START08 & preHIPPO Field Campaign Workshop

8 - 9 January 2008

NCAR: Boulder, Colorado

Stratosphere-Troposphere Analyses of Regional Transport (START-08) and HIAPER Pole-to-Pole Observations (HIPPO) of Carbon Cycle and Greenhouse Gases experiment will have a joint payload and operation in Spring 2008. During this workshop, the investigators will provide an overview of the scientific issues the experiments planned to address. Related modeling and satellite data analyses will be discussed. Planning for forecast and flight operations will also be part of the workshop. We invite the community’s participation and scientific involvement in the project... Additional Information

14th Conference on Middle Atmosphere

20 - 24 August 2007, Portland Oregon

The 14th Conference on the Middle Atmosphere, sponsored by the American Meteorological Society and organized by the AMS Committee on the Middle Atmosphere, will be held 20-24 August 2007 at the Doubletree Hotel-Lloyd Center in Portland, Oregon. The conference will be held in conjunction with the 15th Conference on Air-Sea Interaction. A preliminary program, plus general registration on the conference, registration, and hotels, will be posted on the AMS Web site in April 2007. more information....

SPARC-IGAC Workshop

Stratospheric Processes And their Role in Climate - A project of the World Climate Research Programme
May 2005, Max Planck Institut für Chemie, Mainz, Germany

The links between atmospheric chemistry and climate are receiving increasing attention on several fronts. One region where the two are tightly coupled is the Upper Troposphere/Lower Stratosphere (UTLS), which spans the altitude range from ~8-16 km (depending on latitude). Transport in this region and, in particular, exchange between the troposphere and stratosphere occurs through a combination of processes including, in the tropics, cumulus convection, and in the extratropics, synoptic-scale weather systems, together with the large-scale Brewer-Dobson circulation. more information...
