The Eleventh Annual Workshop on Weather Prediction in the Intermountain West will be held on Thursday, November 4, 2004 at the University of Utah Huntsman Cancer Institute. The objectives of this annual workshop are to discuss major issues related to operational meteorology over the western United States and to foster interaction between researchers, applied meteorologists, and other professionals who rely on operational weather forecasts or data.
The theme of the workshop is Impacts of Intermountain Anticyclones and priority will be given to abstracts related to valley and basin cold pools, fog, air pollution, the North American Monsoon, and drought. Abstracts related to other areas of Intermountain meteorology and weather prediction will also be given consideration. Presentations may be given orally or as a poster, with the number of oral presentation limited.
The workshop is being hosted by the NOAA Cooperative Institute for Regional Prediction. Attendees from beyond the Wasatch Front may contact the University Guest House at (888) 416-4075 for reservations.
