Dear RegCNET friends,

We encourage you to present your research in the session "Regional Climate Modeling" to be held at the Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU).   In past years this session has had a strong turnout, making it an excellent opportunity to learn about new developments in regional climate modeling and to present your work.

The AGU Fall Meeting will be held 10-14 December 2018 in Washington, DC, USA.  This differs from the usual San Francisco location because of construction at the San Francisco meeting venue.

The abstract deadline is Wednesday, 1 August 2018 at 23:59 U.S. Eastern Daylight Time (corresponding UTC is 2 August at 03:59). Please be aware that AGU is very strict about deadlines and will not accept late abstracts under ANY circumstances!  We recommend that you submit your abstract at least a day ahead of the deadline since the AGU system sometimes becomes overloaded on the deadline day.

The web page for the session is https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm18/prelim.cgi/Session/50391 and the session description appears at the end of this message.

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

Wit best regards,

Ray Arritt

A089: Regional Climate Modeling

Session Description:

This session focuses on the state of the art in regional climate modeling on seasonal to centennial time scales. Contributions are solicited on coordinated experiments that focus on regional and high resolution global modeling such as CORDEX; novel approaches for model evaluation, especially process-oriented model verification and diagnosis of climate extremes; new developments such as coupled earth system modeling at regional scales and convection-permitting simulations; ensemble methods and uncertainty analyses; and assessing the added value of regional modeling. Results from use of regional models for process understanding and downscaling of IPCC climate change scenarios are also encouraged.
