You are receiving this email to request your participation in a survey about DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion). We are a group of international scientists from the cloud physics community, aiming to understand if and how DEI has influenced various aspects of the cloud physics community, such as collaborations and gender balance. We would appreciate it if you could take a few minutes (~10 mins) to fill in the following survey to collect information that will help us understand the current state of DEI in our community.

The survey will remain open until midnight 04 August 2021. The results from the survey are expected to be presented in the upcoming ICCP meeting, and therefore, we would greatly appreciate it if you can participate before the aforementioned date.

We invite your contribution to our AGU Fall Meeting session on “Lagrangian and Climatological Transitions of Warm Boundary Layer Clouds.” We seek a balance of observational and modeling-oriented perspectives and studies that integrate results across multiple platforms/field campaigns. We particularly welcome submissions from early-career scientists and members of underrepresented groups in atmospheric/climate science. Please consider submitting an abstract to session A070 — the deadline for submission is August 4th.

Session Confirmed Invited Speakers: Timothy Myers (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) and Louise Nuijens (Delft University of Technology).

We look forward to meeting you, virtually or in person, at AGU!

Regards,

A070. Lagrangian and Climatological Transitions of Warm Boundary Layer Clouds
Transitions of boundary layer cloudiness (e.g. from stratocumulus to cumulus, closed to open mesoscale cellular convection, etc.) are an important aspect of the climate system and have proven difficult to accurately simulate in both small and large scale models, revealing a fundamental gap in our understanding of both micro- and macro-scale atmospheric physics. In this session, we invite observational and modeling studies that expand our understanding of the interactions between meteorology, clouds, precipitation, radiation, aerosols, and turbulence that influence cloud transitions in areas of subtropical subsidence, post-frontal mid-latitude systems, and other significant low-lying warm cloud regimes. We especially encourage papers studying the Lagrangian and climatological transition between cloud organizational structures that utilize the wealth of information provided through combining satellite observations, modeling frameworks, and observations from multiple recent field campaigns (e.g. CAP-MBL, MAGIC, CSET, ACE-ENA, ORACLES, EUREC4A/ATOMIC, COMBLE, ACTIVATE).

With great pleasure we announce that the next International Radiation Symposium (IRS), originally planned for July 2020 and postponed twice due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, will be held from 4-8 July, 2022 in Thessaloniki, Greece. IRS2022 is organized by the International Radiation Commission (IRC), the International Association of Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences (IAMAS) and the Laboratory of Atmospheric Physics of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTh). IRS2022 will provide a comprehensive international forum for presenting and discussing recent research achievements and technological developments on atmospheric radiation and related disciplines. You are cordially invited to attend the symposium to present your scientific work and exchange ideas with top scientists in the Atmospheric Radiation community. IRS2022 will offer keynote presentations under the Topical Union Session, parallel paper presentations, and poster sessions.

The Symposium comprises the following sessions: 

• Topical Union Session
• Radiative Transfer Theory and Modeling
• Particle Radiative Properties
• General Remote Sensing
• Ground-based Measurements and Field Observations
• Radiation Budget and Forcing
• Weather, Climate and Environment Applications
• Solar UV Radiation
• Ocean Optics
• Climate Change in the Mediterranean and Radiative Impacts of a Changing Environment

Submission of Abstracts will be open from 1 September through 15 December 2021. Please look for details at the symposium’s website: https://www.irs2022.org/preparation-of-abstracts/. Please note that all abstracts submitted to IRS2020 must be submitted again.

Registration will open starting on 1 September 2021 at: https://www.irs2022.org/register-now/.

Please pass this announcement on to interested colleagues, especially newcomers to the field.

Looking forward to welcoming you in Thessaloniki.

Our ICCP conference is only a month away. You should have received by now a notification of acceptance of your submissions. As the entire conference will be held online, the oral presentations are only 5 min long and regrouped in a few hours to take into account ime zones. However, longer talks can also be uploaded for further material. Posters will be handled via iposter, and social acitivites via “wonder” and “gather” platforms. We try to provide numerous platforms for discussion and contact. Details will appear on the Pune conference web page soon.

During the last 5 years, we lost an important number of colleages that we would like to honor during the conference. Below, please find the names of those that we are aware of. If we missed someone, please bring them to our attention:

John Latham, Harry T. Ochs III, Hans R. Pruppacher, Ken Beard, Dr Constantin Andronache, Professor Paul Smith, John Christian Pflaum, Roddy Rhodes ROGERS, Prof. Roland List, , John Hallett, Dr. Roscoe Braham, Griffith Morgan Jr, Dr. Takeshi Ohtake, Professor Jón Egill Kristjánsson

The third International Summer Snowfall Workshop will be held online this summer, 31 August – 3 September (afternoons, European time).
Topics of interest include:

• Ice microphysical processes and snowflake microstructure
• Scattering properties of snowflakes and their connection to microphysical characteristics
• Remote sensing of snowfall, and assimilation of such observations into forecasts

we welcome studies using theory, modelling, field observations or laboratory studies to address these problems.

More details can be found on the workshop webpage: http://www.met.reading.ac.uk/~sws04cdw/issw3.html
Please consider submitting a short abstract by Friday 14 May.

Organisers: Chris Westbrook, Karina McCusker, Stefan Kneifel, Dmitri Moisseev, Maximilian Maahn
