Wish you a happy, healthy and safe 2021

May this new year be fruitful and healthy for you.

We would like to remind you also, that from 2-6 August this year our 18^th conference will be held. It was postponed one year due to the current sanitary conditions. However, as vaccination is advancing only slowly, we decided to hold our conference in a hybrid manner. An on-site conference in Pune will be complemented by videoconferences. The actual form will be determined closer to the event when the constraints can be estimated with more precision.

Please remember also that Jan 14 is the abstract submission deadline. Until then, you can revise already submitted abstracts or add/remove them.

The originally planned adjacent events (cloud modelling workshop and airborne data processing workshop) will also be maintained.

Furthermore, we are working on improving our new web page. You might want to check out the tabs “history” and “picture gallery”. On the “history” page, we are currently adding scans of the proceedings from previous conferences. In the “picture gallery” some remarkable events during the conferences are highlighted.

We hope to see you all live or on video soon.

Take care

ICCP

A short course on Cloud Physics Data: In-Situ Measurements, Data Processing, and Analysis Methodology will be held at the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), Pune, India, 31 July – 1 August 2021. (Note: ICCP 2020 and the short course were originally postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The short courses will be conducted as a hybrid/virtual meeting, depending on the improvement in the pandemic.

Chairs: Greg McFarquhar (University of Oklahoma) and Darrel Baumgardner

Meeting Information

Name	Short Course on Cloud Physics Data: Measurement, Processing and Analysis Methodology
Venue	Indian Institute for Tropical Meteorology (IITM), Pune
Dates	July 31 – August 1 2021.

Objectives and Scope	To instruct students, early career scientists and scientists new to the field of cloud physics in modern techniques for measuring cloud microphysical properties, and processing, analyzing and interpreting such data (see below)

Background and Course Description

The 18th International Conference on Clouds and Precipitation will be held in Pune, India, August 2-6, 2021. As a complementary meeting that would be held the weekend prior to this conference, we will conduct a short course focused on teaching techniques for measuring cloud (fog) properties and methodologies for processing, analyzing and interpreting such measurements.

The basic components for this course that would be held all day on the Saturday and half day on the Sunday prior to conference registration, are listed below. We would expect the majority of participants to be also attending the conference.
