[RegCNET] Reminder: Deadline for Fall AGU abstracts is 06 September

[Raymond Arritt]

Dear colleagues,

This is a reminder that the deadline for submitting abstracts to the AGU 
Fall Meeting is fast approaching.  Abstracts are due not later than 2359 
UTC on 6 September 2007. This is a strict deadline and the AGU will not 
accept late abstracts.

Please consider presenting your results in session GC17 entitled 
"Regional Climate Modeling." There is a great range of interesting 
projects in RegCNet and we encourage you to present your results in the 
session. (The session description is appended at the end of this 
message.) The web page for the session is:
http://www.agu.org/meetings/fm07/?content=search&show=detail&sessid=27

Let us know if you have questions.  We look forward to seeing you in San 
Francisco!

With best regards,
Ray Arritt
(for the conveners:  Ray Arritt, Ruby Leung and Linda Mearns)



GC17: 	Regional Climate Modeling

Description: 	Regional climate models (RCMs) have become standard tools 
for studying climate processes on small scales and for dynamically 
downscaling global climate model (GCM) simulations to finer spatial 
resolution. This session will provide an overview of the current state 
of the art in regional climate modeling, including both limited-area and 
global time slice models, and will summarize outstanding issues in the 
development and application of RCMs. Contributions are solicited on 
topics including but not limited to RCM model development; RCM 
intercomparison projects; design of RCM experiments for climate impacts 
and process studies; effects of resolution and physical 
parameterizations on RCM accuracy; RCM performance when applied to 
different climate regimes; and diagnostic studies to understand and 
address RCM model biases.
