Workshop Program-->
Schedule
NCAR's Mesoscale and Microscale Meteorology Division
and the Byrd Polar Research Center of the Ohio State University invite
you to attend the Antarctic NWP and Forecasting Workshop
at the NCAR Foothills Laboratory, Boulder, Colorado.
The workshop is aimed to: (i) review the status
of Antarctic weather forecasting and real-time modeling
(with a focus on the Antarctic Mesocale Prediction System
[AMPS], which supports operations of the U.S. National Science
Foundation); (ii) serve as a forum for the presentation
of current research and ideas related to Antarctic meteorology,
NWP, and forecasting; and (iii) solicit feedback from the users of NWP
systems and products covering Antarctica, including issues of
model performance and support needs.
The motivation for this workshop is the completion of the
second season of the Antarctic Mesoscale Prediction System
(AMPS) , a real-time mesocale modeling system which
serves NSF's Antarctic operations. While there will be a
few invited speakers, talks and extended abstracts are encouraged
from all who would like to make an oral presentation on
relevant work or experiences.
The sessions will cover the following:
(a) NSF's AMPS system: issues, performance, and user feeback;
(b) Antarctic NWP research and forecasting efforts
(including investigations of forecast events and
modeled phenomena, polar atmospheric modeling, etc.); and
(c) the role of Antarctic NWP and forecasting in the planned
RIME (Ross Island Meteorology Experiment) project.
In addition to these areas, there will be general discussions
on the state of NWP available to the Antarctic research,
operational meteorology, and logistics communities.
An executive session on AMPS planning will follow the general
program.
Registration
The deadline for registering, and, if seeking a presentation,
submitting the title for your presentation
(with a brief description of the content),
is April 5, 2002. The registration fee is $50.00.
The workshop registration includes one preprint volume, refreshments,
and a reception. Note that the registration fee is due
at the time of registration.
Abstract submission and presentations
The deadline for submitting an extended abstract is May 1, 2002.
The length of workshop abstracts is expected to be NO LONGER THAN 4 pages,
and the style of the paper should conform to
the standard of
conference papers submitted to the American Meteorological Society (e.g.,
two-column page layout, single spaced, at least 9pt type, and
DO NOT include page numbers).
The manuscript should include your name, affiliation, and e-mail address,
and when sending the manuscript please include your phone and fax numbers.
A preprint volume will be produced.
Oral presentations are planned to be 20 min, although this
may be altered in light of workshop response. Invited talks will
also be presented. A program of speakers and topics will be posted
here following the registration period.
You can either e-mail your manuscript (in postscript or pdf format)
to anfwkshp@ncar.ucar.edu, or mail the paper in ready-to-copy form to:
If you typically use an A4 size paper, please note that
we can only print papers with sizes of 11 x 8.5 inches.
Electronic submission is encouraged, and papers submitted in
electronic form will be made available on the Web after the workshop.
The registration fee is $50.00. The
workshop is limited to 120 people because of venue size.
The forms of payment accepted are credit card (recommended),
personal check, bank check, and
money order. Purchase orders will be accepted if necessary, but
the preferred payment methods are those listed above.
Please make checks, etc. payable to
"NCAR", and mail, with your name and institution stated, to:
If you would like to do a presentation using Powerpoint, you may bring a
floppy disk, and we will provide the PC and PC projector.
