Meetings of Interest

The American Association for Aerosol Research (AAAR) is a nonprofit professional organization for scientists and engineers who wish to promote and communicate technical advances in the field of aerosol research.

Details are to come on the AAAR Annual Conference. It will be held in Portland, Oregon at the Portland Convention Center, October 2 to 6, 2023.

AeroCom is an open international initiative of scientists interested in the advancement of the understanding of global aerosol properties and aerosol impacts on climate, weather, and air quality. A central goal is to more strongly tie and constrain modeling efforts to observational data from satellite, ground-based, and aircraft observations. Major elements for exchanges between data and modeling groups are annual meetings of AeroCom together with the satellite-data-oriented initiative AeroSAT. The AeroCom/AeroSAT Conference 2023 will be held in Richland, Washington, with virtual components.

The major objectives of the meeting are to:

• discuss outcomes of Phase III AeroCom model experiments
• review challenges for global aerosol modeling
• formulate new modeling and analysis activities
• discuss near-term goals and direction
• discuss strengths and limitations of aerosol satellite retrievals.

For more than 100 years AGU has been opening science—opening pathways to discovery, opening greater awareness to address climate change, opening greater collaborations to lead to solutions and opening the fields and professions of science to a whole new age of justice equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging.

This year, as we convene >25,000 attendees from 100+ countries in San Francisco for AGU23, our theme is: Wide. Open. Science. 2023 might be the official year of Open Science but we also see it as an opportunity to affirm AGU’s overarching values and beliefs.  It is message for all of us to carry as we come together to share, inspire, collaborate, engage and most of all rededicate ourselves as a united community grounded in wide open science.

Bringing together Arctic and Antarctic scientific communities to elucidate the asymmetries in the polar responses to anthropogenic climate change and identify actions to reduce projection uncertainties.

January 17-19, 2024 in Boulder, CO and virtual

The aim of the Polar Amplification of Climate Change Across Hemisphere and Seasons: Causes and Constraints Workshop is to bring together researchers studying Arctic and Antarctic climate change from observational and modeling perspectives (ranging from paleoclimate to climate change projections) to cross-pollinate and forge new collaborations that accelerate our understanding of polar amplification.

The objectives of the workshop are to:

1. identify knowledge gaps and deficiencies in model diagnostics that limit our understanding of climate change in both polar regions;

2. prioritize these knowledge gaps as areas for future research;

3. identify strategies, tactics, and data needs (e.g., process studies, collaborative modeling activities, satellite missions) to address the identified knowledge gaps;

4. identify candidate observational emergent constraints on key polar amplification  processes; and

5. identify steps for enhancing community collaboration.

The AMS Annual Meeting is the world’s largest yearly gathering for the weather, water, and climate community. It brings together great minds from a diverse set of scientific disciplines—helping attendees make careerlong professional contacts and lifelong friends while learning form the top people in atmospheric sciences.

The AMS Committee on Tropical Meteorology and Tropical Cyclones serves as an authority on tropical meteorology and tropical cyclones for the Society and is the communication channel for the Society with the national and international organizations for tropical meteorological and related activities. The general functions of the committee are to stimulate research activities in problems of the tropical atmosphere and its relationships to other parts of the atmosphere-ocean-earth system represented by other committees, to encourage the exchange of ideas and information, and to promote the application of acquired knowledge to operational problems related to the Tropics.

Please consider submitting an abstract to the session on Modeling and Parameterization of Moist Convection Across Scales. Abstracts are due November 29, 2023.
