The 5th workshop on “Parameterization of Lakes in Numerical Weather Prediction and Climate Modelling” will be held on 16-19 October 2015 in Berlin, Germany. The aim of the workshop is to discuss and develop the methods of handling lakes in the numerical weather prediction (NWP) and climate models. The workshop is intended to bring together specialists in several geophysical disciplines - climate research, boundary-layer meteorology, limnology, biogeochemistry, cryosphere research - focusing on lake-related processes. As an outcome a significant advance is expected in our understanding of the role played by lake systems in the atmosphere-hydrosphere interaction. The core of the workshop team is built by researchers from European institutions, while the forthcoming event should extend its international value by involving into discussion research teams from other regions, in particular, North America and China, where lake studies in the general context of climate change have recently received growing attention. Series of publications are planned on results of the event, continuing the thematic cluster of Tellus A 'Parameterization of lakes in numerical weather prediction and climate models'. Attention is to be paid to the prognostic parametrisations, assimilation of lake observations, description of lake physiographic properties in the models. Lakes are inherent features of the landscape. They affect significantly the heat, momentum, and mass transfer between the land and the atmosphere. The recent increase of the spatial resolution of the land-atmosphere models made adequate modeling of lake internal processes to an actual issue in numerical weather prediction and regional climate modeling. Parameterization of air-lake interaction is especially relevant to climate studies in lake-rich regions, considered as hot spots of the global response to the atmospheric warming, among them the arctic tundra, temperate regions of Fennoscandia, Canada, and Plateau of Tibet. Apart from the regional climate research, modeling of mass transport in lakes is highly relevant to studies on the global carbon cycle, in particular, the contribution of lakes into the carbon dioxide and methane production. The workshop will be the 5th in the series of events held since 2008 on biennial scale. The previous workshops in St-Petersburg, Norrköping, Helsinki, and Evora resulted in a significant advance in implementation of lakes in NWP and climate models on operational level. The 2017 workshop is expected to extend its scope on implementation of lakes in carbon cycle models, modeling the lake-permafrost interaction, and internal biochemical processes in lakes.
