HyMeX was approved as a new Regional Hydroclimate Project (RHP) of the new GHP at the August 2010 Pan-GEWEX and SSG Meetings, Seattle 14.9.2010
At the SSG Meeting following the Pan-GEWEX event in Seattle in August, the SSG also followed up on the recommendation from CEOP to approve a new RHP called the HYdrological cycle in the Mediterranean Experiment (HyMeX), focused on the 20 countries around the Mediterranean Sea and the fresh water and salinity of the Sea itself.

Formation of a new GEWEX Hydroclimatology Panel in place of CEOP and other outcomes and prospects from the August 2010 Pan-GEWEX and SSG Meetings, Seattle 14.9.2010
The Second Pan-GEWEX Science Meeting took place at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington, USA, from Monday 23rd through Friday 27th August 2010. The working groups
and panels within GEWEX met together and exchanged views while interacting to formulate future plans. A set of decisions and recommendations resulted from the SSG deliberations that
followed the Pan-GEWEX meeting on 27 and 28 August. These included a formation of a new GEWEX Hydroclimatology Panel (GHP: note the name vs the earlier GEWEX Hydrometeorology Panel)
to replace CEOP, effective immediately. Accordingly the new name and acronym of the panel should always be used when referring to former CEOP and its activities (possible reference is:
GHP, formerly CEOP). Preliminary summary of the outcomes and prospects from the meetings has been provided by Kevin Trenberth, SSG Chair and is
available here.
The material presented at the Pan-GEWEX meeting has been uploaded to the meeting website.

The 2nd Pan-GEWEX Science Meeting in Seattle, USA, 23 - 27 August 2010. 24.5.2010
The Second Pan-GEWEX Science Meeting will take place at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington, USA, from Monday 23rd through Friday 27th August 2010. The meeting will bring together the project and working group members of the three GEWEX Panels [GEWEX Radiation Panel (GRP), GEWEX Modelling and Prediction Panel (GMPP), Coordinated Energy and Water Cycle Observations Project (CEOP)] to develop and discuss a plan for GEWEX science post 2013. The Pan-GEWEX meeting will address how the GEWEX panels and their projects and working groups will continue to work over the next 2 years to achieve their short-term goals, and how they will evolve to accomplish post 2013 Imperatives. This process will include determining what enabling infrastructure is necessary and developing a strategy for dealing with the GEWEX and WCRP cross cutting or overarching themes. Further program and logistics information can be found at the 2nd Pan-GEWEX meeting website.

Obituary Notice. 30.06.2008
▪ Dr. JOHN OWEN ROADS ▪
20 January 1950 - 21 June 2008
John Roads, Research Professor at the University of California, San Diego, Scripps Institute of Oceanography (SIO), Co-Chair of the GEWEX Coordinated Energy and Water Cycle Observations Project (CEOP), and former Chair of the GEWEX Hydrometeorology Panel, died on Saturday, 21 June, following a 2-year battle with leukemia.
John’s passing marks the loss of not just a leading climate scientist but also of a dear friend and colleague who had a special gift for reaching out to other disciplines, individuals and students to convey his vision and achieve success. His drive and commitment to the goals and objectives he helped define for GEWEX and CEOP remained strong up to the point where he was physically unable to continue his work. We are fortunate to have known John and will miss him deeply.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to a trust fund be established in John's name, which will enable SIO graduate students to attend climate science conferences. Donations should be made out to "UC Regents" and should reference the "John Roads Memorial Scholarship fund". They can be sent directly to: Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego 9500 Gilman Dr., # 0210 La Jolla, CA 92093-0210.

The CEOP/GEWEX Extremes Specific Workshop, Vancouver, Canada, 21 - 3 May 2008. 19.05.2008
The CEOP/GEWEX Extremes Specific Workshop is held in Vancouver, Canada, from 21 - 3 May 2008. The main objective of the workshop is to move forward with the CEOP/GEWEX Extremes effort as a contribution to WCRP and other programs concerned with extremes. Extremes is a major issue within CEOP, GEWEX and WCRP as well as within other efforts. Numerous activities are being carried out but there is a need for greater coordination and a collective effort. This workshop will move this ahead with the principal focus being on GEWEX and CEOP but with consideration of Extremes research in other elements of WCRP as well as within other programs. The expected outcome is an overall assessment of current Extremes research and related studies and an improved research plan, including interactions with others, to realize the Extremes study objectives.

The first Multi-model Analysis for CEOP (MAC) Dataset completed and available. 19.05.2008
The CEOP Global Model Studies team announces public availability of the MAC dataset. The MAC comprises 6-hourly global gridded model data on a common grid (1.25 deg lon. by 1.25 deg lat.) with common variables names for 8 (eight) models as currently available from the MPI Model and Data group for the EOP-3/4 period from Oct 2002 to Dec 2004. The data is also available in daily and monthly averages. Included are the ensemble mean and standard deviation along with the date from the individual models. 48 surface and upper-air variables are included within the MAC. The data is available in both NetCDF and GRIB1 formats, along with associated GrADS control files. The dataset is described in this document and the variable availability for each model center is listed in the accompanying spreadsheet. The spreadsheet will open in OpenOffice, if Excel is not available. The data itself is currently available from a (temporary) public ftp site: ftp://agdisc.gsfc.nasa.gov/private/ceop/. It will eventually have a permanent home at the NASA/GSFC GESDISC (Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center).

The 1st Joint AWCI/APN Scoping Workshop and the 2nd GEOSS Asia Pacific Symposium, Tokyo, Japan, 14 - 17 April 2008. 19.05.2008
The 1st Joint GEOSS Asian Water Cycle Initiative (AWCI)/Asian Pacific Network for Climate Change Research (APN) Scoping Workshop was held in conjunction with the 2nd GEOSS Asian Pacific Symposium: The role of Earth observations in tackling climate change, in Tokyo, Japan from 14 - 17 April 2008. The objective of the GEOSS AWCI/APN Scoping workshop was to discuss coordination and alignment of climate and water-related activities currently being undertaken by APN and AWCI as well as to discuss and plan potential future activities between APN and AWCI, which are to be co-funded or separately funded by both sides and are related, but not limited, to GEOSS activities to better inform decision-makers. The workshop outcomes contribute to the forming of a Memorandum of Understanding between APN and AWCI.
