Southern Appalachian Weather and Climate Workshop V

Introduction:

The development of the Southern Appalachian Weather and Climate Workshop is a collaborative effort between the various Universities and NOAA/NWS offices of the Southern Appalachian region.  Please refer to the Planning Committee menu page for more information.

Purpose of the Southern Appalachian Weather and Climate (SAWC) Workshop:

The Southern Appalachian Weather and Climate Workshop brings together a diverse group of federal, academic, students, and broadcast media to share research, operations, and communication of weather, water, and climate events.  The workshop is interested in a broad range of abstracts concerning weather and climate, and do not necessarily need to be focused on the southern Appalachians.  

Conference goals:

• Promoting interactions and effective communication between research and operations

• Promoting student interactions with the weather enterprise

• Sharing specific uses and research of weather, water, and climate data, information, and predictions.

• Assessing observed or potential weather, water, and climate impacts.

• Identifying gaps in research, operations, or communications of weather hazard and safety information.

• Developing effective partnerships between the Operational and Research community.
