What's New
The 2009 Annual Meeting is being organized
around the broad theme of “Urban Weather and Climate:
Now and the Future.” The relevance and timeliness
of the urban theme cannot be overemphasized.
Recent events—Hurricane Katrina; urban floods in
Europe and China; heat waves in London, Paris, and
Chicago; homeland security concerns; and industrial
chemical accidents; to name a few—point out the
vulnerability of urban populations to high-impact
weather of all types.
