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.
