SEPTEMBER 10~12 2013 UC DAVIS
The Air Quality Research Center at UC Davis is pleased to announce a new biennial
conference supported by the California Air Resources Board. This conference will interest
those involved in a wide array of research areas that utilize meteorological and climatological data.
The primary focus will be on the modeling and prediction of regional climate and air quality - with a
special emphasis on understanding what is “under the hood” - in the models and how to improve them.
Sessions will cover:
* Meteorology Model Performance Issues
* Complex Terrain and Topography
* Numerical Methods
* Cloud and Radiation Processes
* Integrated Modeling
* Climate Downscaling
* BL Parameterizations and Grey-Zone Turbulence
* Land-Surface Processes and Inverse Modeling
* Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion Modeling
* Wildfire and Prescribed Burn Meteorology
