate. Global lightning observations are also crucial to expanding lightning safety education programs around the world. Lightning education efforts have only recently begun in many regions of the world, so reporting on these activities is crucial. In particular, major activities in Africa and Southeast Asia are underway, and are beginning in South America and the Indian Subcontinent.

This session will cover global observations of lightning and how those observations can be used to develop and augment our understanding of lightning climatology, as well as how they can be used to enhance and spread valuable lightning safety awareness and education to those who need it most.

Impacts of climate change on the coastal environment

Location: 218 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Climate change is known to cause large impacts along coastlines which are expected to grow in the future. Largely but not solely due to sea level rise and the resulting coastal flooding, coastal communities are becoming increasingly vulnerable and are impacted by climate change. Furthermore, vulnerable populations are often most significantly affected by the effects of climate change. Predicting and understanding the impacts depends on the integration of complex, multifaceted datasets including climate change projections, sea level rise and coastal water level predictions, risk statistics, and socioeconomic data. This session will explore the latest advancements in understanding, communicating, and preparing for the impacts of climate change in the coastal environment.

Innovative Technological Advances for Mesoscale Observing Systems

Location: 348 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

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.

Setting Forth: Early Career Opportunities in Operational Government Meteorology and Hydrology

Location: 223 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Like all journeys, a career begins with a first step—getting your foot in the door.

Entry-level positions in operational government meteorology and hydrology are notoriously competitive, with conventional knowledge suggesting that being hired for one of these roles often requires advanced degrees or prior experience via volunteer programs, internships, or jobs in other sectors. As such, some students or early career professionals without such experience may feel that entry-level jobs in this sector are out of reach—that the metaphorical door is locked, and they don’t have the key. In this session, we seek to contextualize these presumptions via informational sessions and interactive panel discussions.

However, a career is much more than one step. How does one capitalize on the opportunities offered by the now opened door?

To this end, in this session, we also hope to provide insight on what opportunities for professional growth lie ahead upon entering the public sector. Operational government meteorologists and hydrologists are encouraged to share their experiences as aspiring and earlier career professionals, providing a glimpse into the journeys that led them to their current positions. In particular, we welcome stories of overcoming adversity, leveraging unique skill sets, or embarking on an unconventional path to achieve career goals.

USGEO’s National Plan for Civil Earth Observations: coordinating and improving the Earth Observation Enterprise

Location: La Nouvelle AB (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

The United States Group on Earth Observations (USGEO) is chartered as a subcommittee of the National Science and Technology Council’s (NSTC) Committee on Environment. As an NSTC subcommittee, USGEO is responsible for:

- planning and coordinating Federal Earth observations, research, and activities;

- fostering improved Earth system data management and interoperability;

- identifying high-priority user needs for Earth observations data; and

- engaging international stakeholders by formulating the U.S. position for, and coordinating U.S. participation in the intergovernmental Group on Earth Observations (GEO).

The White House Office of Science & Technology Policy (OSTP) oversees USGEO’s development of the National Plan for Civil Earth Observations (the National Plan, or the Plan). The Plan is a “mechanism to ensure greater coordination of the research, operations, and activities relating to civilian Earth observation” that produces and routinely updates the strategic plan for Earth observations. The Plan helps coordinate Federally-supported Earth observations and investments, identify opportunities to advance Earth observations, and achieve national Earth observation policy objectives.

USGEO and OSTP are proud to announce the release of the 2024 National Plan for Civil Earth Observations. The Plan provides a vision for continued U.S. global leadership in enabling and leveraging civil Earth observations to increase access to Earth data and address global changes. In developing this Plan, USGEO established three overarching principles that guided its approach and support the vision:

Improve the integration of Earth observing services across Federal agencies and the broader Earth Observation Enterprise;
Ensure integrity and long-term quality of Earth observations data across the Earth Observations Enterprise, and
Ensure the continued availability of foundational U.S. Government capabilities in Earth observations, while expanding the use of commercial data and services.

To realize this vision in ways that advance Administration priorities and engage with agency and stakeholder needs, this Plan emphasizes three thematic, interconnected goals, objectives and cross-cutting Enterprise Initiatives. The three goals are:

Goal 1. Advance Science-Informed Climate Mitigation and Adaptation Activities

Goal 2. Strengthen Environmental Monitoring and Management

Goal 3. Improve Human Health and Safety

In addition to these goals, the National Plan engages organizations across the Earth Observation Enterprise through a series of enterprise-level initiatives that focus on:

Initiative A. Sustained Observing and Monitoring System Capacity

Initiative B. Equitable Access to & Ethical Use of Earth Observations Data

Initiative C. Increased Diversity and Expanded Stakeholder Engagement

Initiative D. Domestic and International Partner Collaboration

Initiative E. Institutional and Workforce Readiness

Initiative F. Continuous Assessment of Earth Observation Systems

In combination, these initiatives accomplish the National Plan goals to realize ever-increasing benefits of Earth observations for society.

This town hall provides attendees from across the Earth observation sector – commercial, nonprofit, academia and government – the opportunity to shape the actions and recommendations within the National Plan, and discuss continuity of and improvements to earth observing. Organizers are encouraging a community-wide discussion of opportunities and challenges presented to the Earth Observations Enterprise, including innovations in acquisition and use.

Urban Scale Climate Impacts and Mitigation: Developing an Observational and Modeling Integration: Part I

Enhancing Climate Resilience at NASA Centers: A Partnership Between the Earth Science Division and the Office of Strategic Infrastructure

Location: 347 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

The Climate Adaptation Science Investigators Workgroup (CASI) is a partnership between NASA's Earth Science Division (ESD) and Office of Strategic Infrastructure (OSI) whose mission is to enhance climate resilience at NASA facilities. NASA centers across the nation are vulnerable to climate hazards that increase risks to operations, assets, and employee health. Managing these risks requires resilient solutions tailored to specific needs at each center. CASI co-produces hazard-based climate projections, tools, and products based on the latest science for each NASA facility, ensuring that center managers are equipped with accurate risk information for decision-making. CASI has also formed partnerships both internal and external to NASA, including the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and NASA’s Office of the Chief Health and Safety Officer (OCHMO). The partnership with NREL involves contributing downscaled climate projections based on NASA Earth Exchange Global Daily Downscaled Projections (NEX GDDP) for the resiliency assessment at each NASA Center. The partnership with OCHMO is dedicated to protecting employee health from climate risks, namely heat and air quality.

CASI is comprised of different workgroups each focused on a specific area of risk, including Extreme Weather Events, Sea Level Rise, Fire and Air Quality, Water, Energy, and Ecosystems. This session would be hosted by the CASI Principal Investigator of CASI, Cynthia Rosenzweig, and include presentations from each of the CASI workgroups and leaders of the Earth Science Division and the Office of Strategic Infrastructure.

Improvements to Subseasonal-to Seasonal and Seasonal-to-Decadal (S2S/S2D) Predictions using Novel Statistical, Machine and Deep Learning Methods

Location: 245 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Subseasonal-to-Seasonal and Seasonal-to-Decadal (S2S/S2D) forecasting (from two weeks and a decade ahead) is a rapidly developing area of forecasting, with the potential to provide valuable information for the development of climate services. Although S2S/S2D climate predictions have a comparative lack of skill, over the past decade there has been a substantial research effort to improve prediction skill via novel advanced Statistical, Machine and Deep Learning Methods either in terms of post-processing of the dynamical model output or data-driven models. Additionally, there is a strong interest in understanding predictability on S2S scales using eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) which could help to improve forecast skill.

This session welcomes all aspects of improving forecasting on S2S/S2D scales including novel statistical, Machine and Deep Learning methods based post-processing (bias correction, multi-model ensemble) of the dynamical model output, and ML/DL models based on teleconnections (empirical/data driven). Abstracts that explore XAI for predictability are also encouraged.

Land Use and Land Cover Change

Location: 244 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Land use and land cover change (LULCC) can significantly contribute to overall climate change. The impacts of LULCC are often complex as they occur in the context of a warming climate. LULCC affects the global concentration of greenhouse gasses, often times removing vegetation and forest cover that acts as a natural carbon sink. This can contribute to already elevated levels of greenhouse gasses which can promote a positive feedback leading to further land use change. LULCC can accelerate parts of the hydrologic cycle, such as runoff characteristics and groundwater storage, and in some cases increase the likelihood of extreme flooding events in urban areas. This session serves as a continuation of the previous year’s session to disseminate research that investigates the impact of LULCC on climate across multiple spatio-temporal scales via high resolution, numerical prediction models and observation analysis. Research on best practices and emerging methods in application and implementation of LULCC are also welcome, as no uniform methodology exists in the current literature.

Community Engagement in Climate Change and Health Adaptation Research

Location: 214 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

The health risks of climate change affect us inequitably. Occupationally exposed workers, under-resourced communities, BIPOC, and populations in low- and moderate-income countries are some of the groups expected to suffer more of the adverse health impacts of climate change. The causes of these differential risks are varied, but often point to socio-historical and structural factors that have led to greater exposure to hazards, greater pre-existing disease burden, and lower adaptive capacity in certain populations than others. Researchers have an important role to play in building evidence for solutions to build climate resilience that can achieve equitable outcomes, but meaningful engagement in partnership with communities is key to the success of these efforts. In this session, we invite abstracts from community-engaged research teams working with climate-vulnerable populations (including, but not limited to, those living in environmental justice communities and/or in low- and middle-income countries) to examine climate-related health impacts, and those working with affected communities to develop and evaluate locally-adapted solutions to build health resilience to climate risks.

Aerosol-Cloud Interactions over the North Atlantic Ocean

Location: 220 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

The North Atlantic (NA) ocean is one of the cloudiest regions globally and is influenced by various types of both natural and anthropogenic aerosols. Previous studies suggest that global climate models have the largest uncertainties in terms of aerosol-cloud interaction simulations in the NA region. Therefore, NA is an interesting and important region for aerosol-cloud interaction studies, which inspire several field campaigns from lower latitudes to higher altitudes. These campaigns include but are not limited to Elucidating the role of cloud–circulation coupling in climate (EUREC4a) campaigns, the Atlantic Trade wind Ocean–Atmosphere Mesoscale Interaction Campaign (ATOMIC), the Aerosol Cloud meTeorology Interactions oVer the western ATlantic Experiment (ACTIVATE), Aerosol and Cloud Experiments in the Eastern North Atlantic (ACE-ENA), North Atlantic Aerosols and Marine Ecosystems Study (NAAMES), Cold-Air Outbreaks in the Marine Boundary Layer Experiment (COMBLE), Arctic Cold Air Outbreak (ACAO) airborne field campaign, High Altitude and Long Range Research Aircraft- ArctiC Amplification: Climate Relevant Atmospheric and Surface Processes and Feedback Mechanisms (HALO-AC3), as well as Cold Air Outbreak Experiment in the Sub-Arctic Region (CAESAR). This session seeks contributions from the research, operational, and user communities that utilize the observations from these recent field campaigns to study the aerosol-cloud interactions in the NA region.

