The theme for the 2009 AMS Annual Meeting is “Urban Weather and Climate: Now and the Future.” The meeting aims to highlight advances and challenges in urban-related science, applications, observations, modeling and operations. The specialty conferences, symposia and special sessions that comprise the annual meeting will focus attention on six cross-cutting urban themes: (a) measurement systems and networks; (b) modeling and forecasting; (c) observations and studies of high-impact weather; (d) geographic influences on urban weather and climate; (e) human and environmental impacts; and (f) implications of climate change and population growth. “High-impact” weather is considered in its broadest sense, and includes severe weather, high wind events, precipitation, floods, icing, lightning, poor visibility, adverse air quality, and temperature extremes.
Concurrent conferences include the 21st Conference on Climate Variability and Change, the 23rd Conference on Hydrology, the 16th Conference on Air-Sea Interaction, the 16th Conference on Satellite Meteorology and Oceanography, the 13th Conference on Integrated Observing and Assimilation Systems for Atmosphere, Oceans, and Land Surface (IOAS-AOLS), the 11th Conference on Atmospheric Chemistry, the 8th Conference on Coastal Atmospheric and Oceanic Prediction and Processes, the 7th Users Forum on Weather and Climate Impacts, the 5th Annual Symposium on Future National Operational Environmental Satellite Systems-NPOESS and GOES-R, the 4th Symposium on Lidar Atmospheric Applications, a Joint Special Symposium on Biogeochemical Cycling of Trace Gases and Aerosols, and the 25th Conference on International Interactive Information and Processing Systems (IIPS) for Meteorology, Oceanography, and Hydrology, among others.

The conference will consist of a policy conference from 19-20 January and a science conference from 21-23 January. The policy conference will focus on new opportunities and challenges brought on by climate change, and management of the Arctic seas. The scientific conference of Arctic Frontiers 2009 will focus primarily on the structure and biogeochemical cycling of Arctic marine ecosystems in a period of rapid climate changes. The conference will also focus on sustainable management of Arctic regions. |
