[Narccap-announce] NARCCAP special session at AGU - CFP

[Antonia Rosati]

     Greetings NARCCAP friends,

     We encourage you to show your latest results in AGU special 
session
     GC10 on "Regional Climate Impacts 1. Studies Based on Simulations 
from
     the North American Regional Climate Change Assessment Program." 
We are
     specifically looking for research on climate analyses, impacts 
and adaptation studies, and further
     dynamical and statistical downscaling.


     The session will be held at the AGU Fall Meeting, 5-9 December 
2011 in
     San Francisco, California, USA.  The session description is at
     http://sites.agu.org/fallmeeting/scientific-program/session-search/333
     and is appended below.   Notice that the session description
     specifically mentions NARCCAP as a focus.

     For instructions on abstract submission please see the AGU web 
page at
     http://sites.agu.org/fallmeeting/scientific-program/submit-policies/

     The abstract deadline is 5 August 2011 at 03:59 UTC  (note this 
is
     the afternoon or evening of 4 August in the Western Hemisphere).
     Please be  aware that AGU is very strict about deadlines and they
     will not accept late abstracts under any circumstances!   We urge 
you
     to submit your abstract at least few days ahead of time as the 
AGU
     system sometimes becomes overloaded on the deadline date.

     Please let the NARCCAP team know if you have any questions.  We 
look
     forward to seeing you in San Francisco!

      Regards,
      Linda Mearns

      Description:

     NARCCAP is investigating the uncertainties in regional scale
     projections of future climate and producing high resolution 
climate
     change scenarios using multiple regional climate models (RCMs) 
and
     multiple global model responses to a future emission scenario, by
     nesting the RCMs (at 50 km spatial resolution)within global 
climate
     models over a domain covering most of N. America. The project 
also
     includes an evaluation phase through nesting the participating 
RCMs
     within NCEP Reanalysis. Over 400 registered users are working on
     climate analyses, impacts and adaptation studies, and further
     dynamical and statistical downscaling. We invite papers using 
NARCCAP
     data in any of these types of studies.