Advances in Cumulus Convection Measurements, Parameterization, and Modeling

Location: 224 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Despite advances in knowledge development and modeling of cumulus convection, there are large unknowns and uncertainties in our understanding of the life cycle of convection. This session focuses on scientific advancements in measurements, methods, and modeling related to cumulus convection, such as but not limited to, deducing entrainment, convective microphysical processes, coupling boundary layer processes with cloud dynamics, aerosol influences on convective microphysics, cloud base mass fluxes, convective momentum transfer, convective detrainment and environment interactions, scale-aware convective formulations, development of unified cloud models (combined grid scale and subgrid scale cloud formulations), ideas for the development of two community convection parameterization schemes (mass flux and statistical/stochastic) to save resources and focus development efforts only on these community parameterizations, and other sub-topics relevant to the advancement of cumulus convection science as well as pollutant wet deposition modeling in air quality models.

Atmospheric Science Education Research

Location: 350 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial 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).

Continuing the tradition of hosting at least one ASER session at the Conference on Education each year within the past few years, this session topic proposal requests continuing this session to host presenters with recent research within ASER, including topics spanning both SoTL and DBER. Furthermore, it is requested that a block of time within this session (or a second ASER session if there is a high demand of ASER presentations) allows for a roundtable discussion amongst the ASER community and other conference participants regarding the state of ASER and any suggestions for continuing to advance the field throughout the AMS community.

Forecast-Based Action: Ecological and Coastal Forecasting to Sustain Ecosystems and Coastal Communities

Location: 218 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

As threats from a changing climate continue to rise, so does our Nation’s need for accurate and timely predictions to sustain our coastal ecosystems (and their services), economy, national security, and lives and livelihoods. Defined as projections of “the state of ecosystems, ecosystem services, and natural capital, with fully specified uncertainties”, ecological forecasting requires the integration of physical, biological, and social sciences. Recent events that tie quality and sustainability of human lives and livelihoods with economic decisions on the ecosystem services of the planet are clear demonstration that the future of Earth System models and forecasts must include an ecological component which are informed by reliable and accurate coastal models. In 2024, the AMS membership approved a formal Statement on the Future of Ecological Forecasting to accelerate scientific understanding, community building, and policies by which to advance ecological forecasting and deliver products and services across scales and domains. The Statement provides a unifying framework and a Call to Action by which to connect ecologists and ecological forecasting with the modeling and forecasting expertise and operational infrastructure of the weather, water, and climate communities.

More than half the world's population, or about 3 billion people, live within 60 miles distance from the coast. In the United States, Coastal communities are home to 42% of the U.S. population, contribute 48% to the Gross Domestic Product, and are projected to continue growing and developing. Coastal ecological systems are tightly coupled to human systems, including culture and population, and respond rapidly to human decisions. This coupled representation of coastal ecosystem dynamics, human action, response, and outcome illuminates the challenges of predicting natural-human system states and behaviors, but also indicates opportunities to improve decision support and our understanding of human-natural system predictability. For example, fisheries decision making (food security) requires reliable forecasts of the ecosystem state, services, and natural capital. However, as with weather and climate, ecosystem baselines are shifting, and transient conditions are the “new normal.” We now face an altered set of questions about the natural world, and increased urgency to protect people, their livelihoods, and their communities. In short, the demand for operationalization of ecological predictions as part of the National forecasting infrastructure is increasing, reflected by major federal funding commitments.

The proposed Symposium builds on the historical significance of the AMS by introducing life to the earth system forecasting perspective in the AMS 2025 conference theme. The speakers, panels, and submitted abstracts will include leading scientists, managers, and stakeholders, who will provide insights on the state of current research, data, programmatic frameworks, and mechanisms to operationalize coastal ecological forecasts. The sessions will help create understanding of how ecology, meteorology, and sociology overlap and must be applied together to solve coastal ecological forecasting issues across scales and chart the course for a thriving planet.

Operational Hydrology: Another Career Path for Meteorologists

Location: 223 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

In recent years, there has been growing recognition of the critical role of hydrology in the understanding of Earth's natural systems, especially with changing climate patterns and increasing pressure on water resources. Hydrologists work hand-in-hand with meteorologists to communicate messaging and provide important impact-based decision support services to emergency managers and decision makers when it comes to water-related disasters. This emphasizes the importance of having operational hydrologists within all levels of government to help inform decisions around water management and reduce risks.

Hydrologists come from diverse backgrounds in geosciences and engineering, yet there is a lack of knowledge, especially for students, that hydrology is an application of meteorology and can be a career path. This session aims to create awareness of operational hydrology at the federal, state, and local levels through panel discussions and informative talks from those in the field.

Snow Hydrology across Scales Via Field Measurements, Remote Sensing, and Modeling I

Location: 209 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial 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 at scales relevant to hydrologic processes, snow-dominant regions are particularly susceptible to flooding or drought, with 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 snow properties 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 may not 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, remote sensing, physics-based models, and data assimilation, along with machine and deep learning for snow hydrology and relevant extreme events (e.g., floods, drought, and wildfire). 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.

Surface-Atmosphere Exchanges, Interactions and Feedbacks I

Location: 232 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

The exchange of momentum, energy, moisture, trace gases and aerosols play a critical role in weather, climate and air quality. These complex processes involve 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 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. Studies on quantifying emissions and atmospheric deposition of various chemical pollutants from local to regional scales are also welcome.

Exploring the Pipeline from Trustworthy AI to Effective Delivery of Decision-Support Services

Location: 245 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerful tool in geophysics, revolutionizing data analysis, modeling, and prediction capabilities as well as having the potential to revolutionize weather impact-based decision support services and risk communication. However, the adoption of AI in geophysical research and applications raises critical questions about trustworthiness and ethics and how systems are trusted (or not) to provide decision support services. While Policies are being established to mandate trustworthy and ethical AI, such as the U.S. Executive Order on the Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence, there is little clarity on what this means for scientists, developers, and how users will trust AI for decision support. This session will explore the multifaceted aspects of trustworthy and ethical AI through the uses of AI for decision support.

Integration of Weather Data and Impact Models: How can we leverage AI to integrate weather models and forecasts with impact models to provide tailored decision support services that account for local conditions and vulnerabilities? What advancements have been made in coupling weather forecasts with socioeconomic data and models to assess the potential impacts of extreme weather events on various sectors, such as emergency resource management, agriculture, transportation, and public health?
Personalized Decision Support Services: How can AI be used to personalize IDSS and risk communication based on individual or community-specific needs, preferences, and vulnerabilities? What approaches and algorithms can be employed to tailor weather-related recommendations, warnings, and mitigation strategies to diverse user groups, including vulnerable populations and decision-makers in different sectors?
Innovations in AI Risk Communication: What innovative tools, technologies, and communication strategies are being utilized to improve the creation and dissemination of warnings and risk information? How can we use AI to leverage social media, mobile apps, citizen science, and other digital platforms to reach diverse audiences and facilitate real-time communication during weather emergencies and feedback that provides for continuous improvement of services?
Case Studies and Best Practices: What real-world examples and case studies demonstrate the successful integration of AI into IDSS and risk communication efforts? What lessons learned and best practices can be derived from these experiences to guide future implementation and deployment of AI technologies in weather forecasting, emergency response, and public communication?

Aerosol-Cloud Interactions in Warm Clouds I

Location: 215 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Many shallow cloud systems are sensitive to changes in the properties of aerosols, 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 on regional and global scales, 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.

Democratizing Data: Environmental Data Access and Its Future

Location: 355 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial 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

Innovation and Advancements in Mesoscale Observing Systems and Strategies

Location: 352 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

This session will focus on promising, new observing technologies, as well as improvements to current operational observation systems, that hold great potential to advance mesoscale observing capabilities. 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 (OSEs) 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 strategies, as well as improvements to current capabilities, 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.

Hurricane Katrina: 20-year Retrospective

Location: Great Hall A (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

This August is the 20th anniversary of the landfall of Hurricane Katrina, the deadliest storm (1,300+ deaths) to strike the U.S. since the Okeechobee hurricane of 1928 and still the costliest weather event in American history (nearly $190B in losses). Katrina’s landfall caused devastating and long-lasting damage to New Orleans and its people, many of whom were permanently displaced by the extensive flooding resulting from the city's levee breach. Katrina also caused severe damage to the coastal environment of southern Louisiana and surrounding Gulf states. Many impacts are still acutely felt today even as recovery continues.

UCAR President Antonio Busalacchi, a part-time New Orleans resident, will moderate this special AMS Presidential Session panel taking a retrospective look at Katrina as an event and the 20 years post-Katrina. An interdisciplinary panel of local experts, leaders, and analysts will explore Katrina from multiple perspectives (i.e., meteorological, sociocultural, economic, environmental, and historical) including its ramifications on the people, economy, and environment of southern Louisiana. The class disparity in how communities in southern Louisiana were affected and the toll on the Black population in New Orleans and the ensuing diaspora to nearby regions and states, in particular, will be among the topics discussed. The panel will also examine and evaluate national and regional policy responses and ongoing recovery efforts, including the ongoing coastal/wetland restoration led by the Army Corps of Engineers and the State of Louisiana.

This AMS Presidential Session panel will take account of the lessons learned from Katrina over the last two decades and ask whether we, as a nation and as an AMS community, are prepared for the next Katrina, wherever and whenever it may strike.

