[ESIP-all] Fwd: 20th Annual Climate Prediction Applications Science Workshop (CPASW) 2023

[Yuhan Douglas Rao]

Dear colleagues,

NOAA’s National Weather Service Climate Services Branch, National Centers
for Environmental Information (NCEI), North Carolina Institute for Climate
Studies (NCICS), and other partnering climate services groups are hosting
the 20th Annual Climate Prediction Applications Science Workshop at
Asheville, NC between May 9–11, 2023. This year's theme has strong emphasis
on creating linkage with social, behavioral, and economic sciences and
leveraging emerging technologies (e.g., cloud, AI) to improve data and
products for climate services. Please consider submitting an abstract to
the workshop if you are interested in participating.

Wish you all a happy and restful holiday break!

-Douglas

*Integrated theme: *Understanding Socio-economic Value of Climate Data,
Prediction, Information, and Services

The 20th Annual Climate Prediction Applications Science Workshop (CPASW)
will bring together a diverse community to share developments in research
and application of weather and climate information for societal
decision-making. Participants will include researchers, service producers,
resource managers, planners, practitioners, social scientists, and others
making weather and climate-sensitive decisions. NOAA’s National Weather
Service Climate Services Branch, National Centers for Environmental
Information (NCEI), North Carolina Institute for Climate Studies (NCICS),
and many other climate services partners are collaborating in the
organization of the 2023 CPASW.

The Workshop will address the following Focus Areas:

   - *Linking Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBES) to Climate
   Services*
      - Products and Tools (GIS, surveys, etc.)
      - Analysis, findings, and recommendations including methods for
      adding economic value to climate products
      - Applications of SBES
         - Service equity
         - Subseasonal to seasonal (S2S) decisions
      - Climate change planning and risk mitigation
      - Climate information services for infrastructure
   - *Improving Data, Prediction, and Attribution to Understand and
   Communicate the Risk of Extreme Events and Response Strategies*
      - Impact on economy and risk management of changing nature of extreme
      events
      - Data to decisions, including datasets and database quality control
      and management  (applying data to facilitate improved decision making
      decisions)
      - Applications of modern technologies
      - Cloud utilities (e.g., NODD - NOAA Open Data Dissemination, LCAT -
         Local Climate Analysis Tool, etc)
         - AI-driven decision-making tools

Weather, water, and climate extremes are a unifying issue across all of
these focus areas contributing to significant impacts on the economy and
society. Applications of climate information at various timescales,
including sub-seasonal to seasonal and beyond, help inform preparedness
activities for disruptive events and long-term changes, supporting
resilient communities and their economies. Infusing social, behavioral, and
economical sciences will provide better guidance for applications of
climate science for provision of the most impactful services for society.
For this year’s theme, we especially invite participants in the areas of
social science, climate extension and communication, climate-informed
decision making, and developers/providers that specialize in decision
support.

We invite abstracts for workshop presentations that address the use of
and/or opportunities for climate data and products including monitoring,
predictions, and projections in any of the focus areas listed above. We
also encourage abstracts highlighting best practices in the areas of
climate services communication and outreach, integration of social and
economic sciences, decision support tools, and preparedness methods to
advance adaptation and mitigation efforts. The workshop will also include
special discussions related to sector-specific applications, water and
environmental issues, and international aspects.

*A**bstract submission deadline *is* January 13, 2023.* The meeting format
will include a combination of symposia, panel sessions, discussions, and
keynote speakers that address the workshop theme and focus areas. CLICK HERE
