We would like to inform you that abstract submission deadline is on <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1277139873" tabindex="0">19 January 2018</span>.<br class="">
<br class="">
We very strongly encourage you to submit an abstract for an ORAL and/or a poster presentation in Atmospheric Sciences(AS) section, in the AS16 Session on "Exploration and Science of the Earth’s Lower and Middle Atmosphere: Past, Present and Future Perspectives”<br class="">
<br class="">Details of this session are enclosed below.</div><div class=""><br class="">

Its proper exploration with view to<br class="">understand complexity of the processes, which are taking place all the<br class="">time, is very much needed. The study of the atmosphere is not only to see<br class="">their effects on the weather and climate but also to have a better<br class="">understanding regarding changes in the different regions and coupling<br class="">among them. This session will focus on the concepts of interdisciplinary<br class="">and general studies of lower and middle atmosphere and coupling<br class="">(dynamical, radiative and chemical) between them. Session will focus on<br class="">study of the atmosphere, coupling process, atmospheric dynamics,<br class="">variations in atmospheric constituents and layers. Issues and studies<br class="">based on the dynamics of atmospheric boundary layer will also play an<br class="">important role in this session. The Earth’s lower-middle atmospheric<br class="">exploration tools and technique including instrument development for<br class="">ground base studies and on-board deployment for space born observations,<br class="">will also be covered in this session. Studies based on development of<br class="">various remote sensing instruments and challenges involved in bringing up<br class="">instruments will also be part of this session. Scientific works based on<br class="">the modelling activities of the Earth’s atmosphere and its comparison with<br class="">ground-based (Lidar, Radar, Photometers, Spectrometers, etc.,) and<br class="">satellite observations will also be involved. Session will include studies<br class="">on atmospheric dynamics, cloud characteristics, Aerosols, newer<br class="">instruments and techniques developments. This session will also involve<br class="">the studies based on computer simulations using different atmospheric<br class="">regional as well as global models such as, weather research forecast (WRF)<br class="">and numerical weather forecast (NWP), Global Forecast System (GFS), etc.,<br class="">to demonstrate and unravel complex atmospheric processes. Techno-science<br class="">driven studies and learning techniques (a mix of science and technology)<br class="">on above mentioned themes will also be included.<br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div></body></html>
