"Land-climate interactions play a key role in the climate system. The land’s role in the climate system – its impact on atmospheric means
and variability across a broad range of timescales, ranging from hours to centuries, for past, present, and future climates – has been the
subject of much recent exploratory research. The meteorological, hydrological, biophysical, biogeochemical, ecosystem processes and the
boundary-layer processes that underlie the connections between climate and soil moisture, soil temperature, vegetation, snow, and frozen
soil, however, are not yet fully understood. The scarcity of relevant observations, the complexity of the underlying processes and
feedbacks, and the wide range of scales involved make the necessary investigations challenging. This session focuses on (1) interfaces
between climate, ecosystems, and the land branches of the energy, water, and carbon cycles and the impact of land processes on climate
variability and change as well as on extreme events (such as droughts and flooding); (2) dynamic, physical, and biogeochemical mechanisms by
which the land surface (e.g., soil moisture and temperature, albedo, snow, frozen soil, vegetation) influences atmospheric processes and
climate; (3) predictability associated with land-surface/atmosphere/ocean interaction and land initialization; (4)
impacts of land-cover and land use change on climate; (5) land-climate interactions in the context of climate variability and change, and (6)
application and analyses of large scale field data and observational networks (such as FLUXNET) for land/atmosphere studies. We welcome
papers addressing any of these topics. Please submit your abstract by August 1, 2013 to the AMS 94th Annual Meeting."

While climate variability and change are largely governed by global phenomena adaptation to climate phenomena is primarily a regional and local problem. Regional climate models (RCMs) play an important role in downscaling global climate model information to the regional and local scale - at which local stakeholders and decision makers operate. In this session, we solicit talks related to the development and application of RCMs. We welcome talks focusing on diagnosis and evaluation of RCMs with in situ and remote sensing observations, improved physical parameterizations, and the relationship between large-scale climate variability and change with local phenomena. Application of RCMs to hydrological, ecological, agricultural and water resources management problems, including the prediction of hydrologic extremes, are also welcome.

Speaker:
Everyday news from many corners of the world point to more loss of life and significant direct and indirect economic losses caused by the disasters related to weather-, water- and climate-related hazards. Building resilience to disasters and protecting critical infrastructure (e.g., transportation, health, water management, energy, agriculture and food security, etc) are at the core of priorities of international cooperation in disaster risk reduction, facilitated through the adoption of Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015 (HFA) by 168 countries at the second World Conference on Disaster Reduction (2005, Kobe, Japan). HFA has resulted in a paradigm shift from post disaster response to a comprehensive approach that would also include prevention and preparedness measures. HFA has facilitated unprecedented international cooperation among international development, humanitarian and scientific and technical agencies to assist Member States with a coordinated approach to build resilience to disasters. Furthermore, under the UNFCCC international agreements and related Damage and Loss Programme as well as the Global Framework for Climate Services, critical developments are underway to facilitate provision of science-based climate services to support risk-informed decision-making. Effective inter- and intra-sectoral risk reduction measures should be -informed, be underpinned by clear and consistent policies, legislation and legal frameworks at all levels of government and leverage partnerships (public and private). This workshop will explore opportunities of the weather and climate services to support risk analysis and provide fundamental information as input to policy development and risk-based decision-making tools, used by practitioners to reduce impacts and develop resilience of built environment to extreme events.

Drought is a multi-faceted phenomenon that challenges our current prediction capabilities. Taking drought prediction and hydrological applications to the next level requires advances in understanding, monitoring, communications and water resources management. Specific topics addressed by presenters might include:
• Current prediction science and skill at various lead times;
• Innovative management uses of that science;
• Case studies illustrating advances in understanding, monitoring and prediction
