30th Conference on Climate Variability and Change, 24th Conference on Probability and Statistics, and 16th Conference on Artificial Intelligence Call for Papers

30th Conference on Climate Variability and Change, 24th Conference on Probability and Statistics, and 16th Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 28–29 July 2017, Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.A.

     The 30th Conference on Climate Variability and Change, 24th Conference on Probability and Statistics, and 16th Conference on Artificial Intelligence, sponsored by the American Meteorological Society, and organized by the AMS Committees on Probability & Statistics (P&S), Climate Variability & Change (CVC), and Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the American Statistical Association (ASA) Section on Statistics and the Environment (ENVR) was held 28–29 July 2017 (preceding the 2017 ASA Joint Statistical Meetings, JSM) at the Hyatt Regency Baltimore Inner Harbor, Baltimore, MD. 

            Papers for this conference were solicited on statistical applications relevant to any area of atmospheric science, but particularly to climate variability and change, as well as methods for handling and mining large data.  New statistical applications or methodologies are of particular interest including statistical applications related to the following topics:  subseasonal to seasonal (S2S) prediction and predictability; ensemble and multi-model ensemble forecasting methods; artificial intelligence, machine-learning and decision making; process-oriented model evaluation and prediction; extreme value analysis and prediction; climate change and non-stationarity in analysis and prediction; derived forecasts, decision support and climate services; as well as forecast verification.

           Multiple submissions were allowed by individual authors. However, AMS policy limits participation to one oral presentation each (please note that additional submissions will be assigned as posters). The availability of oral presentations, however, depended on the number of submissions. An abstract fee of $95.00 (payable by credit card or purchase order) was required at the time of abstract submission (refundable only if abstract is not accepted). This fee includes the posting of your abstract, extended abstract, as well as the posting of your presentation and its recording (if consented to) which is archived on the AMS Web site.

          Authors of accepted presentations were notified via e-mail in late April 2017.  Authors had the option to submit extended abstracts (up to 10 MB) and other supplementary information electronically by 29 August 2017.
