This is the 3rd announcement for the 3rd International Workshop on Stratospheric Sulfur and its Role in Climate (SSiRC). The workshop will be held at the University of Leeds in the Liberty Building (School of Law) from 30th March to 1st April 2020.
The meeting’s focus will be on observations and modelling of the stratospheric aerosol layer and its sources and, particularly, to understand volcanic impacts on stratospheric composition and climate. Other related research topics are welcome particularly those associated with recent volcanic activity (e.g., Raikoke) and the scientific response to them, recent field campaigns (e.g. StratoClim, AToM, ASPEN), community modelling activities (e.g. ISA-MIP, VolMIP and GeoMIP) and related science programs (e.g. OCTAV-UTLS, CCMI, PAGES, VICS).
The web site for abstract submission and registration is open. There is some travel support available for early career scientists and scientists from developing countries. Directions on how to apply for travel support is also on the web site. The web site is found here:

The 3rd DLR conference on Climate Change (CCC 2020) will take place at the Flora in Cologne, Am Botanischen Garten 1a 50735 Cologne/ Germany on 28-30 April 2020. We are looking forward to welcome you in Cologne in April 2020!
A short overview of the topics for CCC 2020 – Climate Research in the light of the Paris Agreement in collaboration with the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) is given below.
Understanding Climate Change is the most important scientific as well as social challenge of this century. Climate Change is a change on a systems level. To combat Climate Change clearly needs Earth Observation and Remote Sensing via satellites. Issues of aviation, transport, energy management and artificial intelligence are strongly needed either. All of these research fields are tackled by the German Aerospace Center.
This time we will be concentrating on developing ideas for specific steps to take concerning mitigation and adapting climate change influences. Again, prominent international scientists, space agencies and interested parties together with representation from the United Nations such as UNOOSA, UNSPIDER, UNFCCC, WMO and GCOS will be joining force to exchange ideas and intensify our joint knowledge of the effects of climate change. The aim is to provide a concrete basis for the implementation of suitable counter measures which can be adopted by governmental and non-governmental entities.

Call for nominations for the Steering Committees of emerging GAW Initiatives
The Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) Programme of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) through its Implementation plan for 2016-2023 embarked on the development of new environmental products and services for the user community. These are to be implemented through the translational scientific initiatives, namely the Integrated Global Greenhouse Gas Information System, IG3IS (ig3is.wmo.int), Global Air Quality Forecasting and Information System (GAFIS) and Measurement-Model Fusion for Global Total Atmospheric Deposition (MMF-GTAD).
The Environmental Pollution and Atmospheric Chemistry Scientific Steering Committee (EPAC-SSC) that coordinates the work of GAW, is seeking nominations for the Steering Committees of the above mentioned initiatives to guide and facilitate their scientific and technical implementation. Please find a short description of each initiative below.
The Steering Committees of each individual initiative (one team per initiative) shall contain regional representation and reflect diversity in gender and other aspects. With this announcement, EPAC-SSC encourages scientists to apply for the 15 seats on the individual Steering Committees, with rotating membership terms of 2 or 4 years. All members will be selected through this call. Members who contributed earlier to the initiatives are encouraged to apply. Nominees are expected to devote sufficient time and effort to allow for regular participation at the initiative’s events and shall actively engage in the development and promotion of GAW activities. They can be at different stages of their scientific career but must have peer-reviewed publication records, demonstrating expertise in the realm, relevant to the particular initiative. Specializations of the Nominee’s research or operational activity should be related to one or more of the following: atmospheric chemistry, greenhouse gases, forecasting, inverse modelling, data assimilation, air quality and health, atmospheric deposition, food security, climate, data analysis. Self-nominations must be made by 29 February following the template below. If you are interested in nominating an individual (other than yourself) please use the same template.
The nomination form is available here.
Please direct any questions to the EPAC-SSC Chair Prof Greg Carmichael.
The Tropospheric Ozone Assessment Report (TOAR: http://www.igacproject.org/activities/TOAR) is a current IGAC activity with a mission to provide the research community with an up-to-date scientific assessment of tropospheric ozone's global distribution and trends from the surface to the tropopause.
Guided by this mission, TOAR has two goals:
- Produce the first tropospheric ozone assessment report using all available surface observations and based on the peer-reviewed literature and new analyses.
- Generate easily accessible, documented data on ozone exposure and dose metrics at hundreds of measurement sites around the world (urban and non-urban), freely accessible for research on the global-scale impact of ozone on climate, human health and crop/ecosystem productivity.
One more TOAR paper has become available for open comment on February 12 2020:
Tropospheric Ozone Assessment Report: Critical review of changes in the tropospheric ozone burden and budget from 1960-2100

ECS opportunity: 2020 IGAC Early Career Short Cource
Since 2016, IGAC has hosted an Early Career Short Course (ECSC), which is an intensive three-day course, prior to the IGAC Science Conference. The Short Course brings together some of the most promising early career atmospheric scientists from across the globe in order to cultivate and educate the next generation of leading atmospheric scientists. The Short Course aims to build on the strong scientific education and research early career scientists receive during their Ph.D.s and post-docs by introducing complex ideas, concepts, and skills that will allow these early career scientist to become successful established scientist and contribute to the international community and to a sustainable planet.
The 2020 IGAC Early Career Short Course will take place the three days prior (11-13 September 2020) to the 16th IGAC Science Conference in Manchester, UK. A select group of 40 future leaders in atmospheric chemistry will attend the early career short course. The scope and design of the short course is being determined by an organizing committee comprised of early career scientists from around the world.
More information about the 2020 IGAC ECSC and prior short courses.
Applications to the 2020 IGAC Early Career Short Course will be accepted until 23:59 MST (GMT -6) on Friday 27 March 2020
If you have any questions regarding the short course, please send an email to info@igacproject.org.
