Meeting Announcement
A CalWater Science Workshop will be held 8-10 June 2011
at Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, California. After a successful
field season with specialized aircraft, scanning radar and other sensors
deployed, this Workshop will bring the CalWater science team together as a
next step in the analysis phase of CalWater. The focus will be on
summarizing the data collection efforts, identifying promising events for
deeper analysis, considering modeling efforts and exploring possible
collaborations. Both the Atmospheric River and Aerosol-Precipitation
topics are to be covered. The primary outcomes of the Workshop are:
- identification of key cases for further analysis and modeling,
- development of collaborations to pursue CalWater's science objectives,
- ideas for submissions to a proposed AGU special session focused on CalWater, and
- possibilities for potential formal science papers.
Presentations include:
- data/case overviews from major platforms or for major science topics
- results of observational or modeling analyses from previous field seasons
- modeling and diagnostic results and/or future plans for CalWater modeling or diagnostic studies
- preliminary diagnostic or phenomenological summaries from this field season and or plans for future CalWater analyses
- recommendations for case studies or climatological studies from this field season or past field seasons
- relevant activities from closely related projects/programs, especially HMT and WISPAR
