AC-VC-14 & GEO-CAPE Joint Meeting
Event Dates: May 2nd - 4th, 2018
The 14th Meeting of the Atmospheric Composition Virtual Constellation
Location: College Park, Maryland, USA
Hosted by: The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (USA) Center for Weather and Climate Prediction (NCWCP)
The meeting was held at the NOAA Center for Weather and Climate Prediction (NCWCP), 5830 University Research Court, College Park, MD, 20740. Our NOAA colleagues Shobha Kondragunta and Larry Flynn very kindly served as our local hosts.
Tentative week at-a-glance:
GEO-CAPE Community Workshop: May 1st, 2018
A community workshop for the atmospheric composition component of the NASA GEO-CAPE mission study will be held the day immediately preceding AC-VC-14. While primarily a team meeting focused on completing the formal GEO-CAPE mission study in 2018, AC-VC-14 participants are welcome to also attend this GEO-CAPE workshop.
[ GEO-CAPE Community Workshop Agenda ]
AC-VC-14, May 2nd – 4th, 2018
- May 2nd: Greenhouse Gases (GHG)
- May 3rd: Air Quality (AQ, Trace Gases, and Long-term Ozone Records
- May 4th: AQ Aerosols and GHG-AQ Synergies
We will discuss the two white papers on which AC-VC is actively working: a constellation for greenhouse gas observations and validation needs for the air quality constellation. We will also discuss potential activities associated with the new theme on synergies of coordinated GHG and AQ observations.
We will also have a poster session for the discussion of contributed topics. Please indicate your interest in presenting a poster on the registration form.
