Organized convective systems are often responsible for high impact precipitation extremes, and changes in convective organization have the potential to amplify or dampen future climate change. The conference follows the previous iterations of this meeting (held online, in Utrecht and Trieste), with the goal of examining our understanding of cloud organization in models and observations.

The meeting’s central themes are:

  • Extreme precipitation from organized convection
  • Convective organization over land
  • Organization of convection in global km-scale models
  • Artificial intelligence applied to convective organization
  • Cold-pool driven convective organization
  • Shallow and congestus convective organization (over ocean and land)
  • Convective organization’s feedback on climate change
  • Convective organization and tropical waves
 
Research abstracts: In the application form, all applicants are requested to submit a brief research abstract for a poster presentation and/or contributed talk.
