There is just one week left to submit papers for this year's Atmospheric Science Conference (ASC), which will be taking place as a series of virtual events on 22 June, 6 July and 21 September, with the overarching theme 'Atmospheric Science for Solutions'.
The virtual ASC2021 will combine keynote speakers with plenary presentations, parallel oral sessions (with Q&A), and short talks.
The first two events will include plenary sessions on net-zero emissions, climate adaptation and resilience, and disaster risk reduction. The third event will look to the future and the opportunities and challenges that will impact atmospheric science moving forward.
Abstracts are welcomed across the atmospheric science community, including researchers, operational, end-users and policymakers. And, from all areas including weather, climate, chemistry and air quality, observations, theory, land surface and ocean interactions.
Replacing the traditional poster sessions will be multiple small parallel Zoom sessions on each day. The format will consist of 10-minute talks with a limited number of slides. Each session will include 5-6 talks.
The Conference will be an excellent opportunity to show people what you are working on, as well as keeping up to date with activities from across the whole community.
Stand-alone abstracts will be grouped and assigned to an appropriate session theme. Suggestions for session themes are also warmly received; this could be especially useful if you are part of a collaborative project or science community, so you can use it to catch up with each other at the same time as showcasing your work. (Please mention your proposed session theme in your abstract).
The deadline to submit an abstract is Friday, 23 April.
