Third International Workshop on High-Resolution and Cloud
Modeling - Tropical Cyclones and Climate
Instantaneous outgoing long-wave flux from a NICAM simulation with
horizontal resolution of 7 km.
The "Third International Workshop on High-Resolution and Cloud
Modeling - Tropical Cyclones and Climate" will be held at
the University of Hawaii in Honolulu, December 2-4, 2008.
This follows the successful "First International Workshop on
High-Resolution and Cloud Modeling - Fusion of Satellite
Observations and High-Resolution Modeling" held in 2006
at Kusatsu, Japan, and the 2007 "Second International Workshop
on High-Resolution and Cloud Modeling - Tropical Convection and
the Madden-Julian Oscillation" held in Reading, UK.
The aim of this workshop is to assess the current status of high-resolution
atmospheric models, with a focus on the issue of simulation of
tropical cyclones and the connection of tropical cyclones to climate
variability and change. The oral papers at the workshop will be
given by invited speakers. In addition we expect to accommodate
about 40 contributed poster papers. Key issues to be considered
are the scale interactions related to tropical cyclone genesis,
intensification, structure and intensity changes, and both
large-scale control and large-scale impact of tropical cyclones, as
well as dynamical downscaling of the impact of global warming
on tropical cyclones. Contributions to high-resolution modeling
and satellite observations of cloud/mesoscale systems and
cloud-aerosol interactions are also welcome.
Please submit abstracts by September 15
Logistical Information
The meeting venue and hotels are about 10 km from Honolulu
International Airport (HNL).
We will have buses taking participants from the Ala Moana
Hotel (410 Atkinson Dr., Honolulu, HI 96814) to the meeting venue each day, and the
Ala Moana Hotel will also host a reception on the evening
of Tuesday December 2. As of late August the Ala Moana Hotel is offering rates
as low as $129 for the meeting dates if you book through
their web site, which is lower than any group
rate they will provide us. So please book directly via
Ala Moana Hotel Reservations
Available rates may change. We suggest participants
book as soon as possible. Note the Ala Moana Hotel is entirely
non-smoking.
Other options within a 5-10 minute walk of the Ala Moana Hotel
include the Hawaii Prince Hotel Waikiki (more expensive),
the Aqua Waikiki Marina (budget) and the Holiday Inn
Waikiki.
