The First U.S.-China Symposium on Meteorology: Mesoscale Meteorology and Data Assimilation will take place February 26-28 in Norman Oklahoma at the National Weather Center. The goals of the symposium are to define the state of knowledge in the two countries for mesoscale meteorology and data assimilation, and to identify the most important challenges for the next decade.
The Symposium will be organized into six half-day sessions, each of which will deal with one of the following themes:
- Observations of Mesoscale Phenomena
- Theory of Mesoscale Phenomena
- Data Assimilation Techniques and Mesoscale Applications
- Simulation of Mesoscale Phenomena
- Forecasting of Mesoscale Phenomena
- Connections between Mesoscale Phenomena, Regional Climate, and Larger-Scale Circulation.
The deadline for abstracts is October 1, 2007. Notification of acceptance and assignment to poster or oral sessions will occur by November 1, 2007. For more information, see the symposium website.
