Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy’s ARM Program, NASA, NOAA, and the World Climate Research Program and Meteo France, the 4th PAN-GCSS meeting will be held June 2-6, 2008, at Meteo-France, in Toulouse, France. The GEWEX Cloud System Study (GCSS) investigates cloud systems, their role in the climate system and their representation in models with a view to improving our capability to predict weather and climate using state-of the-art modeling and data assimilation systems. GCSS will hold a meeting to review and discuss “Advances in Modeling and observing Clouds and Convection.” Key areas to be discussed at this meeting are:
- New observations and recent field campaigns
- Tropical Convection
- High Resolution Modeling on Large Domains
- Cloud Climate Feedbacks
A list of confirmed keynote speakers and additional info can be found at The 4th PAN-GCSS meeting website. Contributions to the meeting are sought in these key areas as well as in all other areas of cloud research.
