Dear RegCNET friends,

We encourage you to present your research in session A057, "Regional Climate Modeling" to be held at the Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union, 9-13 December 2013 in San Francisco, California, USA.  The session description is copied at the end of this email.  The web page for the session is https://fallmeeting.agu.org/2013/scientific-program/session-search/sessions/a057-regional-climate-modeling-2/

The abstract deadline is 6 August 2013 at 23:59 U.S. Eastern Daylight Time (in UTC this is 7 August at 03:59).  Important:  Please be aware that AGU is very strict about deadlines and they will not accept late abstracts under ANY circumstances!   We urge you to submit your abstract a few days early as the AGU system sometimes becomes overloaded near the deadline.

Discounted registration rates are available for travelers from certain low income and lower-middle income economies.  Please see details at http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2013/travel-housing/registration-rates/

Limited travel support is available for students and early-career scientists.  Please see http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2013/people/students/student-travel-grants-and-scholarships/

Please let us know if you have any questions.  We look forward to meeting you in San Francisco!

Regards,

A057. Regional climate modeling

This session will survey the current state of the art in regional climate modeling on seasonal to centennial time scales. Topics include new developments such as modeling earth system processes at regional scales; human influences such as land use, aerosol effects, and greenhouse gas effects; novel approaches for model verification and evaluation; process studies using regional climate models; ensemble methods and uncertainty analyses; and development 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 (including CORDEX), and applications of regional climate projections for economic, social, or policy considerations.
