We are hosting the Beijing node of the Digital Earths Global Hackathon.

During this event, we will utilize one year of integration results from global atmospheric general circulation models with a horizontal discretization of 5 km or less, including CAS-ESM2.0,as well as other models .(You can click this link to view more models: https://digital-earths-global-hackathon.github.io/)

Please join us for a week of hacking, finding bugs, fixing bugs, and a lot of fun from May 12th to 16th, 2025, in Beijing, China.

After the event, you can also apply to participate in the Summer School on "Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics" in May 18th to 24th. The theme of the Summer School is: Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics: Integrating Programming and Machine Learning for Future Challenges. For more information about the Summer School, please click here.

If you would like to attend the hackathon and summer school, please register here:

Registration page:(until April 15, 2025). After the registration has been confirmed, we will request the payment of the participation fee (150 €/¥1200).

Participation fees will include: venue fee, meals.

The Hackathon is hosted at the Miyun Campus of the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The hackathon will run from Monday noon to Friday noon. A detailed schedule is linked here.

Participants will engage in collaborative efforts within international topical groups, with their foci centered on:

1.High-resolution numerical simulation of the 2020 Asian monsoon seasonal progression.

Convener: Chaofan Li, Boqi Liu, Ke Xu

2.How do km-scale convection permtting models simulate the extreme Meiyu rainfall in 2020 associated with East Asian summer monsoon?

Convener: Wenxia Zhang, Xiaolong Chen

3.Kilometer-Scale Convection-Permitting Modeling of Compound Heat and Drought Events.

Convener: Lixia Zhang, Qin Su, Xiaojing Yu

4. Consecutive Northward-Moving Typhoons Impacting Northeast China: Numerical Model Reproducibility and Underlying Mechanisms of Anomalous Behaviors.

Convener: Shenming Fu, Zhongfeng Xu

5.Modulation of multiscale waves on tropical cyclogenesis over the western North Pacific.

Convener: Guanghua Chen, Huangfu Jingliang, Yulian Tang

6.Modeling the climate over the Pan-Third Pole region using kilometer-scale climate models.

Convener: Liwei Zou

7.Characteristics of MCS precipitation，convection and vortex under mid-latitude quasi-stationary fronts (i.e., the Mei-yu front) over the complex topographical regions.

Convener: Yuanchun Zhang, Puxi Li

8.Propagation of the MJO convection and its impacts on extreme events.

Convener: Guiwan Chen, Zhangqun Li

9.Land-atmosphere interactions and extreme events.

Convener: Chenglai Wu, Yong Wang, Xianghui Kong, Zuowei Xie

Moreover, a plethora of additional scientific issues are anticipated.

We will pre - prepare the simulation data (with the data analysis time span from 1st March 2020 to 28th February 2021), establish the analysis environment, and arrange relevant training activities.

Participants registering for the conference are required to bring their personal laptops to the event.

We offer travel support for a limited number of participants. If you wish to apply, please select the travel support option in the registration form. Approved applicants will be notified separately.

To facilitate your participation in the hackathon, we will make unified accommodation arrangements for participants at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences(UCAS)International Conference Center.The venue is approximately 30 minutes away from the hotel.

During the conference, we will deploy dedicated vehicles to provide unified transportation services. These vehicles will operate strictly in accordance with the established schedule, responsible for shuttling participants to and from the UCAS International Conference Center and the venue.

If you have other accommodation needs, you can also reserve other hotels near the venue on your own. However, it should be noted that we will not be able to provide transportation services for accommodation in hotels not arranged by the event. We appreciate your understanding.
