Open Call for Membership of the CliC Scientific Steering Group

23 January 2023

Stratosphere-troposphere Processes And their Role in Climate

The WCRP Climate and Cryosphere (CliC) Core project is launching an open call for nominations to its Scientific Steering Group (SSG). We seek nominations (including self-nominations) from scientists active in cryosphere-related research, both in the natural and social sciences, including those studying the interaction of ecosystems, fisheries and communities with the one or more cryosphere components.  

  • To apply, fill in the on-line form not later than 31 March 2023
  • Read the call text here

Please direct inquiries about the call and selection process to CliC co-chairs Amy Lovecraft (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) and Edward Hanna (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.)

Open call for ESMO Scientific Steering Group membership

17 January 2023

The WCRP Earth System Modelling and Observations (ESMO) Core Project coordinates, advances, and facilitates all modelling, data assimilation and observational activities within WCRP, working jointly with all other WCRP projects and providing strategic connections to related external programs. It follows a seamless and value chain approach across all Earth system components, disciplines, and scales. The modelling and observational activities under ESMO are central to the provision of science-based climate information to support adaptation planning and decision-making, local and regional climate impact assessments, and national and international mitigation and adaptation policies. ESMO was officially launched by the WCRP Joint Scientific Committee in November 2020.

This call invites the community to nominate candidates (including self-nomination) to become members of the ESMO Scientific Steering Group (SSG).

If you are interested in joining the SSG, please submit your application via the online form by 10 March 2023.

Please direct inquiries about the nomination and selection process to Nico Caltabiano (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) at the WCRP Secretariat.

Call for proposals to host the International Project Office of the Stratosphere-troposphere Processes And their Role in Climate (SPARC) Core Project

15 January 2023

Stratosphere-troposphere Processes And their Role in Climate

WCRP is delighted to open a call for proposals to host a dedicated project office in support to one of WCRP’s core projects: the Stratosphere-troposphere Processes And their Role in Climate (SPARC).

SPARC is the focal point for climate science related to the atmosphere within WCRP. Atmospheric and climate sciences are increasingly a focus of decision-making across policy, research, and industry, and of wide interest to the general public. In its 30-year (1992-2022) history, SPARC’s activities have generated a wealth of cutting-edge research and valuable datasets. SPARC has a major role in key international scientific assessment reports, including the WMO/UNEP Ozone Assessment Reports which are requested by the Parties of the Montreal Protocol and its Amendments. SPARC is moving forward with an ambitious new strategic plan from 2023, which will further advance those achievements by taking a leadership role at the forefront of international atmospheric science research. All SPARC efforts are part of WCRP’s activities and embedded in its overarching WCRP Science and Implementation Plan.

The Host Institution will significantly benefit from hosting the SPARC IPO by having a close interaction with this critical domain of research. It will serve as a great opportunity for the host to help deliver the exciting new goals of SPARC to the international community.

  • To download the call, click here.
  • The deadline for proposals is 15 April 2023.

All communication, material and enquiries regarding this call shall be directed in English to Hindumathi Palanisamy (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) the WCRP Secretariat.

Call deadline extended for new CMIP7 Data Access Task Team!

11 January 2023

The demand for and interest in CMIP data is growing rapidly with users coming from an increasingly diverse range of backgrounds beyond the climate research community including climate services, impact modelling, regional and local policy/decision makers and indigenous communities from across the globe. This task team will seek to smooth the path between the conception of experiments and the use of the resulting data. We are looking for a diverse and multidisciplinary team of 8-12 experts representing the range of CMIP-like data providers, data users, and infrastructure providers. We are especially keen to ensure representation from all global regions and across career stages and have therefore extended the call deadline to promote wider participation.

Find out more here where the call text can be downloaded for further information on the aims and objectives of the Task Team, and the relevant point of contact. Applications should be submitted via this form by Monday 23rd January 2023 and if you have any questions please contact This email address is being protected from spambots.
