Clouds, Convection, and Data

Workshop

WHEN March 4-6, 2014
WHERE Abu Dhabi WHO NYU Abu Dhabi Institute By Invitation Interested scholars please contact nyuad.programs@nyu.edu

In Collaboration with The Center for Prototype Climate Modeling, NYUAD Meteorologists have nowadays access to an ever increasing amount of data, such as observations from the many satellite orbiting the Earth, extensive network of radiosondes used for weather forecasting around the globe, and dedicated measurement campaigns. A critical challenge is how to best use the vast amount of data to gain new insights on the physical world around us. Such undertaking requires to understand the nature and limitations of these observations, to develop new methods to analyze large amount of data and to reassess our theories and models in light of the newly gained information. The workshop organized by the Center for Prototype Climate Modeling will gather atmospheric scientists with broad range of expertise in observations, data analysis and modeling to specifically discuss how to improve our understanding of the role of clouds in the Earth's atmosphere.

Simultaneous Arabic translation will be provided.
