Dear all,

Attached below is the first announcement of the next CFMIP
meeting, which was initially planned for June but was finally
moved to September 2017. Please mark your calendars, and
we'll let you know when the registration page is ready
(tentatively scheduled for 1 February, 2017).

2017 CFMIP Meeting on Clouds, Precipitation, 
Circulation, and Climate Sensitivity 

The CFMIP Meeting on Clouds, Precipitation, Circulation, and
Climate Sensitivity will be held on 25-28 September 2017 at 
the University of Tokyo main campus, Tokyo, Japan. This meeting
is a continuation of the CFMIP/WCRP/ICTP conference in Trieste
and will focus on the theme of the WCRP Grand Challenge on 
Clouds, Circulation and Climate Sensitivity, in addition to
addressing other CFMIP science issues and ongoing activities.

The four-day conference will contain oral and poster sessions on:

- Modeling and observational constraints on cloud feedbacks, 
  adjustments and climate sensitivity, including the role of moist 
  convection in cloud feedbacks
- Cloud/circulation/precipitation coupling and its variability in
  present and future climates, including hydrological extremes and 
  ITCZ and storm track changes.
- Process based evaluation of clouds and cloud controlling factors
  in climate models using fine scale models and observations, 
  including satellite simulators.
- How the interactions between clouds, greenhouse gases and aerosols
  affect temperature and precipitation in a changing climate?
- How will the organization of cloud systems interact with climate change?
- Coordination of CFMIP and Grand Challenge activities with CMIP6.
- Early outputs from analyses of the CMIP6/CFMIP3 experiments. 

The registration and abstract submission will start on 1 February, 2017.
