The 10th International Cloud Modelling Workshop will be held at Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), Pune, India, 26^th to 30^th  July 2021 (https://iccp2020.tropmet.res.in/Cloud-Modeling-Workshop-2020). 

(Note: ICCP 2020 and ICMW 2020 has been postponed due to COVID-19 pandemic situation. The ICMW 2021 will be conducted as a hybrid/virtual meeting, depending on the improvement in pandemic situation. )

Chair: Lulin Xue (NCAR) and Shivsai Dixit (IITM, Pune)

• International Cloud Modelling Workshops are traditionally held every four years, in the temporal and spatial vicinity of the ICCP (the 1st one was an exception).
• The emphasis is on cloud microphysics (weather modification background).
• Specific cases are selected and run before the workshop and results are discussed at the workshop. A report from the workshop is typically presented at the ICCP.

Please read about IITM https://iccp2020.tropmet.res.in/fnd/About-IITM

Registration:
Note: ICMW registration is separate from the ICCP2020 conference.
Registration fee: INR 5000.00
(The registration fee includes lunch and refreshments during the workshop. Travel and accommodation charges are the responsibility of the participant )

If you are interested in the ICMW workshop, please register at this website 15^th February 2020 https://iccp2020.tropmet.res.in/fnd/ICMW/registration

Accommodation: ( in case of a hybrid event)
It is suggested that the participants may request accommodation in the IITM GH/ hostel so that they will not require any transportation.
We will provide accommodation at IITM GH/hostel on a first-come-first-served basis at a nominal rate.

If you plan to stay at one of the hotels, you may book through special rate links for the conference (which will be provided by 15^th February2020)
 https://iccp2020.tropmet.res.in/fnd/Accommodation#hotel
(Note: Some hotels may also provide airport pick up and drop for an additional cost, which you may request during your booking with the hotel. )  

Transportation: ( in case of a hybrid event)
Participants staying at IITM GH/hostels will not require any transportation. Participants staying at hotels will have to arrange for their own transport to IITM.

For travel to Pune, please see the details at this site  https://iccp2020.tropmet.res.in/fnd/travel
If you require visa, please register early: Visa details are available at this site https://iccp2020.tropmet.res.in/Visa

Submitting abstract:
You may submit an abstract in related themes of case studies of the ICMW or relating to your presentation at the ICCP conference.
You can also attend the workshop without an abstract (still need to register).
If you are a participant in the case study, please look for individual case study timelines and targets and consult respective case coordinators (https://iccp2020.tropmet.res.in/Cloud-Modeling-Workshop-2020).

Professor Dr. Hans Rudolf Pruppacher was a towering figure in the international cloud physics community.

He was a researcher, teacher, and mentor, and had immense impact on both experimental and theoretical
developments in the field of atmospheric science. Hard working and demanding at the workplace,
Hans was very kind to his students in personal relations.

The publication of the book “Microphysics of Clouds and Precipitation”, co-authored with James D. Klett in 1978,
is still an important contribution to the cloud physics field.
His research is gaining even more importance as recent climate studies have underlined the fundamental
uncertainties resulting from clouds.

Hans Pruppacher passed away on 11 oct 2020 after a short and brave fight against a brain tumour
and is survived by his wife Monica and his son Lucas.
Due to current regulations, the funeral ceremonies are restricted to his close family.
