The 6th General Assembly of SPARC (Stratosphere-Troposphere Processes And their Role in Climate), a core project of the World Climate Research Programme, will bring together a large community of scientists from around the world.
General Assemblies are opportunities for SPARC to take stock of what has been achieved, where gaps in the portfolio of research undertaken by SPARC need to be filled, and to define where SPARC needs to be moving to remain responsive to the needs of both its members and the users of SPARC research products.
Founded in 1992, SPARC has coordinated high-level research activities related to understanding Earth system processes for over two decades. More specifically, SPARC promotes and facilitates cutting-edge international research activities on how chemical and physical processes in the atmosphere interact with climate and climate change. Research is largely bottom-up driven and contributes significantly to international assessments, such as the assessments of ozone depletion by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and UN Environment (UNEP), as well as the climate assessments of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
Themes of the General Assembly 2018
- Connections of Atmospheric Composition and Chemistry to Weather and Climate
- Climate Prediction from Weeks to Decades
- Role of Atmospheric Dynamics for Climate Variability and Change
- Atmospheric Impacts and Interactions Related to Tropical Processes
- Advances in Observation and Reanalysis Datasets
- SPARC Science for Society
