2009 Seminars, Workshops and Reviews

NOAA Testbed USWRP Workshop: April 28-29, 2009

This workshop, directed towards enhancing communication across NOAA tesbed efforts, is an important opportunity to exchange information and best-practices on the wide variety of testbed projects including those from the Joint Hurricane Testbed (JHT), the HydroMeteorological Testbed (HMT), Collaborative Science, Technology, & Applied Research (CSTAR), the Societal Impacts Program (SIP), the Development Testbed Center (DTC), as well as, other relevant efforts seeded by USWRP and ones on the horizon.
See the NOAA Testbed USWRP Workshop site for more information.
NOAA ESRL 2009 Global Monitoring Annual Conference: May 13-14, 2009

The Global Monitoring Annual Conference is a continuing effort to stay abreast of recent observations concerning trace gases, aerosols, radiation, ozone, and climate forcing and to provide a forum in which these observations can be relayed and discussed. The ESRL monitoring and research results of the past year will be presented. The meeting is not limited to ESRL reports and includes observations related to these themes by both independent and cooperative investigators, and other national and international programs.
See the Global Monitoring Annual Conference site for more information and past presentations.

2008 Seminars and Workshops

4th Workshop on the Use of Isentropic & other Quasi-Lagrangian Vertical Coordinates in Atmosphere & Ocean Modeling: October 7-9, 2008
Considerable development & testing of quasi-Lagrangian vertical coordinates has occurred since the last hybrid-Θ modeling work shop 4 years ago. This work, in both the atmosphere & ocean, has demonstrated further the potential for isentropic & other quasi-Lagrangian vertical coordinates to improve simulations & forecasts of geophysical fluid flows. This workshop will include both invited & contributed papers on the latest progress in this rapidly developing field.

ESRL Atmospheric Chemistry Research Review: January 29-31, 2008
Laboratory scientific reviews are conducted every four years to evaluate the quality, relevance, and performance of research conducted in OAR laboratories. This review covers the atmospheric chemical sciences research of ESRL over the last four years. Research topics include Stratospheric Ozone, Carbon Dioxide, Methane and Climate, Non-CO₂ Climate Gases, Regional Air Quality, Chemical Transformation and Long Range Transport, and Aerosols and Climate.
