2008

IRS 2008 – International Radiation Symposium 2008
Date: August 03-08, 2008
Location: Foz do Iguacu, Brazil

The 2008 International Radiation Symposium was held at Mabu Thermas and Resort, at Foz do Iguacu, Brazil from 3 to 8 August 2008. This was the first time that the IRS took place in South America, and also the first in the Southern Hemisphere.

Foz do Iguacu city is located at the triple-national border between Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay, and is one of the most popular scenic venues in Brazil, with several nature and wildlife features, like Iguassu National Park.

An IRS 2008 Proceedings book was provided to symposium attendees.

2004

IRS 2004 – International Radiation Symposium 2004
Date: August 23-28, 2004
Location: Busan, Korea

The Symposium reviewed the current status of radiative transfer, molecular and aerosol radiative properties, radiation budget, weather and climate applications, and measurements from ground-based stations, balloons, aircraft, and satellites.

The timing of this Symposium was very appropriate as scientists interested in these fields require up-to-date information to advance their research and knowledge. This Symposium acted as a bridge to strengthen the cooperative relationship among relevant organizations.
