[Wrf-users] Announcement of First CORDEX-WRF Workshop and WRF4G hands-on tutorial and Call for Papers

[jpdiaz at ull.es]

Dear colleagues,



We would like to bring to your attention the “First CORDEX-WRF  
Workshop and CORWES/WRF4G
hands-on Tutorial” to be held from October 1st to 5th at University of  
La Laguna, Canary
Islands, Spain. All the information can be accessed at:  
http://corwes.webs.ull.es/workshop


The main goal of the workshop is to bring together scientists using  
the WRF model in the
CORDEX initiative or, more generally, using it as a dynamical  
downscaling tool in climate
modeling.

The objective is to produce a rigorous state-of-the-knowledge frame,  
to improve the
coordination of the different efforts for every CORDEX region and engage in
collaboration. The following aspects will be highlighted:

·        Current state of the simulations in the different regions,

·        Preliminary results,

·        Needs of coordination,

·        Database state,

·        Common problems to be addressed and future plans.

·        Tools and data to be shared

·        Synergies between different users communities: modeling, impacts,
policymakers,...



The conference will consist of two segments. The first (1-3 October)  
will be devoted to a
review of the status and main issues of climate modeling using WRF and  
will include
invited and contributed papers and will foster open discussion. The  
second segment (4-5
October) will consist in hands-on laboratory sessions for training in  
WRF4G, CLWRF and
post-processing tools.



We invite you to consider attending and/or submitting a communication  
for this workshop
and tutorial.



With best regards,

Organizing Committee
