Welcome to the 5th Gravity Wave Workshop in Prague, Czech Republic 10–11 JULY 2025

Unresolved processes in climate models present a major source of uncertainty in future climate projections. This workshop will get together experts on GW dynamics, observations, modelling and climate effects to discuss recent developments and frame future research avenues.
