The four-day meeting will feature oral and poster sessions on the following topics. Contributions may include perspectives from observations, models spanning a range of resolutions and complexities, and theoretical frameworks:
Forcing, Feedbacks, and Climate Sensitivity
Earth’s Energy Imbalance
Convective Processes and Convective Organization
Micro- to Meso-scale Cloud Processes
Coupling of Clouds with Atmospheric and Oceanic Circulation
Hydrological Cycle and Regional Precipitation
In particular, we welcome studies that address the four key knowledge gaps targeted by the CFMIP4 experiments:
What are the physical mechanisms underlying cloud feedbacks and adjustments in nature, and how credibly do models represent these?
How and why do cloud feedbacks and adjustments depend on climate base state and on the nature of the climate forcing?
What coupled processes underlie the SST pattern effect, and how does this affect cloud feedback?
What are the mechanisms underlying cloud–circulation coupling and regional precipitation change, and how credibly do models represent these?
Please use this google form to submit your abstract for the meeting (DEADLINE: June 5th, 2026).
A registration fee will be collected during meeting registration in August.
All up-to-date information will be available on the conference website.
Looking forward to science with you in Taipei!
