The Scientific Committee invites the submission of abstracts on the following four themes (other relevant papers may also be considered):
- How do global climate observations support climate policies? This may include examples of how observations are used for adaptation and how well climate data records support adaptation and mitigation.
- How well do current Climate Observations support the understanding of climate change and variability? Papers can consider how current climate data records limit our understanding of the climate cycles and how and where does available data limit modelling capacity and reanalysis (e.g. what additional information might CMIP-7 models need)? Issues about accuracy and consistency may also be addressed.
- Networks and systems – what improvements are needed to better meet user needs? For example, topics may include new and developing technologies and approaches to observations, increasing coverage, temporal and spatial resolution and latency as well as the challenges and benefits in integrating networks. Approaches to improving the observing system such as targeted field campaigns may also be included here.
- Data processing, archiving and Stewardship. Includes, but is not limited to, issues such as the values and challenges of free and open data; the data stewardship required; and the Implications of the use of commercial data. Papers may also address new approaches such as cloud computing, big data, machine learning, new methods to make better use of data and integrate multiple observations into a climate data record.
Conference format
- As the conference will have to be online, there will be a maximum of 8 minutes for the presentation of selected papers (plus 2 min for Q&A). Each session which will last 2-3 hour and will include a discussion period at the end. Presentations will be recorded and made available online so that for participants from around the world.
- There will also be some invited presentations.
- There will also be an online poster session for which contributors will be asked to provide a short video introduction to each poster.
- The conference language is English.
Proceedings
Conference proceedings containing all the presentation and poster abstracts will be published.
