Two CORDEX workshops will be held on different sides of the world in 14-16 May

On the 14-16 of May two workshops are planned within the CORDEX domains.

The CARE for SEA megacities: Training Workshop will be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Following the inception workshop and stakeholder consultation in Bangkok, Thailand last
November 2023, a three-day training workshop on empirical statistical downscaling (ESD) and
urban climate downscaling will be held. The training workshop is primarily for members of the CARE for SEA
megacities project team, who will be conducting the urban downscaling simulations.

The workshop aims:

  • to introduce city-scale urban modeling approaches, including empirical statistical
    downscaling (ESD), Land Surface Physics-Based Downscaling (LSP-DS), and Weather
    Research and Forecast-Urban (WRF-Urban);
  • to build capacity of CARE for SEA megacities research team in applying different
    downscaling methods, in preparation for the generating city-scale climate change
    projections for SEA megacities;
  • to discuss city-scale resolution downscaling framework for SEA, including protocol for
    ESD simulations, specifically for CORDEX-SEA.

On the other side of the world the 8th Med-CORDEX International workshop will be held in Rome, Italy.

The main goal of the workshop is to foster scientific exchanges among the Mediterranean regional climate
modelling community and to configure the near-future of Med-CORDEX in the global context of climate research.

The participants are invited to present their works on the following topics:

  • First results based on the Med-CORDEX-CMIP6 baseline run
  • New advances in regional climate modelling
  • Climate impacts
  • Impacts on the coastal zones and coastal cities
  • Ocean biogeochemistry at climate scales
