This topic will be used for announcements to the Atmosphere Working Group by the leadership team.
We will announce meetings, workshops and events through this topic. There will **not** be an email list. You need to **[watch this topic](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/t/forum-user-guide/95#topic-notifications-20) to receive new announcements via email notifications**.
This [youtube video](https://youtu.be/13sgFeSccm0) explains how to watch a topic on the ACCESS-Hive Forum.
To avoid individuals accidentally spamming the whole group, this topic is closed and only the leadership team will be able to post replies. If you have questions check if the question has already been asked in the [Atmosphere Category](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/c/atmosphere/7), and if not [open a topic on the forum](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/docs?topic=276) or reply to the [Atmosphere Working Group description topic](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/t/atmosphere-community-working-group/565).

## Self-nominations for the ACCESS-NRI Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC)
The ACCESS-NRI Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) is changing the way it operates, and we are now inviting self-nominations for new members. We encourage applications from across the ACCESS Community. We are seeking a diverse committee that includes representatives from each of the ACCESS Community Working Groups, as well as members from different career stages and areas of research, technical or infrastructure expertise.
To apply and for more information go to: [Self-nominations for the ACCESS-NRI Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC)](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/t/self-nominations-for-the-access-nri-scientific-advisory-committee-sac/5783)
We are also seeking your **recommendations for potential international members** to join our SAC. Please send their details (name, organisation and email and a brief rationale for why you’re recommending them) to [access.nri@anu.edu.au](mailto:access.nri@anu.edu.au).

7. **Inferring long-term cloud responses to warming from their short-term variability** _Qinggang Gao, Yi Huang_ (10mins)
A key challenge in climate science remains reducing uncertainties in the estimates of equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS), typically quantified as the increase in global mean surface air temperature at an equilibrium state after doubling CO2 concentrations. CMIP6 simulations show a wide spread of ECS estimates, with several models exceeding 5 K, which was not observed in earlier CMIP studies. Climate models based on the latest UKMO UM are among the ‘hot’ models with large ECS. Radiative forcings and feedbacks in these models have been investigated, and the large ECS was partly attributed to large positive midlatitude cloud feedback. Recent studies suggest that long-term cloud responses to warming can be inferred from their diurnal cycle and seasonal variations. This work investigates cloud responses to environmental condition changes at diurnal, seasonal, and interannual time scales and their link to longer-term cloud feedback. Qinggang will show results from new ACCESS-AM3 N96 simulations (1982-2012) with the ISCCP and CALIPSO satellite simulators. An SST+4K simulation is run in addition to the control simulation to investigate cloud responses to large-scale forcings.
8. **Next Atmosphere WG meeting:** _April 2026_

Hi,
A reminder that the first period for community input on the ACCESS‑NRI Work Plan for FY26–27 is now open and will close on **Monday, 16 March**. If you haven’t already, please take a moment to share your feedback, through [this form](https://forms.office.com/r/y8d8LSY1Vi)—your insights are essential to shaping the upcoming work plan.
We welcome all input, big or small, new ideas or projects already discussed, ideas on model development, usability, release, accessibility, evaluation, tools, etc.
You can find [more information](https://forum.access-hive.org.au/t/community-input-invited-access-nri-annual-work-plan-fy2026-27/5859) on the ACCESS-Hive forum.

8. **Inferring long-term cloud responses to warming from their short-term variability** _Qinggang Gao, Yi Huang_ (10mins)
A key challenge in climate science remains reducing uncertainties in the estimates of equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS), typically quantified as the increase in global mean surface air temperature at an equilibrium state after doubling CO2 concentrations. CMIP6 simulations show a wide spread of ECS estimates, with several models exceeding 5 K, which was not observed in earlier CMIP studies. Climate models based on the latest UKMO UM are among the ‘hot’ models with large ECS. Radiative forcings and feedbacks in these models have been investigated, and the large ECS was partly attributed to large positive midlatitude cloud feedback. Recent studies suggest that long-term cloud responses to warming can be inferred from their diurnal cycle and seasonal variations. This work investigates cloud responses to environmental condition changes at diurnal, seasonal, and interannual time scales and their link to longer-term cloud feedback. Qinggang will show results from new ACCESS-AM3 N96 simulations (1982-2012) with the ISCCP and CALIPSO satellite simulators. An SST+4K simulation is run in addition to the control simulation to investigate cloud responses to large-scale forcings.