Predictability Across Scales

Location: Great Hall C (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Accurate climate predictions on sub-seasonal to decadal (S2D) timescales can greatly benefit society. Building on the success of weather forecasting, research into S2D predictions has rapidly advanced over the past five years. This has been spurred on by an increasing sense of urgency for human societies to have credible predictions of the time evolution of regional climate to provide information as to what we are going to have to adapt to. Unlike weather forecasts, where initial conditions play a key role in deterministic predictions, in S2D climate predictions their influence diminishes gradually as the prediction timescale extends, while boundary conditions and external forcings become increasingly important. In this presidential session, we will explore the challenges and opportunities for improving predictions on S2D timescales via keynotes and panel discussions.

Charting the Course of Artificial Intelligence for Weather Prediction: Where are we Today and Where are We Going?

Location: La Nouvelle C (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

The emergence and rapid maturation of a new class of weather forecast models built using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) approaches in recent years is generating substantial interest within and beyond the weather enterprise. One factor driving this interest is that these models – which include Google DeepMind’s GraphCast, NVIDIA’s FourCastNet, and Microsoft’s Aurora, among many others – appear to meet or exceed the skill of numerical weather forecast models when using standard metrics such as the 500mb anomaly correlation for medium-range forecast applications. The potential that this new approach to weather modeling could further push the barriers of forecast accuracy garners much public attention, but the opportunities they afford are much greater. For example, a trained “AI-NWP” model can be used to generate a forecast similar to the operational, deterministic GFS in just a few minutes, but without the need for a massive supercomputer. Such computational efficiency opens the door to massive ensembles for uncertainty quantification and probabilistic forecasting, among many other applications.

The Warner Way: The 50 Year Legacy of Principal Wayne Warner

Location: Rivergate (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

During Hurricane Katrina, a school principal had to step up to help protect thousands from the rising waters.

Grab your lunch from the cash-and-carry and join us on Tuesday, 14 January, from 12:15 to 1:15 p.m. in the Rivergate Room of the Convention Center, where we will show WLAE-TV’s recently released documentary entitled, “The Warner Way: The 50 Year Legacy of Principal Wayne Warner.”

Chalmette High School (CHS) Principal Wayne Warner is the longest serving principal in the nation. He started his teaching career in 1966 as a librarian, then later a teacher, and eventually became principal of CHS in 1973. He led the school through the civil rights movement, disco, 9/11, the internet and cell phones, and COVID. He also led the school and St. Bernard Parish during its deepest crisis: Hurricane Katrina. CHS served as a shelter of last resort during the storm, with Principal Warner at the helm. As flood waters rose, CHS provided shelter for thousands of locals who had nowhere else to turn.

Warner is a man of great humility–and of immeasurable and far-reaching impact. Attend this screening to learn about a local hero from interviews with colleagues, parents, students, friends, and Wayne Warner himself!.

Low-Cost Sensors and Imagers

Location: 348 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

In recent times, there has been an unparalleled surge in the availability of affordable and miniaturized environmental sensors. These encompass in-situ sensors that can measure atmospheric state variables, rain gauges, probes for soil moisture and temperature, and air quality sensors for both particulates and gases. There are also remote sensors, including infrared sensors for monitoring sky temperature, mini spectrometers, and multispectral and thermal imagers. While these mini spectrometers and imagers are more expensive compared to in-situ sensors, they are still more affordable than their counterparts in laboratories, aircraft, or satellites.

Generally, low-cost sensors are less accurate than research-grade equipment, but their advantage lies in the ability to deploy them in large quantities. The high spatial information content derived from such dense sensor networks can be leveraged for research and operational purposes by integrating it with sparse resolution, high-accuracy observations. Dense, low-cost sensor networks can also complement satellite observations. An example of this is using satellite observations to infer surface air quality, which depends on statistical correlations between surface air quality observations and satellite-retrieved aerosol column loading. The compact size of low-cost sensors also enables them to be mounted on Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS). On UAS platforms, low-cost sensors facilitate the profiling of boundary layers. Imagers on UAS platforms can be used for both terrestrial imaging and studying severe storm structures.

To effectively employ low-cost sensors and imagers as described above, it is essential to: 1) understand and document the performance characteristics of low-cost sensors and imagers; 2) identify the types of research problems and operational tasks where the use of such sensors is suitable, given their performance constraints, and develop protocols for their calibration and deployment; and 3) devise methodologies that integrate observations from high-density low-cost sensor networks with other data sources. This session will focus on ongoing research on these topics.

Pathfinder: A Public and Private Partnership Paving the Road towards National Weather Service Transformation and Road Weather Management, Part I

Location: 352 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

The Pathfinder project was a joint National Weather Service (NWS) and Federal Highways Administration (FHWA) initiated in 2014 as a pilot project across four western States (California, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming) to document and strengthen current state Department of Transportation (DOT) interactions and working relationships with the weather enterprise.

Just over 10 years later, this seed has grown into a forest with trees rooted from multiple disciplines. The purpose of this session is to build upon the dense network of those working in PATHFINDER related research, forecasting, social sciences and economics. All of us need each other to reach a common goal; the dissemination of a consistent, unified message across the weather enterprise, regarding road weather impacts, which motivates proactive decisions by motorists and the decision makers tasked with their safety, especially those in underrepresented communities. We need to do our part, contributing to the larger effort to reduce the impacts of the numerous billion dollar weather disasters, which are becoming more frequent.

Probabilistic messaging and tools will enhance risk communication through cost/loss modeling and objectively show the tremendous economic value of our efforts to all levels of government and the taxpayer. This endeavor opens many economic opportunities for the private sector to deploy advanced technologies at a much faster rate than many other entities.

The FHWA’s Road Weather Management Program (RWMP) has recognized and sponsored research into this intersection of weather and transportation systems management and operations (TSMO) for more than 20 years. Integrated Modeling for Road Condition Prediction (IMRCP) is intended to provide data and decision support for these kinds of events. This session will serve to unite and shine a light on current research (related to economics/social sciences and operations) and forecasting (related to modeling and NWS/DOT/FHWA interactions) in a unique opportunity to meet eye-to-eye.

Ridges and Troughs: The Realities of Operational Government Meteorology and Hydrology

Location: 223 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

In his book Wherever You Go, There You Are, professor and author Jon Kabat-Zinn wrote, “You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.” Careers in operational government meteorology and hydrology consist of endless waves: ridges and troughs exemplifying the opportunities and challenges associated with the roles from both personal and professional perspectives.

Operational government meteorologists and hydrologists are uniquely positioned to provide crucial information to decision makers during impactful weather events and critical incidents, transforming their scientific passions and expertise into efforts that protect lives and property. However, weather and water hazards never stop. Work by operational government meteorologists and hydrologists is completed all hours of the day, each day of the year. This includes work on night shifts, which disrupts our circadian rhythms and is associated with deleterious health effects. The same hazards for which meteorologists and hydrologists are providing forecasts impact the communities in which they and their families and friends live. Meanwhile, the nature of operational government job progressions may require early, mid, and late career meteorologists and hydrologists to move far from home to achieve their desired roles. Unabated, the accumulated mental, emotional, and physical toll of these intertwined professional and personal factors can lead to burnout.

In this session, we seek to shed light on the waves yet learn how to surf. Here, we hope to acknowledge the difficulties associated with careers in operational government meteorology and hydrology while sharing strategies for overcoming them. Particular topics of interest include life/work balance, critical incident stress management, shift work strategies, and maintenance of health and well-being. Ideas for talks, posters, and panel discussions associated with any of these topics (and beyond) are welcomed and encouraged.

A Review of Modern Drone Observations and the Need for Drone Platform Standardization and Autonomy

Location: 355 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

The development of drone technologies has led to new in situ and remote sensing methodologies. Drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), have use cases including weather modification, atmospheric observations, hydrological studies, general GIS, and greenhouse gas emissions monitoring. This technology has become more prevalent in these fields over the past decade (Miller 2023, Jung et all, 2022, Henneberg 2023, many more).

This presentation aims to provide a comprehensive review of modern drone observations in meteorological research and emphasize the need for drone platform standardization and autonomy. We will discuss the current state of drone technologies used in various meteorological applications, focusing on their capabilities, limitations, and potential for future improvements and standardization. By examining these case studies, we will showcase the diversity of drone platforms and the challenges associated with integrating data from various sources. The lack of standardization in drone platforms and autonomy can present challenges to data sharing, and the reproducibility of research findings at scale.

The development of autonomous drone systems can obtain airborne observations in novel ways. Autonomous drones can operate beyond visual line of sight collecting data for extended periods without human intervention. However, the lack of standardized protocols and regulations for autonomous drone operations poses challenges in terms of human safety, reliability, and data quality assurance.

By addressing these challenges, we can foster collaboration among researchers and support the reproducibility of data. This will be critical as drone studies and in field use continue to become more prevalent. The insights gained from this review will inform future research directions, policy recommendations, and technology development efforts in the field of meteorological drone applications.

Climate Literacy and Communication

Location: 350 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

This session highlights the efforts focused on increasing climate knowledge, identifying barriers to climate literacy, and establishing best practices for climate communication. Climate communication involves informing audiences on the various changes to the climate and the environment from anthropogenic activities. Climate communication efforts may include but are not limited to museum exhibits, outreach activities, art galleries, and podcasts. A climate-literate person “understands the essential principles of Earth’s climate system, knows how to assess scientifically credible information about climate, communicates about climate and climate change in a meaningful way, and is able to make informed and responsible decisions with regard to actions that may affect climate” (USGCRP, 2009). Continued work in this field is important because it ensures a scientifically literate populace as citizens need to be able to make informed decisions regarding climate mitigation and adaptation strategies.

Climatological Observing Needs From the Ground Up: Advancements in Soil Moisture and Aerosol Measurements, Observations, Retrievals, and Applications (Poster Session)

Location: Hall C (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Soil moisture is an essential climate that is increasing being incorporated into in-situ networks and satellite platforms due to its value in hydrological (i.e., droughts and floods) and vegetation health (i.e., agricultural production, wildfire risk) monitoring. As soil moisture data becomes more widely available, the challenges associated with monitoring and combining soil moisture datasets will become more apparent. These include disparities in observation depth among in-situ networks and remotely sensed data (surface conditions only), heterogeneity of the soil, and differences in the sensing technology, quality control, and period of record among others. This session is interested in presentations that focus on resolving such challenges as well as useful applications that promote the wider spread adoption and use of soil moisture information.

