Observations give us evidence of what is happening, and science helps us understand how we got here. Technology is available to address the problem, and the investments needed to transform human activities are manageable. Yet, why have we not taken impactful actions? Why do governments keep talking about future goals, while they fail to put in place policies that can trigger immediate and effective actions? In this talk, I will discuss these aspects and how we can motivate a radical transformation. Bert Bolin Climate Science Seminar 2020 Title: Uncertainty estimation in weather and climate Time & place: May 11 at 10:00 -11:00, Zoom webinar, link will be provided at bolin.su.se. Please register> One of the major advances in weather prediction of the past three decades has been the provision of reliable uncertainty estimations. This has been achieved by shifting from issuing a single to an ensemble of forecasts. This paradigm shift allows us not only to forecast the most likely future state, but also to have reliable estimates of its accuracy, for example expressed in terms of a range of possible future scenario, or in probabilities. Similarly, today we have ensembles of analyses and reanalyses, that allows us to estimate the full probability distribution function of current and past states. In this talk, I will review how we developed the earlier ensembles, and the key characteristics of today's operational ensembles. I will also discuss how work is progressing towards the development of more reliable, coupled Earth-system ensembles of data assimilations and forecasts, which should help us to further advance forecast skill.

Thank you, Shridhar Best regards Anna-Maria Hämta Outlook för iOS ________________________________ Från: Shridhar Jawak > Skickat: Friday, April 17, 2020 1:26:13 PM Till: Anna-Maria Perttu > Kopia: Veijo Pohjola >; Paul.Zieger at aces.su.se >; Radovan.Krejci at aces.su.se > Ämne: Exclusive offer for SIOS members: Training course on terrestrial remote sensing (31st August to 4th Sept. 2020), Longyearbyen. Dear Anna-Maria Perttu, I hope you are good! Greetings from the home office! SIOS-KC is happy to announce that there will be a training course on how to effectively use remote sensing data acquired from satellites, from the air or from the ground, and their associated tools and software in the context of terrestrial research in Svalbard. The course is intended for field scientists, Ph.D. students and technicians with no or little experience with remote sensing techniques. The training will be delivered by remote sensing experts from SIOS member institutions, international teachers and potential virtual talks from experts. This course is an exclusive offer for employees and students from SIOS member or observer institutions and we would like to ask you to share and promote it internally in your institution! For this purpose, we prepared attached poster in addition to the information on our web portal: https://sios-svalbard.org/News_20200407. Course participants can apply for partial support for travel and accommodation (actual costs up to 5 000 NOK/participant from European/Nordic SIOS member institutions and up to 10 000 NOK/participant from Asian SIOS member institutions). Application deadline is on the 7th May 2020. Each member and observer institution has one place guaranteed - provided an application is received. If no application from a SIOS member or observer institution is received, the allocated place is forfeit and may be allocated to an applicant from another institution. If an institution wishes to rank its internal applicants in order of priority it may do so. In this case SIOS-KC will follow this ranking. Otherwise ranking will be made on the basis of the quality/relevance of the application of the participant. Note: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the dates of training course are not set in stone. If the pandemic is still a risk factor, the course will be delayed towards the end of September, postponed to 2021 or offered as a remote class instead of in-person. Please let me know if you need any further information. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We also would like to remind you of our other open initiatives: * Deadline for SIOS's Announcement of Opportunity (AO) in Airborne Remote Sensing is approaching. Please motivate scientists from your institute to submit proposals to avail the hyperspectral data and aerial imagery for your research in Svalbard. More information: https://sios-svalbard.org/News_20200320 * SIOS Webinar Series: SIOS Remote Sensing Working Group (RSWG) has initiated a monthly webinar series 'An anchor point to a drifting world'. The second webinar in our series will be hosted on 24th April during 12:45 to 15:00 Hrs CET. More information is available on https://sios-svalbard.org/News_20200416a * Patch up your field data gaps with remote sensing: Currently, field work activities in Svalbard are in jeopardy because of travel restrictions in Svalbard due to the global pandemic of COVID-19. If you think remote sensing data may be used to fill your data gaps, please fill in our webform so that SIOS RSWG can come up with possible solutions. More information is available on https://sios-svalbard.org/News_20200324a * Logistics Sharing Notice Board: SIOS has launched a new service to allow an overview over our members' planned fieldwork in Svalbard with the possibility to offer or request spare capacity. In the light of the current travel restrictions due to Covid-19, this tool also can connect researchers that are able to carry out work in Svalbard and those that have work that they are not able to do. By working together, we can maintain the important time-series! https://sios-svalbard.org/logistic-notice-board * SIOS Online Conference on Earth Observation/Remote sensing/Geoinformation will be organized in the first week of June 2020. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Have a good weekend!

We welcome research projects with a budget up to 100,000 SEK. Projects that propose longer-term commitments (e.g. to establish time-series of measurements), with the total sum distributed over several years will also be considered. Applications for launching new initiatives ("seed money") with synergies to ongoing research or new collaborations between units in the Bolin Centre are encouraged. We will not prioritize applications for travel to conferences or similar. We particularly encourage projects relevant to the RA4 flagship area "Matching bottom-up and top-down approaches for scaling greenhouse gas balances". Current estimates of global biogeochemical budgets suffer from poor convergence of top-down versus bottom-up scaling approaches. Scientific challenges include poor coverage of greenhouse gas measuring stations as well as poorly constrained estimates of the extent and dynamics of important natural or managed greenhouse gas sources and sinks, such as wetlands, permafrost, agricultural land, coastlines and coastal oceans. Under this broader topic, RA4 proposes to support projects which estimate temporal and spatial variability of greenhouse gas exchange or carbon balances in aquatic and terrestrial environments. Submit an application via email to gustaf.hugelius at natgeo.su.se and volker.bruchert at geo.su.se. The application should be 1-2 pages and include these headings: Summary and research questions, Background, Method, Synergies to ongoing research and Budget. Include a short CV for the main applicant.
