Agenda Outline

Chief Scientist Message: We are planning an exciting meeting this year, with more emphasis on posters and better pacing than in the past. There are several things I would ask of each of you to help make the meeting as good as it can be:

  1. Stay through Thursday afternoon to hear presentations from some excellent speakers talk about climate modeling.
  2. Take the time to see more posters. They will remain up through Thursday evening.
  3. Adhere to the poster guidelines on the ARM website.
  4. Don't bring posters for non-attendees. We will be checking posters against our attendance list.