The largest uncertainty in estimating anthropogenic climate radiative forcing is caused by inaccurate assessment of radiative forcing due to aerosol-radiation and aerosol-cloud interactions. Additionally, our level of scientific understanding (LOSU) for these interactions remained low or very low in all previous Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports. Multiple factors, including observational limitations and equifinality in climate models, have led to these persistent uncertainties in assessing the aerosol radiative forcing from pre-industrial to present times. In this session, we invite novel research work on the application of ground-based, airborne and satellite remote sensing of atmospheric aerosols, in particular, addressing and reducing instrumental uncertainties in observing aerosol characteristics such as aerosol optical depth (AOD), Angstrom exponent, surface albedo, and relevant aerosol products. Key research work dealing with high resolution measurements using ground-based networks such as Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) and satellite instruments such as MODerate resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS), Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS), Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) Imager, and Multiangle Imaging Spectro Radiometer (MISR) are solicited for this session. Satellite observations are particularly important, as they offer truly global constraints for climate models and air quality applications. Aerosol-cloud (indirect) and aerosol-radiation (direct) interactions generate intricate feedback processes that affect both meteorological phenomena and aerosol features. Oftentimes, it remains challenging to distinguish between natural aerosol variability (“signal”) and errors in remote sensing (“noise”) arising due to multi-scale (both temporal and spatial) atmospheric dynamics. Innovative approaches to accurately capture the heterogeneities in aerosol regimes across varying surface types, weather, and climate conditions are considered valuable. We welcome research contributions from multiple fields working at the intersection of weather, climate, and remote sensing that propose novel strategies to enhance the quality of aerosol observations and improve aerosol retrieval algorithms and measurements. Contributions that offer new approaches for managing and refining aerosol records for weather forecasting and climate models are also encouraged.

A Roadmap for an Integrated Community Physical Model of Lightning

Location: 210 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Development of a holistic physical model for lightning is a grand challenge that relies on linking meteorological, chemical, plasma, optical, and radio physical process models across vast spatiotemporal scales ranging from molecular (sub-micrometer, sub-picosecond) to mesoscale (100s of kilometers, hours). A 60-person workshop held on 1-3 April 2024 in Albuquerque, NM reviewed existing approaches to modeling each of these physical sub-components, and discussed known capabilities, uncertainties and opportunities for improvement. The outcome of the workshop was a roadmap that will guide five years of initial integration efforts and science improvements, aimed at the first end-to-end physical model of lightning. The system is envisioned to be modular, and developed for wide community use by those interested in modeling lightning from the sub-flash to global scales. The purpose of this town hall is to describe the current roadmap to the atmospheric and space electricity, atmospheric science, meteorological, and broader earth science communities to solicit comment on the roadmap. We invite community participation in this grand challenge, and will describe how we envision components of the work to align with the missions and funding models of various government, academic, and industry stakeholders.

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

Location: 218 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial 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 (e.g. total water level), 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 has been evaluating the coastal model cores for the past 1.5 years+, 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. Goals of this effort are to build the coastal modeling communities around these models; train the next generation of modelers and scientists, exposing them to operational model requirements and constraints; and 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)

Weather and climate mediate the emergence and transmission of numerous infectious diseases, ranging from viral to vector-borne. This has raised increasing concerns that climate change, in changing temperature, humidity, and precipitation, will alter the seasonality and spatial range of infectious diseases. This session invites submissions that improve our understanding of the environmental drivers of infectious disease, describe modeling frameworks for predicting and projecting changes in disease prevalence on timescales ranging from days to decades, or describe solutions and best practices for reducing the transmission of environmentally-mediated diseases. Submissions salient to infectious disease early warning are particularly encouraged.

Progress with the Community-based Radiative Transfer Model (CRTM) & Satellite Data Impact Assessments

Location: 203 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

The assimilation of observations from a substantial and growing number of sensors deployed on environmental satellites requires rapid, accurate conversion of environmental field variables to the physical variables detected and quantified by the sensors. The Community-base Radiative Transfer Model (CRTM) provides this capability to the satellite data user community in support of a broad array of data assimilation systems and environmental models, as well as retrieval systems. This session solicits contributions on methods to improve the speed and accuracy of components of the CRTM, as well as additions to support assimilation of data from new or novel satellite sensors.

The mission of the Joint Center for Satellite Data Assimilation (JCSDA) is to accelerate and improve the impact of research and operational satellite data in numerical environmental analyses and prediction models. The growing number and variety of satellite platforms, sensors, and owners renders this mission to be of ever-increasing importance. For this session contributions are solicited reporting on the results of efforts to assimilate new or novel satellite sensor data into environmental prediction models.

Emulating Physical Parameterizations using Artificial Intelligence

Location: 245 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Dynamical cores of numerical weather prediction (NWP) models are extremely powerful tools. Rather than completely replacing NWP models with artificial intelligence, another approach is to replace just the physical parameterizations with artificial intelligence. This can achieve dramatic speed-up of model integration, without sacrificing interpretability. This session solicits research topics related to emulating physical parameterizations using artificial intelligence.

NASA EVS-3 IMPACTS Data User Workshop

Location: 209 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

The Investigation of Microphysics and Precipitation for Atlantic Coast-Threatening Snowstorms (IMPACTS) is a NASA EVS-3 mission that flew a complementary suite of remote-sensing and in-situ instruments in 3 deployments on the NASA ER-2 and P-3 aircraft to provide observations critical to understanding the mechanisms of snowband formation, organization, and evolution. The P-3, deployed from Wallops Flight Facility (WFF), carried a suite of microphysical probes, flight level meteorological data, and a dropsonde system. The ER-2 (based out of the Southeast US) carried a suite of radars, microwave radiometers, and a lidar. Each deployment covered 6-8 weeks in January and February 2020-2023, sampling a total of 35 storm systems, with 26 flights dedicated to collocated sampling using the 2 aircraft together. IMPACTS is committed to the full and open sharing of scientific data obtained during field campaigns with all users as soon as such data becomes available. All data products are being archived at NASA’s Global Hydrology Resource Center (GHRC) Distributed Active Archive Center (DAAC) so that the community can use the IMPACTS data products for research and mission development work. To this end, we will hold our fourth IMPACTS Data User Workshop in-person at the 105^th AMS Annual Meeting. This open data workshop enables our IMPACTS team to present important information to our potential IMPACTS data users to help with analysis of the data.

Special Session on Innovative Applications of Aerial-based Image Collection and Use for Natural Disaster Response

Location: 355 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Since 1980, the United States has sustained 378 one-billion dollar weather and climate disasters. Beyond the financial implications of such events, these disasters have varied and long-lasting impacts on human and natural systems across the country. Often these impacts are greatest in socioeconomically marginalized communities that may not have access to resources to recover from such events. Analyses suggest that the number and costs of such weather and climate disasters is increasing due in part to increased exposure, vulnerability, and frequency of extreme natural disasters. Fortunately, many Federal, state, local, and tribal government sectors have established protocols for responding to such events, often while leveraging resources from industry and academic partners.

Although the specific missions vary across the disaster response spectrum and from event to event, an accurate account of damage assessment from aerial image collection has proven to serve as a critical starting point for many of these functions. Particularly as it relates to weather related natural disasters, for emergency managers, rapid collection and analysis of such information aids in determining the need for disaster declarations and mobilization of critical resources for efficient response and recovery. During severe storm and flood events, National Weather Service offices can use the same data to document the cause and severity of damage, then relay important impact-based information to the public. For researchers, accurate, high-fidelity data can be used to diagnose sub-storm scale processes after the fact, and use the information to improve the science of forecasts and warnings for future events.

Regardless of the specific application, innovative use of aerial-based platforms and the development of efficient procedures for their deployment are essential to effectively prepare for future disasters and adaptively enable quality data collection for damage assessments.

This special session aims to bring together developers and operators of novel aerial image collection methods (e.g., uncrewed aircraft) for storm damage assessment, and combine them with relevant stakeholders and decision makers, to share the current state of research and operational applications, and to spark collaboration and innovation for greater societal and environmental benefit.

Advances in Communicating the Risk of Drought and Cascading Hazards

Location: 345 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

This session will inform better communications of drought risk to support diverse communities as they proactively act to mitigate, plan for, and adapt to drought. Effective drought risk management relies on drought information conveyed in an actionable way that enables people to learn, adapt to drought, and prevent and mitigate drought risk. Yet, water and resource managers, information providers, and researchers face difficulty in communicating risk related to drought because it is a complex hazard that is highly variable in terms of onset, duration, extent, and impacts. Drought risk is influenced not only by hydrologic and atmospheric conditions, but also human factors such as management practices, land use, and community capacity to take certain actions. In addition, droughts can be compounded by the co-occurrence of other hazards (e.g., heatwaves, wildfires, flooding) and can, in turn, increase the risk of these cascading hazards, especially to already vulnerable people. Further, drought’s direct and indirect impacts can accumulate, negatively affecting health, livelihoods, and ecosystems.

In light of these complex challenges, there is a clear need for further social science and interdisciplinary research on effectively communicating drought risk to those planning for and responding to the impacts of drought. Presentations will highlight advances in research and efforts to improve messaging and communication of drought risk and its cascading hazards. Specific topics will include, but are not limited to: efforts to convey uncertainty in drought risk; case studies demonstrating successful exchange of drought risk knowledge between those researching and those responding to drought; integrating physical, biological, and social sciences in communication efforts; communicating our emerging understanding of drought in a changing climate; and tailored communication practices on drought risk for different economic sectors and decision making needs.

Aerosol-Cloud Interactions in Mixed-Phase Clouds

Location: 220 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial 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) and CAPE-k (Cloud And Precipitation Experiment at kennaook) are encouraged.

Climate Science for Practitioners: How are Climate Services being Used to Increase Community Resilience?

Location: 347 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

As the impacts of climate change become more apparent around the world, the call for a climate services approach to support adaption efforts has strengthened. Despite the goal of climate services being to develop outputs that can be used by decision makers, this approach has instead produced data tools that can be difficult to use or are not fit for purpose (Dilling & Lemos 2011; McNie 2013). Beyond the generation of new climate science tools or data sets is the question: is any of this information usable to decision makers? In spite of the availability of climate science information increasing in recent years, decision makers, especially at the local-level, struggle to use it in their planning efforts. The process by which decision makers engage with climate science is equally important as the climate data tool they use (Findlater, et al. 2021). If they are not able to incorporate climate science information into planning decisions, climate adaptation efforts, for example, those related to long-term infrastructure projects, will be delayed and increase risk exposure for communities. The goal of this sessions is to explore how climate change information is being used by state and local-level officials to help prepare communities for our changing climate. Presentations in this session should focus on the process of how climate change information is being implemented and not on describing new climate data tools.

