The Program Committee will invite key specialists to make invited presentations (30 min.) on new results and the most promising directions of research development at the plenary section. Preliminary regulations of oral reports - 15 min. The status of the announced report is determined by the Program Committee. Reports of graduate and undergraduate students, as a rule, will be presented in the form of short oral reports (5 min.). Extended materials of short oral presentations will be discussed at the poster sections.

Presentations are invited on the development of Earth system model components, in particular models of processes in the atmosphere, ocean, near-surface and active land layer (including the development of dynamical blocks), representation of uncertainties in observational data and models, and information systems, databases and machine learning in Earth science problems. The Program Committee also welcomes papers on regional interdisciplinary applications covered by the Future  Earth Programme and the Northern Eurasia Future Initiative.

Publications

A competition named after V.N. Lykosov, an outstanding Soviet and Russian scientist in the field of mathematical modeling of geophysical processes, corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, will be held within the framework of the Conference. The competition is held between young scientists who have presented in person in the nominations “the best oral report” and “the best poster report”. When evaluating the reports, the scientific level, the degree of completion of the work and the correspondence of the topic to the scientific interests of V.N. Lykosov are taken into account. According to the results of the competition, the materials of the winners' reports will be recommended for submission to the leading national journals: “Meteorology and Hydrology”, “Hydrometeorological research and forecasts”, “Numerical Methods and Programming”, Russian Journal of Numerical Analysis and Mathematical Modeling.

The abstracts of the papers presented at the conference will be published in the Collection of Conference Abstracts as an electronic resource and presented on the event website.

Presentations of the papers will be published on the conference website with the permission of the authors.

Format of the school and conference

The school will be held in face-to-face format, some of the lectures will be presented to the audience via videoconferencing.

The conference is planned to be face-to-face; online presentations are possible as an individual exception at the discretion of the program committee.

The working languages of the CITES conference are Russian and English.

CITES-2025 events will be held in Moscow: the conference - in the building of the Presidium of RAS, school - in INM RAS.

Main topic of the school: «Atmospheric circulation: hydrodynamic modeling and artificial intelligence».

Leading experts in this field (Academician V.A. Semenov, Prof. A.A. Baklanov, Dr. I.V. Oseledets and others) will give invited lectures, which will provide young scientists with an up-to-date overview, allowing them to focus their professional attention on solving the most demanded and promising research and applied problems.

Practical sessions of the school will be held at INM RAS. The topics will be considered:

Reproduction of atmospheric processes by a non-hydrostatic model with a simplified parameterization block: numerical and physical aspects (Ph.D. V.V. Shashkin, G.S. Goiman)

Machine Learning Methods for Object Identification and Time Series Forecasting in Computational Geophysics Problems (Dr. M.A. Krinitsky, Ph.D. R.Yu. Fadeev).

Selected presentations of the school students with the results of practical assignments will be presented at the sections of the conference.
