Call for Papers
We are pleased to announce the 33rd International Conference on Alpine Meteorology (ICAM). It will take place from 31 August to 04 September 2015 in Innsbruck, a scenic town located in the heart of the Austrian Alps. Papers on all aspects of mountain weather and climate are welcome, including but not limited to:
- Dry and moist dynamical processes in complex terrain
- Boundary layer processes, air quality and chemistry in mountainous regions
- Stable and convective orographic precipitation
- Snow, ice and hydrological processes in mountainous terrain
- Mountain climate, extreme events and associated risks
- Impacts of climate change in mountainous regions
- Numerical modelling of weather and climate in mountainous regions
- Data assimilation and predictability in complex terrain
- Statistical post-processing of numerical weather and climate predictions
- Recent and future field campaigns in complex terrain
The conference is hosted by the Institute of Meteorology and Geophysics (IMGI) at the University of Innsbruck (UIBK). It will be held at the Center for Chemistry and Biomedicine (CCB).