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

Location: 208 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial 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?

Identifying User Needs for the Future of Weather Radar: A Town Hall Discussion on Radar Next

Location: 226 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Radars are critical assets to protect the public and the Nation’s economic security. The current Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD) program has been one of the most impactful weather technologies, providing critical information to support the saving of lives and livelihoods for more than 30 years. However, NEXRAD, deployed in the 1990s, has exceeded its original design life putting the Nation at increasing risk of radar outages and gaps in key areas.The Radar Next Program was established to ensure the National Weather Service can continue to deliver and improve upon critical weather data to support the Nation. The program aims to design and deploy the next-generation network of weather radars to ensure continuity of radar data, address current gaps in radar coverage, and enhance performance and capabilities.This town hall is intended to discuss the needs of the future radar solution. Following an update on the progress of Radar Next and the Broad Agency Announcement solicitation, the panel will feature a few radar users from across the weather enterprise to discuss their needs for the next radar system both to protect the public sectors through enhanced Impact-Based Decision Support Services and sectors of the economy that rely on radar data. This town hall will encourage an open dialogue with all participants to better understand what is needed from the future radar solution and how Radar Next intends to meet those needs.

Linking Analysis and Forecasting Needs to Solutions (such as models, systems, technologies, and methodologies) through the Strategies, Policies, and Requirements of the National Weather Service

Location: 223 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

The National Weather Service (NWS) is making a continuing effort to improve the process to develop requirements and implement them into solutions, in terms of models, systems, technologies, and methodologies in order to effectively reflect forecasters’ needs into policies and requirements. The NWS Governance guides us to first develop requirements independently of the developers (but share with them for a validity check in a later stage), and then formally deliver them to the developers after going through the NWS 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 systematically implemented into the solutions, and thus the field's needs are not properly and promptly addressed by the solutions. The Analysis and Forecast Branch (AFS11) within the Analyze, Forecast and Support Office of the NWS 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.

Connecting How Weather and Climate Influence Hydrodynamic Processes Within the Coastal Marine System

Location: 218 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Understanding how weather and climate influence the coastal marine environment is crucial for developing adaptation and mitigation strategies. Coastal waters pose challenges for both observationalists and modelers, where the fluxes of buoyancy, heat and momentum across the air-sea interface play a pivotal role in shaping coastal conditions and influencing coastal processes. These coastal ocean processes, ranging across a broad spectrum of spatio-temporal scales, intersect with synoptic-scale atmospheric conditions or weather, where one can amplify or dampen the other. Therefore, exploring this interplay sheds light on the mechanisms driving coastal climate variability.

This session invites presentations on modeling and observational studies that advance our understanding on the impact of weather events on coastal dynamics and unraveling how climate and climate change influences these events and their repercussions. This session will include discussions on processes at the event and climatological scale, probing how they impact fluxes at the air-sea interface. Questions to be explored include: Are persistent diurnally varying conditions, such as the sea-land breeze circulation, more influential than episodic events in molding the coastal environment? Can individual events alter the seasonal trajectory of coastal systems? Furthermore, the session emphasizes the role of waves in mediating air-sea exchanges and shaping coastal hydrodynamics. With a spotlight on improving reanalysis products for the coastal zone, discussions will revolve around overcoming challenges such as the scarcity of observations and terrestrial biasing in downscaling global climate data.

Through facilitating interdisciplinary collaboration and innovative research, this session seeks to advance our holistic understanding of these critical processes and pave the way for more accurate predictions of coastal environments in a changing world.

World Through My Eyes: Charting the Course for Accessibility in Everyday Life

Location: 208 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Up to 1 in 4 adults in the United States have some type of disability, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. However, the far-reaching accessibility needs experienced by those with disabilities are often faced invisibly and quietly, everyday, and are often left out of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)-related conversations. We propose a session as part of the Sixth Symposium on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to chart the course on how accessibility concerns are being confronted and overcome in everyday life, and how allies can help overcome accessibility challenges, within the AMS and the broader atmospheric sciences community. This session will be hosted by the Accessibility Committee within the AMS Board on Representation, Accessibility, Inclusion, and Diversity and complements the World Through My Eyes webinar series hosted throughout the year to raise awareness and start discussion on accessibility needs across the AMS community. Our comprehensive discussion will highlight a variety of accessibility concerns, including, but not limited to, those related to vision, hearing, and mobility impairment; cognitive disabilities; neurodiversity; mental health conditions; and the intersectionality of multiple disabilities and minority identities. This discussion will not only cover needs faced by individuals with accessibility concerns and how these integrate into everyday life, but will also consider challenges faced by those around them (e.g., family and loved ones, caretakers, employers/employees, colleagues, etc.). This will be a panel discussion amongst invited panelists speaking on their personal experience with accessibility needs, as well as their expertise on related topics.

Atmospheric Rivers: Processes, Impacts, and Communicating Uncertainty I

Location: 244 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial 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 on subseasonal-to-interdecadal and local-to-global scales and change in a warmer climate is critical to advancing understanding and prediction of regional precipitation and water availability.

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 spatiotemporal scales. We encourage submissions from topics such as AR development, driving mechanisms, dynamical and thermodynamical responses, case studies including but not limited to the 2022-2024 wet seasons on the United States west coast, as well as climate change, linkage with multi-scale climate variability and predictability, compound events, and impacts on different components of the Earth system. Uncertainty quantification is encouraged as a part of each topic.

Remote Sensing of Precipitation at Regional, Continental, and Global Scales: Estimation, Evaluation, and Applications I

Location: 210 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Global and regional quantitative precipitation estimates (QPEs) are critical for understanding climate variability and hydrometeorological cycles, detecting natural disasters, improving flash flood and weather forecasts, and effectively managing the use of Earth's freshwater resources. However, obtaining accurate QPEs is a challenging task in many areas of the world due to sparse gauge networks, complex terrain, and global water cycle acceleration. The science of precipitation remote sensing, including instrumentation and algorithms, is progressing rapidly, with the aims of providing accurate high-resolution precipitation estimates, improving forecasting at a variety of temporal scales, and understanding the causes and underlying processes of these natural hazards. This session invites high quality, original research contributions from radar and satellite meteorology and associated precipitation data sciences, including improved radar and satellite QPE retrievals and novel methods to produce multi-sensor QPEs by merging multiple satellite/radar products and/or in-situ observations. Assessments of remotely sensed QPE product performance, as well as demonstrations of the applicability of remotely sensed QPEs for improved weather and hazards forecasting or hydrometeorological process understanding are also encouraged.

Exploring Transition Practices Across the Weather, Water, and Climate Enterprise: Panel Discussion [Panelists Invited]

Location: 219 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

As a science-based services and stewardship organization, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is committed to fulfilling its mission by continuously enhancing its products and services. While research findings have broad benefits, research value comes from real-world application, specifically when practitioners turn knowledge into action.
To bridge the gap between research and practice, NOAA has developed and refined a suite of policies, processes, and pipelines (e.g., testbeds) to facilitate and monitor research and development. While NOAA has recently made considerable efforts to share information about their transition process through various outreach and engagement opportunities with the weather community, less is known about how other members of the Weather, Water, and Climate Enterprise transition research knowledge to practice within their respective organizations. Therefore, this session aims to bring together various expert groups to foster a deeper understanding of their unique strategies for transitioning research knowledge into their day-to-day operations.
Invited presentations from representatives in NOAA, broadcast meteorology, emergency management, private sector companies, other government agencies, and potentially practitioners from other sectors will provide attendees diverse perspectives on the variety of transition processes. These presentations and a subsequent short panel discussion will offer valuable insights into the unique approaches, challenges, and successes encountered by different stakeholders in moving research knowledge into practical applications within their respective sectors.
By learning from each other's experiences and practices, attendees will have the opportunity to strengthen their own transition processes and obtain insights into how various expert groups transition research to practice. This knowledge exchange not only fosters learning but also aims to equip physical and social science researchers with the skills to develop outputs that seamlessly integrate into practitioner workspaces, ultimately amplifying the impact of research within the Weather, Water, and Climate Enterprise. Don't miss this valuable opportunity to broaden your understanding, and exchange ideas, on transitioning research into professional spaces across diverse sectors in our Weather, Water and Climate community.

Urban Hydrology, Flood Hazards and Risks

Location: 221 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Urban floods can be flashy and cause widespread damage due to the high concentration of population and poor drainage infra-structure. Among mitigation strategies commonly used are regulatory floodplain mapping, flood monitoring and warning, emergency notification apps, and structural improvements. Advanced flood forecasting, early flood detection, and timely communication of flood threats prior to and during storms are examples of ways in which a flood warning system can help reduce flood risk in urban environments. This topical session is intended to encourage cross-disciplinary collaboration between atmospheric scientists and urban hydrologists to discuss how the flood threat in urban areas can be reduced. Topical presentations are sought in:
- Hydrometeorology in urban environments
- Flood detection and measurements techniques
- Design storms due to changing rainfall intensities
- Vulnerability assessment of drainage systems
- Integration of flood warning with traffic management
- Lessons learned from emergency notifications
- Coastal flooding of urban centers
- Lessons learned from past flooding events

ML/AI advances for urban climate research Poster Session

Location: Hall C (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Climate is increasingly becoming a data problem. The compressed climate model output for the sixth Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) is estimated at 18 Peta Bytes, five times the size of the CMIP5 archive. The demand for higher-resolution observation and modeling data intensifies at the city scale, underscoring the need for innovative data analysis techniques.

In response to this big data trend, the emerging field of urban climate informatics is leveraging machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) to extract complex patterns and insights from large datasets – insights that might otherwise require expert knowledge and time. ML also speeds up the development of parameterizations in weather and climate models (or their sub-components, e.g., land surface models) by replacing physically-based parameterizations with data-driven neural networks.

With many focus areas, AI and ML are revolutionizing how we approach urban climate research. This session seeks submissions that present novel approaches using AI and MI and examine their potential in various areas including, but not limited to, observational analyses, modelling, process understanding, and urban characterizations.

