Meetings of Interest

The 2020 American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting will be mostly virtual this year. According to AGU, if science and health professionals indicate it is safe for groups to convene, AGU will host a regional gathering in San Francisco. Depending on where you’re located (and if it’s safe), you can create your own mini-#AGU20 watch party or hub.

With more than 1,000 sessions as well as hours of networking and poster hall time, all of them will be scheduled to work for multiple time zones around the world. Content will also be live and on-demand so you can watch (or binge) at your convenience.

Fall Meeting sessions will include:

• COVID-19, from lessons learned in Earth and space sciences to ideas for what to do to advance research when one can’t be in the field or in the lab.
• actions the Earth and space sciences should take to remove discrimination and eliminate racism to improve diversity and inclusion.
• how to better communicate your science to policymakers, reporters, voters and other key audiences.

Sessions for the 2021 American Meteorological Society (AMS) Annual Meeting are being announced. If you will be leading a session relevant to the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility or Atmospheric System Research (ASR), please let us know. We are collecting this information to be shared on the ARM and ASR websites as it is provided.

Abstracts can be submitted until the extended deadline of August 31, 2020, for the 101st AMS Annual Meeting, which is scheduled for January 10 to 14, 2021. All oral and poster sessions, panel discussions, and exhibits are moving to a virtual format. In addition, AMS is considering a smaller, in-person gathering in New Orleans, Louisiana, if circumstances allow.

The AMS meeting includes a number of interesting conferences and symposia organized by ARM/ASR researchers or relevant to ARM/ASR themes. They cover various session topics in atmospheric chemistry, aerosols, clouds, and precipitation as well as topics related to measurements and data analysis.

Due to COVID-19, the International Cloud Modeling Workshop in Pune, India is rescheduled for July 2021.

Note: The dates and venue information listed here are placeholders and will be later confirmed. In the meantime, visit the workshop website for news and updates.

About this event: International Cloud Modelling Workshops are traditionally held every four years, in the temporal and spatial vicinity of the ICCP. The emphasis is on cloud microphysics (weather modification background). Specific cases are selected and run before the workshop and results are discussed at the workshop. A report from the workshop is typically presented at the ICCP.

Planned workshop cases include:

• PI Chamber Simulation Case: Modeling Aerosol-Cloud-turbulence Interactions in the Cloud Chamber
• Aerosol effect in deep convective clouds under different monsoon environments over the Indian peninsula: a CAIPEEX-Case study
• Isolated cumulus congestus based on SCMS campaign: comparison between Eulerian bin and Lagrangian particle-based microphysics
• Convection in Strong Vertical Wind Shear: The 2 Aug COPE Case
