SUMMARY:2nd Pan-GASS meeting
LOCATION:Lorne\, Victoria\, Australia
DESCRIPTION:Understanding and Modelling Atmospheric Processes:\n2nd Pan-GASS meeting sp
 onsored by the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science\n26th Fe
 bruary 2018 - 2nd March 2018, Lorne, Victoria, Australia\n \nCall for abstr
 acts:\nThe 2nd Pan-GASS meeting focused on ‘Understanding and Modelling Atm
 ospheric Processes’ aims to bring together NWP and climate scientists, obse
 rvationalists and modellers to discuss the key issues of atmospheric scienc
 e and to coordinate efforts to improve weather and climate models. The prog
 ram will include all aspects and methods of model development from determin
 istic numerics to stochastic forcing; process modelling to parametrization;
  observational constraints to diagnostic techniques; idealized modelling to
  operational forecasting and climate predictions.\nThe meeting will mainly 
 cover the following themes, but can include other topics related to underst
 anding and modelling the atmosphere:\n● Surface drag and momentum transport
 : orographic drag, convective momentum transport\n● Processes relevant for 
 polar prediction: stable boundary layers, mixed-phase clouds\n● Shallow and
  deep convection: stochasticity, scale-awareness, organization, grey zone i
 ssues\n● Clouds and circulation feedbacks: boundary-layer clouds, CFMIP, ci
 rrus\n● Microphysics and aerosol-cloud interactions: microphysical observat
 ions, parameterization, process studies on aerosol-cloud interactions\n● Ra
 diation: circulation coupling; interaction between radiation and clouds\n● 
 Land-atmosphere interactions: Role of land processes (snow, soil moisture, 
 soil temperature, and vegetation) in sub-seasonal to seasonal (S2S) predict
 ion\n● Physics-dynamics coupling: numerical methods, scale-separation and g
 rey-zone, thermodynamic consistency\n● Next generation model development: t
 he challenge of exascale, dynamical core developments, regional refinement,
  super-parametrization\n● High Impact and Extreme Weather: role of convecti
 ve scale models; ensembles; relevant challenges for model development\n \nO
 n the above topics, we invite you to submit abstracts broadly addressing on
 e of the key ingredients for modelling atmospheric processes:\n● Process un
 derstanding\n● Recent model developments and their impact on weather and cl
 imate prediction\n● Observational and high resolution constraints for impro
 ving models\n● Emerging and innovative observing and modelling approaches\n
 Abstract submission is open from 1 September and will close on 31 October 2
 017.\nAbstract submission is free.\nRegistration for the UMAP meeting will 
 open in mid-September 2017. There will be a fee of 150AUD associated with r
 egistration to cover costs. The fee will include all sessions, coffee break
 s and lunches for all conference days, a conference ice-breaker, and the co
 nference dinner.\nMore information can be found on the website at http://si