Environmental Health Across Urban Scales

Location: 214 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Urban residents are subject to a range of adverse environmental exposures-- from heat which is exacerbated by urban heat island effects, to air pollution which is enhanced by industrial and other human activities. Much of the attention in understanding the drivers and distribution of environmental exposures and health outcomes to date has been focused on large cities and mega-urban regions or at coarse scales of global analysis. Efforts to mitigate heat and other environmental exposure disparities within communities have, to date, been likewise focused on large cities and mega-urban regions. This session will explore the varying scales of interventions and practices that can be implemented within the range of urban landscapes, with a particular focus on smaller urban systems. Small and medium sized cities (SMSC), home to a diverse and growing segment of the population, face unique barriers and vulnerabilities which may not be fully captured by research at the scale of large cities and mega-urban regions. The session will cover the challenges of understanding and mitigating environmental health impacts within urban climates, particularly in SMSC, with the goal of promoting healthier urban communities.

Artificial Intelligence for Wildfire Forecasting and Management

Location: 245 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Research and applications on wildfire forecasting and management have become increasingly critical due to escalating climate change and variability. Wildfires pose severe threats to communities, economies, and ecosystems, resulting in extensive damage and presenting hard challenges for disaster response and resource management. Advanced tools and techniques are essential to improve our ability to predict, mitigate, and manage wildfire risks effectively. However, applications in wildfire forecasting often lack good training datasets, and artificial intelligence can be limited by the lack of interpretability. This session solicits applications of artificial intelligence to address the multi-disciplinary challenges in wildfire forecasting and management. Topics could include, but are not limited to, real-time wildfire forecasting and early warning systems, ignition modelling, monitoring and supression strategies, post-fire impact analysis and recovery, monitoring and sensor integration, etc.

High Impact Weather Research to Make Warnings More Effective

Location: 347 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

The HIWeather project of the World Weather Research Programme has been successful in promoting an holistic view of the warning chain from observations and forecasts through Impact-Based Warning to communication and response. Key to this has been the building up of an active interdisciplinary community of social and physical scientists working together to better understand what makes an effective warning system. Building on previous work, including in the Weather Ready Nation initiative and in the THORPEX experiment, HIWeather has developed a concept of the warning chain based on partnerships among the many actors producing, delivering and using high impact weather information. This concept has been influential in designing the response to the UN Secretary General's call for Early Warnings for All, as well as in the construction of new and improved warning systems in several countries.

The session will address this topic through a combination of invited and submitted presentations on the implications of HIWeather and other projects for the development of more effective high impact weather warnings.

Air Quality Insights from Satellite Retrievals I

Location: 232 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Satellite products of atmospheric composition are widely used in air quality research and operational systems. The TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) instrument launched in 2017 provides daily multi-constituent measurements globally at about 5 km² spatial resolution. The next generation of geostationary satellite constellation for air quality provides retrievals at high spatiotemporal resolution. The Geostationary Environment Monitoring Spectrometer (GEMS) over Asia was launched in 2020 and the Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution (TEMPO) mission over North America was launched in 2023. Various advancements in air quality research have been made with space-borne remote sensing instruments, including emission estimates, understanding chemical processes, and the development and evaluation of atmospheric chemistry models. In this session, we welcome all discussions about advancing our understanding on air quality and atmospheric composition and chemistry using satellites including but not limited to TROPOMI, GEMS, and TEMPO. Presentations on retrievals, validation, modeling, and applications are all welcomed.

Journeys from ‘R’ to ‘X’: Leveraging NOAA Lab Research Transition Successes to Reshape and Accelerate the R2X Process

Location: 219 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Transitioning research to use, or R2X, is a foundational practice at National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Documentation and acceleration of R2X through transition plans is becoming the standard, particularly since being implemented into NOAA policy. In fact, NOAA’s FY22-26 Strategic Plan identifies this as a priority: “ …NOAA will accelerate and facilitate the transition of research and development to operations, applications, commercialization and other uses.” Yet, even with guidance established and thoroughly documented, confusion about transition plans persists, often being perceived as daunting, and sometimes resulting in a challenging process.
This session will showcase R2X practitioners from diverse Laboratories across NOAA’s Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) that will provide real world examples of impactful research transitions with the aim of highlighting strategies that proved successful for their work, and how they improved their approaches to transition planning going forward.
Examples will span the R2X spectrum to cover a broad range of research such as the assimilation of uncrewed systems (UxS) observations into NOAA weather models, patenting NOAA inventions, and more. Panelists will discuss the different transitions they have encountered, such as operational and commercialization. They will also talk about R&D outputs including software, hardware, products, processes and/or knowledge transfer, how they were documented in transition plans, and the associated benefits with each.

NWA Research-Operations Nexus (RON) Meetup (In-Person)

Location: Rivergate (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

The National Weather Association's (NWA) Research-Operations Nexus (RON) Meetup is an interactive meetup between research and operational meteorologists, modelers, hydrologists, students, social scientists, etc., from the Weather/Water/Climate Enterprise to discuss common interests that can lead to R2O and/or O2R opportunities. The goal is simple: To plant and water the seeds of collaboration between folks from the groups, which we hope will germinate during the meeting week and blossom beyond the conference itself.

There will be ten tables and three rounds of interaction covering a wide variety of topics (Societal Response, Winter Weather, Severe Weather, AI/Machine Learning, High Resolution NWP, Probabilistic Forecasting etc.). A facilitator directs and moderates the discussion at the tables to ensure all perspectives are heard.

The RON Meetup is an event created and operated by the National Weather Association. The name was inspired by the memory of Ron Przybylinski. Ron was a former Science and Operations Officer (SOO) at the National Weather Service Forecast Office in St. Louis, Missouri, and he left the legacy of his unending motivation to interconnect weather operations and research in strong, meaningful, and enduring ways.

Impacts of Hydrometeorological Extremes on Marginalized Communities

Location: 221 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Hydrometeorological extremes (e.g. droughts, floods, landslides, etc.) have the potential to exacerbate existing social inequalities and vulnerabilities that strongly impact marginalized communities. These communities disproportionately inhabit hazard-prone areas and often have limited access to coping mechanisms, increasing their vulnerability and potentially decreasing their resiliency. It is crucial then for all scientific disciplines to engage with these communities and consider the social dimensions at play in order to improve resiliency and mitigate the potential harms of natural hazards, particularly in the face of intensification of risk due to anthropogenic climate change. Addressing the intersection of hydrology, extremes, and society - particularly centering around the impacts disproportionately placed on marginalized communities - requires reaching beyond any one discipline. In this session, we especially welcome abstracts that take a multi-disciplinary, convergent, and/or community-engaged approach to understand the complex linkages between hydrology, water resources, extreme events, risk analysis, adaptation strategies (including policy tools), and hazard mitigation.

Ship Weather Routing and Route Optimization - MetOcean Data Applied to Decision Making

Location: 352 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Ships transiting the global oceans carry immense quantities and varieties of bulk, containerized, and liquid cargoes. Specialized vessels such as heavy lift ships, vehicle carriers, containerships, LNG tankers, bulk cargo carriers, and cruise ships all have vessel specific limitations to performance and safety such as wave, wind, and ice conditions. Also MetOcean Data such as wind and current can be used to advantage to reduce transit distance/time (aka fuel). Weather routing for avoidance or minimization of exposure to adverse conditions and route optimization all require an understanding of vessel performance and accurate forecast MetOcean data. In this panel, three experts will discuss the considerations in route planning, vessel limits, specialized data sets via observations, and the application of numerical data to the ship route optimization and safety challenge.

Coastal Urban Environment Analysis and Modeling

Location: 218 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Proposed Topic description: 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.

In Memory of Dr. Ira Geer: The History and Future of AMS Education

Location: 350 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Dr. Ira Geer was the Founding Director of the AMS Education Program. He ran it from 1991 - 2008 while continuing as a Senior Education Fellow until his retirement in 2019. Under Ira’s leadership, the Education Program pioneered the use of real-time data in the classroom. Most programs started by Ira throughout the program’s history are still flourishing today with over 23,000 teachers graduating from various programs since they began. He also spearheaded the involvement of hundreds of minority-serving colleges and universities in AMS programs. In addition to supporting teachers, he led the creation of three AMS textbooks on the topics of meteorology, oceanography, and climate science - all of which are still in publication today. Ira brought the values of work ethic (challenging but fun and rewarding work), team collaboration, treating teachers as valued professionals, and a personal touch that are still present today.

Dr. Geer passed away in 2023. This session is to celebrate his impact and legacy on the field of Earth Science education. Talks will include:

A History of the AMS Education Program from 1991 - 2024.
Memories of Ira: Anecdotes and stories will be shared by those who knew Ira personally.
The Future of DataStreme: A description of the new model and future plans of Ira’s signature educational program
The Future of AMS textbooks: A description of the new model and future plans of the three textbooks started under Ira’s tenure
Additional talks submitted by the public on topics related to Ira’s tenure at AMS. This includes teacher professional development, introductory course undergraduate education, use of data in the classroom, and more.

We will end with a networking session for educators and staff who have known Ira over the years to reconnect. As part of that, we will start a giant Memorial Card where people can record memories and well wishes - which will be mailed to Ira’s family.

Advances in Large-scale Flood Modeling, Monitoring, Forecasting, Analysis, and Management I

Location: 209 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

The increasing magnitude and frequency of hydrometeorological extremes are exacerbating global flood risks on an unprecedented scale. Changing human-climate dynamics further presents unique challenges for scientific communities to accurately monitor, analyze, forecast, predict, and manage large-scale flood events. Accurate and timely prediction of flood hazards is pivotal for decision-makers in developing flood mitigation, climate resilience, and disaster management strategies. Recent advances in science and technology have led to the development of improved monitoring systems and predictive models that can assimilate observational data into modeling frameworks, including hybrid data-model fusion to provide improved understanding and characterization of flood risks. The evolution of remote sensing technologies and monitoring networks, in conjunction with human feedback, are advancing the predictive capabilities, but challenges remain for large-scale floods. The session invites contributions including but not limited to (1) the development of flood-monitoring, prediction, and forecasting tools (integrated atmospheric-hydrologic-hydrodynamic modeling, data assimilation, uncertainty quantification, and machine learning) and (2) lessons learned from managing big floods from scientific and societal perspectives. We welcome papers that particularly focus on large-scale flood modeling as well as continental and global-scale hydrologic forecasting systems.

