Upcoming Global Precipitation EXperiment (GPEX) Events 2026 – Japan

As the year draws to a close, the GPEX community is gearing up for several exciting in-person events in Kyoto, Japan, leading up to GPEX 2026. From 5–6 March 2026, the GPEX Multistakeholder Workshop will bring together scientists and partners to share early findings, strengthen collaborations, and advance global precipitation research. This will be followed by the GPEX Steering Committee (SSG) Meeting on 7–8 March 2026, where strategic directions and future priorities will be discussed. In addition, a GPEX side event – “Making Precipitation Count” at the CMIP Community Workshop 2026 (date to be confirmed) will further highlight the importance of coordinated global efforts under the WCRP Years of Precipitation (YoP) initiative. Together, these gatherings will help shape the next phase of innovation, collaboration, and impact in global precipitation science.
