7th LAKES Workshop
Dal 20/11/2024 ore 10.00 al 22/11/2024 ore 17.00
Milan Territorial Research Area 1 (AdRMi1), Via Alfonso Corti, 12 - 20133 Milan.
Registrations and abstract submissions for the 7th LAKES Workshop are officially open: the event, organized by the Institute for electromagnetic sensing of the environment (Cnr-Irea), will be held in Milan (Italy) from November 20 to 22, 2024.
The forthcoming Workshop on the "Parameterization of Lakes in Numerical Weather Prediction and Climate Modelling" is aimed at exploring the interactions between inland water bodies, such as lakes and reservoirs, and the atmosphere above, in order to improve the coupling between these two key components of the hydrological cycle.
The Workshop, organized over three days with plenary oral and poster sessions, aims to bring together scientists working on various aspects of the lake-atmosphere feedbacks and the interaction of lakes with regional and global climate.
The main focus is on the parameterization of lakes in numerical weather prediction (NWP) and climate models. The Workshop is also open to the participation of researchers from neighboring disciplines such as physical limnology, inland water remote sensing, atmospheric physics and hydrology.
The Milan LAKES 2024 Workshop will address the following topics:
- Lakes & atmospheric modeling: lake-atmosphere interactions, processes in fresh-water bodies linked to atmospheric forcing, and coupling between lake and atmosphere models.
- Model validation & intercomparison: validation of atmospheric models that incorporate lake parameterization and lake data assimilation schemes, as well as validation of lake models one-way coupled to (forced by) the atmosphere.
- Ancillary data for modeling lakes: use of external datasets available at local to global scale to assist the generation/quality of external-parameter fields required by lake parameterization schemes in atmospheric models, e.g. fields of lake depth and lake fraction.
- New frontiers for data assimilation from remote sensing: information on snow, ice, water temperature and water transparency on lakes, reservoirs, and other water bodies from remote sensing to study lake changes and their interaction with regional and global climate.
The Milan Workshop continues from the lake-parameterization workshop series that started in Zelenogorsk (Russia, 2008) and was followed by Workshops held in Norrköping (Sweden, 2010), Helsinki (Finland, 2012), Évora (Portugal, 2015), Berlin (Germany, 2017), and Toulouse (France, 2019).