Advancing Atmospheric Science Research using Global Navigation Satellite Systems Technology

Location: 222 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial 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 its high precision and capability to penetrate clouds and precipitation. As such, the expansion of commercial and government back-bone GNSS observations such as radio occultations (GNSS-RO), GNSS reflections (GNSS-R), and the expanding network of ground stations have received significant investment in past years. These various GNSS observation techniques provide high-quality globally distributed atmospheric retrievals useful in a wide variety of research. Their retrievals also greatly contribute to numerical simulation systems and corresponding data assimilation tools for accurate weather and climate prediction.

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

Neutral atmosphere research topics including planetary boundary layer (PBL), deep convection and heavy precipitation, tropopause (UTLS) thermodynamics, and tropical cyclones using GNSS applications,
Numerical weather prediction of GNSS remote sensing products for data analysis and data assimilation impacts,
State-of-the-art atmospheric retrieval algorithm developments including joint retrievals, data fusion, and machine learning/artificial intelligence, and

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

Location: 244 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial 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 return 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 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.

NOAA Hurricane Forecast Improvement Program (HFIP): Advancing Hurricane Modeling, Analysis, Forecasting, and Risk Communication for a Diverse World: Part I

Location: 343 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

NOAA’s Hurricane Forecast Improvement Program (HFIP) was created in 2009 with the vision of organizing the hurricane community to dramatically improve numerical forecast guidance to the National Hurricane Center. Since HFIP’s inception in 2009, model hurricane track and intensity forecast errors were reduced by 50% and 56%, respectively, and intensity errors during Rapidly Intensifying storms were reduced by 47%. The Hurricane Weather Research and Forecasting (HWRF) became world-class (2014).
In 2017, Congress passed the Weather Research and Forecasting Innovation Act including Section 104. Hurricane Forecast Improvement Program, instructing NOAA to maintain a project to improve hurricane forecasting to develop and extend accurate hurricane forecasts and warnings to reduce loss of life, injury, and damage to the economy, with a focus on improving the prediction of rapid intensification and track of hurricanes; improving the forecast and communication of surges from hurricanes; and incorporating risk communication research to create more effective watch and warning products. Under the updated plan, HFIP will continue to address the original goals of further reducing track and intensity forecast errors and extend forecasts out to 7 days, particularly focusing on rapid intensification guidance. In addition, the updated plan extends HFIP’s purview to improving guidance on predicting storm structure and all hurricane hazards (surge, rain, associated severe weather, gusts as well as sustained winds) at actionable lead times for emergency managers (e.g., 72 hours). Improved hazard guidance will derive from dynamical model ensembles enabling probabilistic hazard products and improved track, intensity change, and structure (radii to maximum and 35-knot winds) predictions before formation and throughout the storm’s life cycle. Using social science research, HFIP will design a more effective tropical cyclone product suite to communicate risk better and transition all current tropical hazards products. The Hurricane Analysis and Forecasting System (HAFS) was created to address these goals.

As in the past AMS R2O meetings, we expect 4-5 HFIP sessions (with 30-50 presentations/posters) dealing with numerical modeling, inner-core DA techniques, basic research of modeled TCs, understanding RI of TCs, Ensembles, probabilistic products and risk communication, especially using NOAA models: HWRF, Session Chairs: Sundararaman Gopalakrishnan (NOAA/AOML) and Aaron Poyer (NOAA/NWS)HAFS, GFS, GEFS, etc.

The Earth's Water Cycle: Variability, Changes, and Extremes I

Location: 210 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

The Earth’s water cycle, encompassing processes such as precipitation, evapotranspiration, and runoff, among others, exhibits strong variability and extremes at local, regional, and global scales. These fluctuations lead to both acute and chronic stressors for terrestrial ecosystems and for our society. To navigate towards a thriving planet and a sustainable future, this session calls for submissions on advances in characterizing, understanding, and quantifying the various components of the Earth’s water cycle across different spatiotemporal scales. We especially encourage contributions that address challenges, emerging phenomena, and knowledge gaps related to the water cycle.

Weather and the Roads

Location: 344 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Adverse weather conditions have a major impact on the safety and operation of our nation's roads, from low volume rural roads and signalized arterials to interstate highways. Weather affects driver behavior, vehicle performance, pavement friction, and roadway infrastructure. Weather events and their impacts on roads can be viewed as predictable, non-recurring incidents that affect safety, mobility and productivity. Weather affects roadway safety through increased crash risk, as well as exposure to weather-related hazards. Weather impacts roadway mobility by increasing travel time delay, reducing traffic volumes and speeds, increasing speed variance (i.e., a measure of speed uniformity), and decreasing roadway capacity (i.e., maximum rate at which vehicles can travel). Weather events influence productivity by disrupting access to road networks and increasing road operating and maintenance costs.

This session will consist of discussions on road weather technologies, infrastructure, observations, and forecasting. We invite road weather professionals and other practitioners to share best practices and lessons learned from road weather-related management strategies including:

Road Weather Technologies: systems that include road weather components.
Road Weather Infrastructure: deployed infrastructure that captures weather/road weather and infrastructure that utilizes road weather (i.e., signal systems).
Road Weather Observations: weather/road weather observations that are captured from infrastructure and how they are used for operational and maintenance activities.
Road Weather Forecasting: new innovations and best practices in road weather forecasting.

Advancements in Analysis and Prediction of Drought

Location: 221 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Drought is a multi-faceted phenomenon that challenges our current prediction capabilities, yet its environmental and economic consequences are among the most serious of all natural disasters. In the changing environment of a warming climate, drought is expected to increase in frequency, duration, and intensity at both regional and global scales, and this will result in increasing environmental security risk. Improving analysis and prediction of all drought types requires the use of multiple data sources, including in-situ and remote-sensing data, surface observations, and indicators of societal impact. Satellite hydrological variables and vegetation indices have contributed dramatically to our understanding of the mechanisms of drought occurrence and development, while facilitating the separation of the drought signal from normal hydrologic and vegetation conditions. Remotely sensed land observations are used to force or parameterize models, and the hydrological outputs provide the foundation for existing drought indicators. However, making significant improvements in monitoring and prediction will not only require advances in understanding drought mechanisms, but also of the societal impacts and how to better manage water resources. There are still many open scientific questions related to data fusion, integration of drought indicators, emerging social media data sources and the optimal combination of these data sets for providing insights to climate, environmental security, and societal changes with respect to drought events. Addressing these outstanding challenges related to drought monitoring and prediction directly aligns with this year’s AMS Meeting Theme of “Towards a Thriving Planet: Charting the Course Across Scales.”

Specific topics addressed by presenters could include, but are not limited to: current drought prediction science and skills at various lead times; advances in our understanding of the causes and characteristics of drought and impacts of land-atmosphere interactions, data analyses and numerical modeling; innovative management uses of drought science; and case studies illustrating advances in understanding, monitoring and prediction of drought and drought impacts. Further, papers identifying and/or addressing gaps and deficiencies in our current methods for predicting droughts and estimating its effects on vegetation, water and energy resources, environmental security, and the health and food security of human populations are also invited.

Cities and Climate Change I

Location: 336 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has announced the Special Report on Climate Change and Cities, set for release in early 2027, as the sole special report of the seventh assessment cycle. In response to this timely focus on the nexus of cities and climate change, this session seeks to facilitate the exchange, update, and synthesis of insights derived from innovative research and approaches in this field.

In particular, we encourage submissions on four key areas central to the discussion:

Two-Way Feedback Between Cities and Regions, and their Climates: Cities play a significant role in shaping their local and regional climates, leading to a dynamic two-way interaction that influences climate extremes and high-impact weather events.
Compounding and Cascading Climate Hazards: Urban areas face a multitude of weather-related hazards (such as cold and heat waves, storm-related surface, riverine and coastal flooding, and extreme wind events) across various scales. The frequency, intensity and impact of these events are amplified by climate change and compounded/cascade in complex urban systems.
Transparency of Model Outputs in Future Climate Scenarios: Communicating the uncertainties in global future climate projections, and their propagation to the regional and local scale analyses in cities, is essential for informed decision-making and effective adaptation strategies.
Improving Actionability of Science for Cities: Enhancing the usability of scientific findings for urban decision-making may require collaborative efforts, such as co-production or engagement initiatives, to tailor scientific advancements to the specific needs of cities. This includes addressing issues such as representing extremes, uncertainty characterization, and coordination among practitioners and scientists.

This session seeks submission within, but not limited to, these areas that explore the contribution of urban climate research to understanding the relationship between cities and climate change. Observational and/or modelling studies focusing on under-represented cities and regions are welcome.

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

Location: 213 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial 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.

Advances in Micrometeorological Measurements I

Location: 348 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Accurate measurements of trace gasses, such as nitrous oxide, methane, ammonia, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), are increasingly important for a broad range of research and operation applications ranging from determining the transport and fate of agricultural emissions to predicting the impact of a changing climate. Nonetheless, collecting in-situ measurements of trace gas fluxes via eddy covariance, relaxed eddy accumulation, and other micrometeorological approaches remains challenging. This session will assess the state of the art of trace gas flux measurements by considering both recent advances in instrumentation and post-processing methods and their practical application in the field.

Location: 219 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

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.

Mesoscale Cloud Organization

Location: 215 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Mesoscale organization of shallow and deep convection is a ubiquitous feature of cloud systems with climatic importance for modulating cloud water, precipitation, and top-of-atmosphere and surface radiation. However, our fundamental understanding of what drives pattern formation in clouds and its impact on the strength of cloud feedback and therefore climate sensitivity remains limited. This uncertainty is exacerbated by the potential effects of anthropogenic atmospheric aerosols on modulating cloud organization in conjunction with other meteorological drivers. This session invites observational, theoretical, and numerical modeling studies that expand our understanding of the interactions between cloud organization, meteorology, and aerosol, and their implications for climate. All topics related to shallow cloud organization, deep convective organization (including convective self-aggregation studies), Lagrangian and climatological transitions between shallow cloud organizational structures, and extreme events that are tied to mesoscale convective organization are welcome. We especially welcome innovative perspectives on the role of aerosols in regulating cloud organization, and the reciprocal influence of cloud organization on aerosol-cloud interactions, cloud radiative properties and cloud feedback. We encourage thought-provoking contributions and novel ideas based on satellite observations, large eddy and cloud resolving model simulations, conceptual modeling, theoretical approaches, and recent field campaigns (e.g. ACE-ENA, ACTIVATE, AEROMMA, CAMP2Ex, CAP-MBL, CAPE-k, COMBLE, CSET, EPCAPE/SCILLA, EUREC4A/ATOMIC, MAGIC, ORACLES/CLARIFY/LASIC, OTREC, RELAMPAGO-CACTI, TRACER/ESCAPE).

