[Narccap-announce] AGU deadline August 4th

[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.

AGU strictly enforces deadlines. Please submit your abstract ASAP.

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 **August 4th 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!

      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.


Cheers!
