The 10th WRF Users' Workshop will take place at the NCAR's Center Green campus, Boulder, Colorado, on 23-26 June 2009.
Papers focusing on WRF model development and testing are solicited, particularly in the area of model numerics and physics, model verification, regional climate, high-impact weather, hurricanes, regional climate, data assimilation, ensemble forecasting and atmospheric chemistry. Authors may request either an oral or poster presentation. We encourage authors to consider submission for poster presentation due to time constrains for oral sessions.
Workshop schedule will be posted on the web by June 5.
Short tutorial sessions will be offered for:
MET (http://www.dtcenter.org/met/users/),
VAPOR (http://www.vapor.ucar.edu),
GSI (Gridpoint Statistical Interpolation),
Satellite Radiance Data Assimilation (WRF-Var),
IDV (http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/),
and

In addition to the Developer Forum (or Q&A Session) during the workshop, WRF helpdesk will open for several sessions for users to discuss their special issues with developers.