From Weather Research to Operations and Back Again (R2O to O2R)

Location: 354 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Research continues to steadily increase within the Weather Enterprise, as well as Aviation, Range, and Aerospace Meteorology. With this research increasingly focused on operational needs, the challenges of managing research, and transitioning the results to operations remains a considerable endeavor in cost and other resources. Especially in this dawning era of “big data” and disruptive new technologies (e.g., UAS). One of the grand challenges for these enterprises is to find which of these meaningful research results are transition-able and the ways and means to transition research results to operations and applications [R2O] using efficient and cost-effective techniques and technologies. Additionally, the often over-looked closing of the circle from Operations to Research (O2R) is crucial in focusing the needs of operational aviation, range, and aerospace users and decision makers back to drive focused research.

GPU Accelerated Computing for Weather, Water, and Climate

Location: 223 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

The use of GPUs as general purpose accelerators has continued to grow as data center class GPUs become more powerful, easier to access, and include larger available on-board storage to support larger problems. As of the latest Top500 list, 9 out of the top 10 largest supercomputers in the world now heavily depend upon GPUs for a large proportion of their maximum and peak FLOPs. It is therefore prudent that scientists and engineers developing and maintaining HPC applications continue to consider how best to utilize these accelerators and achieve maximum performance on current and future HPC systems.

This session welcomes submissions of all types exploring or currently exploiting the additional power of GPUs for weather, water, and climate applications. Example topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the benefits, drawbacks, and challenges of developing new or porting existing libraries and applications to GPUs, benchmarking new and existing applications across various vendors or generations of GPUs, profiling of applications on GPUs to realize peak performance, the adoption of performance portable frameworks and vendor-agnostic programming methods, new and innovative algorithms best suited for GPU architectures, and educational efforts to promote or expand the use of GPUs among students, faculty, or researchers at a university, laboratory, or company.

Automated Vehicles & Meteorology

Location: 344 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Weather (atmospheric conditions) and road weather (pavement conditions) can adversely affect vehicle and driver behavior. With the advent of automated vehicles (AVs), multiple entities have begun research and testing to identify how vehicles and drivers will detect and react to adverse weather and road weather conditions. AVs have sensors and perception systems to detect objects and events in their vicinity. Using this information, fully automated vehicles control the steering, speed, or both to move the vehicle along its selected path. The vehicle’s ability to properly perceive the situation and execute a maneuver can be affected by atmospheric and road weather. As more advanced automated vehicles are deployed, there becomes an even greater need to connect the vehicle and meteorology communities together to make sure solutions are identified for operational and safety activities, long-term planning, and policy making.

This session will consist of discussions on the meteorology needs for operating automated vehicles. We invite the road weather community and automated vehicle specialists to explore use cases on how road weather meteorology can support automated vehicles during adverse weather including:

Automated Vehicle Testing: results of automated vehicle testing during adverse weather and test track scenarios.
Meteorology Forecasting and Observations: available technologies and forecasts that can or could support automated vehicles (all levels).

Earth system predictability across timescales for informed decisions and societal resilience at the community level I

Location: 243 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

The impacts of extreme meteorological phenomena and climate change are increasingly felt worldwide, affecting countries, regions, communities, and individuals alike. From heat waves to floods, droughts to air quality disturbances, these events pose significant risks to food and water systems, energy availability, infrastructure stability, ecosystems, and human health. And the trajectory suggests more challenges lie ahead. At every level, from local to global, communities are grappling with the urgent need to bolster their resilience against these threats. They require actionable information and tools to navigate an increasingly unpredictable Earth system.

The scientific community plays a crucial role in this endeavor. By harnessing Earth system predictability research, scientists can provide vital insights and resources to empower communities in their resilience-building efforts. Although climate change is a global phenomenon, its impacts manifest locally. Thus, there's a pressing need for robust and localized information to help communities prepare and mitigate the worst consequences of these events.

This session seeks presentations that showcase examples of Earth system predictability research and its application at the community level. For this session we are broadly defining communities as a group of individuals who are connected by a geographical location (city, state, or region), or share a profession or experience related to an Earth system phenomena (e.g., residents who live within the same water basin, county-level emergency managers). Specifically, we invite contributions that highlight one or more of the following areas:

Application to Communities: Demonstrations of how Earth system predictability research is being utilized to assess and address risks at the local level, such as forecasts of heatwaves, droughts, and air quality disturbances in regions, cities or rural areas.
Informing Communities: Efforts to translate scientific findings about predictability into robust and accessible information, and resources for communities to better understand and respond to climate challenges.
Learning from Communities: Research and efforts that begin with and advance understanding of community needs and interests related to Earth system predictability. For example, results from studies or workshops aimed at collecting the perspectives and experiences of a community related to Earth system predictive needs.
Co-Creating Science with Communities: Collaborative initiatives that engage communities in the research process, fostering mutual learning and enabling effective adaptation and mitigation strategies grounded in scientific understanding of predictability. For example, the presentation of lessons learned or proposed frameworks for effectively engaging in co-creation.

We welcome submissions focused on the outcomes of such research, as well as the process of doing this work. By fostering dialogue and sharing practices that have proven successful in different contexts, this session aims to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and strategies for enhancing community resilience in the face of climate variability and change. Together, we can empower communities to build a more sustainable and resilient future.

NOAA's S2S Applications: Stakeholder Needs, Modeling Systems and Analysis

Location: 219 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Under the Unified Forecast System (UFS) Research to Operation Project (UFS R2O), a global coupled UFS has been built with six components of the Earth system: the FV3 dynamical core (atmosphere), MOM6 (ocean), CICE6 (sea ice), Noah-MP (land surface), GOCART (aerosols), and WW3 (ocean surface waves). The global coupled UFS is used as the basis for developing the Global Forecast System (GFS v17) for medium-range (deterministic) weather forecast up to 16 days, and the Global Ensemble Forecast System (GEFS v13) for subseasonal forecasts up to 48 days, both of which target to be implemented around FY26.
The congressional appropriation in FY23 instructed NOAA to develop a new Seasonal Forecast System (SFSv1) as a replacement of the more than decade-old Climate Forecast System version 2 (CFSv2). The SFSv1 will build upon and extend the capabilities of the subseasonal Global Ensemble Forecast System (GEFSv13). Accurate SFS prediction requires improved physical descriptions of slowly changing processes on the land, in the oceans, for sea ice, and for atmospheric composition. Data assimilation improvements are also required to improve initial states for the land, ocean and sea ice that provide the long-term memory of the Earth System.

In this session, we seek to foster enhanced collaboration among model developers, users/stakeholders and researchers for the advancement of NOAA’s S2S Applications (GEFS and SFS). We encourage abstracts on all aspects of NOAA’s S2S Applications that includes feedback and requirements of stakeholders/users, scientific advancements in the Earth system components such as MOM6, CICE6, Noah-MP, Atmospheric Compositions, advancements in infrastructure that facilitate R2O and O2R, process-level understanding of model errors, verification and validation metrics, and common errors in North American Multi-Model Ensemble (NMME) forecast systems. Use of AI methods to diagnose model errors and to improve modeling systems are also encouraged.

Formation and Impacts of Aerosols and CCN: Experiment, Observation, and Modeling I

Location: 215 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Atmospheric aerosols have masked a large but highly uncertain fraction of global warming through their direct effect of scattering incoming solar radiation and indirect effect of serving as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). The poorly understood interactions between aerosols and clouds are a major uncertainty in the total anthropogenic forcing, which directly translates into a wide range in the projected warming. Therefore, an accurate representation of aerosols and clouds is the foundation of any attempt to predict long-term climate change or to assess the impact of climate intervention technologies.

In this session, we welcome presentations covering all aspects of laboratory experiments, field observations, and modeling research on the chemical and physical processes that govern aerosol and CCN formation and the associated climate impacts. 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 aerosols and CCN; (3) regional and global modeling of preindustrial and present-day aerosol and CCN distributions; (4) model validation and climate assessment for climate intervention technologies (e.g., stratospheric aerosol injection and marine cloud brightening) by studying natural analogs; (5) the role of convective cloud processing (e.g., cloud chemistry, glaciation, and detrainment) in aerosol and CCN formation, and (6) the effect of aerosol morphology and phase state on cloud formation and cloud properties.

From helicopter science to meaningful partnerships - Avoiding scientific neo-colonialist practices in international collaborations

Location: La Nouvelle AB (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Neo-colonial research or neo-colonial science is also described as helicopter research or parachute science. It describes a practice in which researchers visit a location, collect data or samples, travel home to do analyses, and publish results, all without involving local scientists, experts or communities, or having any further communication with them.

“As described by scientists who have been subjected to the practice, it occurs when foreign researchers swoop in, disregard people with on-ground experience and give little to no credit to local collaborators on published works. When the visitors depart, they are likely to take data with them, and perhaps biological samples, as well as career prospects denied to local researchers.“ (Watson, C. 2021)

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.

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. For example, globally 40 % of papers about a specific volcano do not include an author whose affiliation is based in the country where the volcano is located, while 56 % are led by authors not based in the country of the volcano (Lerner et. al, 2023).

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:

Examples of neocolonialism practices and their impact
Positive examples of authentic research partnerships
Changes in research, funding, education & training, science communication, and publishing practices that can address helicopter science

Benchmarking and Performance Analysis on High Performance Computing Systems

Location: 223 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)

Many application codes running on high performance computing platforms are characterized by their high resource use (nodes, storage, I/O) and their often long run-times. This resource usage leads to high cost, especially when those resources are based in the cloud. Therefore it is important to use the resources efficiently - both to reduce costs and to deliver timely results. Also, application performance is dependent on effective selection and configuration of HPC platforms that suit the application. All of these considerations make it important to have tools and techniques to measure and analyze performance of HPC applications and platforms. This session invites papers on all aspects of this topic, including benchmark suites, tools for performance analysis, performance analysis and benchmarking case studies, and use of these tools and techniques to select HPC platforms and to optimize applications.
