Meteorological Society room block to get a discounted rate.

Extended Manuscripts
Extended manuscripts will be available via the AMS website. No hard copies will be produced for this meeting. We encourage all presenters to submit a manuscript since time for presentations is limited. Authors that submit their extended manuscripts via the web have the option to record their presentations at the conference. The presentation will then be posted to the AMS web-site after the meeting. This feature is only available for authors who submit an extended manuscript.

Authors are required to submit their preprint paper online as a PDF file. Your full manuscript will be available on the AMS Web site containing the meeting program in addition to the short abstract that is currently available. Further, you are given the option of uploading your presentation and including a URL to an external Web site so that supplemental materials, such as a more complete manuscript, color figures, animations, etc., can be linked to the preprint manuscript.

Your manuscript should be no more than 3MB in size. The deadline for receipt of your manuscript pdf file on line is 20 May 2005. It is very important that you adhere to our deadlines. If you cannot submit your manuscript pdf by this date, please contact the Meetings Department immediately via e-mail: mhuntington@ametsoc.org, bward@ametsoc.org, or jrosen@ametsoc.org or by telephone (617) 227-2426, ext 226, 227 or 202. Please see manual instructions (PDF) for more detailed information.

If you have any changes to make to the your short abstract, tittle or author information please do so, when
submitting your manuscript by16 May 2005.

17th Conference on Climate Variability and Change
The 17th Conference on Climate Variability and Change sponsored by the American Meteorological Society. (This joint conference is sponsored by the AMS Committee on Climate Variability and Change (CVC), whose former name (Committee on Climate Variations) was changed to reflect the inclusion of global change in its purview and the inclusion of the former Symposia on Global Change Studies in its Conferences. CVC will sponsor conferences at each Annual Meeting, including in 2005 and 2006). This conference will be held in conjunction with the 15th Conference on Atmospheric and Oceanic Fluid Dynamics (AOFD) and the 13th Conference on Middle Atmosphere (MA).

The conference will focus on joint sessions with the other two committees. These joint sessions will be organized on: dynamics and changes of climate modes (including annular modes) (AOFD, MA), tropical/extratropical interactions (including the QBO) (MA, AOFD), stratospheric chemistry/radiation/climate feedback processes (MA, AOFD), predictability of the climate system (AOFD, MA), stratospheric climate variability and trends (MA), water vapor in the upper troposphere/lower stratosphere (MA), and the global tropopause (MA, AOFD). Peter Rhines (University of Washington) will give the Bernhard Haurwitz lecture at the conference banquet.

15th Conference on Atmospheric and Oceanic Fluid Dynamics
15th Conference on Atmospheric and Oceanic Fluid Dynamics sponsored by the American Meteorological Society and organized by the AMS Committee on Atmospheric and Oceanic Fluid Dynamics. The meeting will be held in conjunction with the 13th Conference on the Middle Atmosphere (MA) and the 17th Conference on Climate Variability and Change (CVC).

Papers are solicited in all areas of atmospheric and oceanic fluid dynamics. Joint sessions will be organized on: dynamics and changes of climate modes (including annular modes) (MA, CVC), tropical/extratropical interactions (including the QBO) (MA, CVC), stratospheric chemistry/radiation/climate feedback processes (MA, CVC), predictability of the climate system (MA, CVC), the global tropopause (MA, CVC), stratosphere-troposphere dynamical coupling (including predictability) and exchange (MA), and gravity waves (MA). Peter Rhines (University of Washington) will give the Bernhard Haurwitz lecture at the conference banquet. We encourage papers emphasizing the dynamic interaction among different components of the ocean-atmosphere fluid system. Examples include (but are not limited to) large-scale dynamics of the coupled atmosphere-ocean system, and interactions among eddies of different scales. Additional foci will include climate regimes, stochastic modeling, mixing in the atmosphere and ocean, thermohaline flows, and the role of fluid dynamics in mediating biogeochemical feedbacks in the climate system.

13th Conference on Middle Atmosphere
The 13th Conference on Middle Atmosphere sponsored by the American Meteorological Society and organized by the AMS Committee on the Middle Atmosphere. The conference will be held in conjunction with the 15th Conference on Atmospheric and Oceanic Fluid Dynamics (AOFD) and the 17th Conference on Climate Variability and Change (CVC).

A special session on new results from the AURA satellite is planned. Joint sessions with the other two committees will include: dynamics and changes of climate modes (including annular modes) (AOFD, CVC), tropical-extratropical interactions (including the QBO) (CVC, AOFD), stratosphere chemistry/radiation/climate feedback processes (CVC, AOFD), predictability of the climate system (CVC, AOFD), the global tropopause (CVC, AOFD), stratospheric climate variability and trends (CVC), water vapor in the upper troposphere/lower stratosphere (CVC), gravity waves (AOFD), and stratosphere-troposphere dynamical interactions and exchange (AOFD). In addition to the joint session topics, papers are solicited in all areas of middle atmosphere (upper troposphere through the mesosphere) science, including dynamics, trace constituent transport, chemistry, and radiation. We seek a balanced program of observational studies, modeling, and theory.

Abstracts
Abstracts (deadline 16 February): The link below allows the submission of abstracts of 1000 words or less. The abstract fee of $60 includes archiving the abstracts on a Web site. You will be able to modify or update your submitted abstract up until 16 May. There will be no preprint volume and no CD, since all abstracts will be available online. If you wish to submit an extended abstract (pdf document) this option will be available for an additional $50 up until 16 May. We anticipate that this option will be available 18 March.

Please note that the list of topics for abstract submission is designed mainly to aid the organizers in designing sessions. We welcome abstracts on these and other topics. The meeting sessions will depend on the content of the abstracts, not the session selected during submission.
