Open call for new panel members to join ESMO Working Group on Numerical Experimentation (WGNE)

07 October 2026

ESMO WGNE Call

The WCRP Eath System Modelling and Observations (ESMO) Core Project is launching an open call for new panel members to join the Working Group on Numerical Experimentation (WGNE). 

This is a great opportunity to join this group of experts and help advance numerical experimentation and the development, evaluation and improvement of Earth system models for weather, climate, water and environmental prediction across timescales. Current areas of interest include numerical methods, dynamics and physical parameterisations and their coupling; coupled Earth-system processes; systematic-error diagnostics; high-resolution and km-scale modelling; ensembles and uncertainty; AI/ML and hybrid models; model verification; and computational scalability. WGNE reports to the ESMO SSG as well as the Research Board of WMO, and has interactions with several ESMO, WCRP, and WMO bodies.

Applications can be made through this form. For more details, please take a look at the full call. Deadline for applications is 31 October, 2026.
