[Wrf-users] Call for papers at AMS 2013 - Regional Climate Modeling - local scale climate variability and changes

[Om tripathi]

Hi,

We are organizing a session on "Regional Climate Modeling to Improve 
Climate Variability and Change Projections at the Local Scale  " for the 
AMS 2013 Fall Meeting to be held in Austin, TX Jan 6-10, 2013. We invite 
you to consider submitting an abstract for oral/poster presentation for 
this session. We look forward to see you at Austin.

Session Abstract

While climate variability and change are largely governed by global 
phenomena adaptation to climate phenomena is primarily a regional and 
local problem. Regional climate models (RCMs) play an important role in 
downscaling global climate model information to the regional and local 
scale - at which local stakeholders and decision makers operate.  In 
this session, we solicit talks related to the development and 
application of RCMs. We welcome talks focusing on diagnosis and 
evaluation of RCMs with in situ and remote sensing observations, 
improved physical parameterizations, and the relationship between 
large-scale climate variability and change with local phenomena. 
Application of RCMs to hydrological, ecological, agricultural and water 
resources management problems, including the prediction of hydrologic 
extremes, are also welcome.
