Dear Colleagues and Friends,
(My apologies for multiple postings)
Just a friendly reminder for the AGU abstract submission. I would like to draw your attention to the following session that my colleagues and I are organizing for AGU 2017 fall meeting (11-15 December 2017 in New Orleans, Louisiana). I hope you will consider submitting an abstract to our session.
Abstract deadline: August 2, 2017 11:59 P.M. EDT
Session ID: 23809
Session Title: A108. Upper Tropospheric Clouds and Convection: Processes, Dynamics, and Feedbacks in Weather and Climate
Section/Focus Group: Atmospheric Sciences
Session Viewer Link: https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm17/preliminaryview.cgi/Session23809
Session Description:
Deep convection, stratiform anvils, and cirrus clouds all play significant roles in controlling the energy budgets and climate feedbacks. With advances in high-resolution modeling and the wealth of observations available, much progress has been made in understanding the nature of upper tropospheric clouds and convection. Recently, GEWEX has formed a working group on Process Evaluation Studies on Upper Tropospheric Clouds and Convection (UTCC PROES) to develop new observation based metrics to advance our understanding on the relation between convection and outflowing anvil properties, in particular their radiative heating, and resulting feedbacks. Motivated by this, we invite presentations on recent findings on UTCC and their dynamics and feedbacks at the process level. Both observational and modeling studies are encouraged to participate. In particular we invite submissions on various aspects of convective systems including links between precipitation, anvil and cirrus cloud dynamics, latent and radiative heating, and upscale feedbacks.
Invited Speakers: Graeme Stephens from JPL and Gregory Elsaesser from NASA GISS
Primary Convener: Hanii Takahashi, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA, United States
Conveners: Rachel L Storer, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA, United States, Johnny Luo, CUNY City College of New York, New York, NY, United States and Susan van den Heever, Colorado State University, Department of Atmospheric Science, Fort Collins, CO, United States
Best regards,
Hanii
