> Dear Colleagues:
> 
> A year from tomorrow, the 9th International Symposium on Tropospheric Profiling (ISTP9) will take place in L'Aquila (Italy) from 3-7 September 2012. 
> 
> ISTP brings together an international group of scientists, engineers, and program managers focusing on atmospheric measurement and modeling. A limited number of invited keynote presentations will set the stage for identifying the state of the art and discussing future directions of research and technology development.
> 
> ISTP9 will be hosted by the Center of Excellence for the forecast of severe weather (CETEMPS) at the University of L'Aquila Auditorium. 
> 
> Please, mark ISTP9 dates on your 2012 calendar!
