Dear RegCNET friends,
This is a last minute reminder that the deadline for submitting
abstracts to the AGU Fall Meeting special session A41 on "Regional
Climate Modeling" is today, specifically 5 August 2011 at
03:59 UTC (afternoon or evening of 4 August in the
Western Hemisphere). Again, please keep in mind that AGU is
very strict about deadlines.
The session description is at http://sites.agu.org/fallmeeting/scientific-program/session-search/73
and instructions on abstract submission are given at http://sites.agu.org/fallmeeting/scientific-program/submit-policies/
As always please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.
Ruby and I look forward to seeing you in San Francisco.
Regards,
Ray Arritt
(for the conveners)
The session description follows:
A41: Regional Climate Modeling
Conveners:
Raymond Arritt, rwarritt@bruce.agron.iastate.edu
Lai-Yung (Ruby) Leung, ruby.leung@pnl.gov
Description: This session will survey the current state of the art
in regional climate modeling on seasonal to centennial time scales.
The session will include new developments such as modeling earth
system processes at the regional scale; human influences such as
land use, aerosol effects, and greenhouse gas effects; process
studies using regional climate models; ensemble methods and
uncertainty analyses; and development and comparison of dynamical
cores and physics parameterizations. Contributions also are
solicited on topics such as regional downscaling of IPCC climate
change scenarios, coordinated regional modeling projects (e.g.,
CORDEX, ENSEMBLES and NARCCAP among others), and applications of
regional climate projections for economic, social, or policy
considerations.
