[Wrf-users] Modeling of regional climate extremes: AGU Session Announcement

[Kelly Mahoney]

Dear WRF-users,

We would like to bring to your attention the session "Extreme Warm 
Season Precipitation in Mountainous Regions and its Hydrologic Impacts: 
Modeling and Observations for Climate Studies" at the 2010 Fall AGU 
Meeting in San Francisco, CA, December 13-17, 2010. A description of 
this session is provided below.

We invite and encourage you and your colleagues to consider submitting 
an abstract for this unique session.The deadline for submission is 
September 2, 2010 at 23:59 EDT. Abstracts may be submitted using the 
following form:

We are looking forward to an exciting session and hope to see you in 
December.

Sincerely,

/Session/: Extreme Warm Season Precipitation in Mountainous Regions and 
its Hydrologic Impacts: Modeling and Observations for Climate Studies

/Description/: Modeling warm-season precipitation and its hydrologic 
impacts, and how these might change in the future is a challenging 
problem. Does the addition of complex terrain to the equation make the 
solution more or less difficult? Topics of interest include: regional 
climate modeling; high-resolution numerical modeling; analysis of 
observational datasets for model validation; process studies; 
downscaling of climate model projections; potential impacts on flooding, 
reservoir operations and dam safety; relevance to probable maximum 
precipitation. The focus will be on understanding and simulating these 
events in the current climate and under climate change.
