Serving Society with better Weather and Climate Information

Event Dates
2017-04-21

The EMS Annual Meeting: European Conference for Applied Meteorology and Climatology 2017 will be held from 4 to 8 September 2017 at the Helix Conference Centre Dublin, Ireland.

A key challenge for the meteorological and climatological communities is how best to harness the wealth of data now available – both observational and modelled – to generate and communicate effectively relevant, tailored, and timely information, ensuring the highest-quality support for users' decision-making.

This is relevant for the whole spectrum of users: from specific user groups such as the emergency management agencies, local planners and enterprises that are weather sensitive, to individual members of the general public. Realizing the value of meteorological and climate information to government, industry, and all sectors of society is the focus of this conference.

Some of the prevalent issues to be discussed include:

  • Observation data
  • Instrumentation
  • User focus and support tools
  • Big data
  • Open data
  • Communication
  • Decision-making under uncertainty
  • Weather and climate predictions and projections

Abstract submission deadline is 21 April, 2017.
