The Conference on the Inland Impacts of Tropical Cyclones, hosted by the Metro Atlanta Chapter of the American Meteorological Society (AMS) and National Weather Association (NWA), will be held 10-12 June 2009 at the Westin Peachtree Plaza in Atlanta, Georgia. A preliminary program will be posted in March 2009.
Oral presentations are solicited around the broad theme of the inland impacts of tropical cyclones. We anticipate session topics to include tropical cyclone-induced tornadoes, rainfall extremes, inland flooding, inland winds, interactions with mid-latitude circulations or pre-existing synoptic features, terrain and urban influences, long-term connections to climate and the hydrologic cycle, and preparedness and response by the media, emergency management, and the public. We encourage presentations from public, private, and broadcast sectors as well as from academia. Final sessions will be based on the number and topics of abstracts received.
The Conference will consist of a mix of invited and contributed presentations. Please submit abstracts electronically to the science committee chairperson: Rob Handel at robert.handel@noaa.gov. The deadline for abstract submission is 6 February 2009. Authors of accepted presentations will be notified via e-mail by 9 March 2009. Instructions for submitting presentations electronically will be posted on this conference website. For further information about the conference please contact the program chairperson: Trisha Palmer at trisha.palmer@noaa.gov.
