Advancing Understanding of Urgent Gaps and Needs in Atmospheric Science: Key Insights from the Climate, Weather, and Water Forum.

The Climate, Weather, and Water Forum held in Hong Kong in June 2023 brought together participants from around the world to address climate change, extreme weather events, and water sustainability. The forum focused on deepening understanding of Earth science, examining the impacts of climate change, and exploring technological advances in modeling and observations. Key scientific findings were discussed, including the need for more accurate modeling using artificial intelligence and machine learning. Factors such as soil moisture, snow cover, stratosphere-troposphere interaction, and ocean conditions were identified as important in improving weather forecasts. The integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning technology has shown promise in bridging the gap in weather prediction, and interdisciplinary collaboration and the utilization of observational data were emphasized. The forum highlighted the importance of communication and collaboration between scientists and stakeholders in applying scientific knowledge to practical solutions. [Extracted from the article]
