6th Gravity Wave Workshop Prague
Welcome to the 6th Gravity Wave Workshop in Prague, Czech Republic 24–26 AUG 2026
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.
