Dear Colleagues,

We are happy to announce the 14th International Precipitation Conference (IPC14) which will take place on June 5-9, 2023 at the National Weather Center at the University of Oklahoma in Norman, Oklahoma. The theme of IPC14 is “Emerging directions in precipitation science and applications: going beyond” with emphasis on three main topics: (1) Multi-source observations and modeling of precipitation; (2) Water cycle dynamics from regional to global scales; and (3) Precipitation extremes and hydrological hazards including floods, droughts, and landslides. More information can be found on the IPC14 website.

The goal of this conference is to create a discussion platform for all scientists to define challenges and opportunities, and craft directions for future research in precipitation. The IPC14 organizing committee put together a survey to identify the most critical questions to address during the conference. We would love to hear your thoughts and feedback to improve your experience. The conference agenda and discussions will be designed accordingly to maximize the benefit of IPC14. Please fill out the survey by April 7 to indicate your interest in participating and identify the most critical topics to discuss during the conference.

Please contact the IPC14 Organizing Committee at ipc14@arrc.ou.edu with any questions. Reminders will be sent out periodically.

We look forward to seeing you in Norman on June 5-9, 2023.

Best regards,

Pierre Kirstetter

on behalf of the IPC14 organizing committee
