First Tri-State Weather Conference
7 October 2006, Danbury, Connecticut
The First Tri-State Weather Conference will be held on Saturday, 7 October 2006 in the New Science Building on the mid-town campus of Western Connecticut State University in Danbury, CT. The conference is presented by the Meteorology Program at Western Connecticut State University and co-sponsored by the WestConn Student Chapter of the AMS, the New York City/Long Island Chapter of the AMS, and NOAA/National Weather Service/NYC/Upton, NY. The purpose of the conference is to enhance education, professional development and communication among private and public sector meteorologists, researchers, educators, students, emergency management officials, and weather enthusiasts.
Submissions, in the form of oral presentations or posters, are being solicited on high impact weather events that affect the Tri-State region of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Potential topics would include, but are not limited to, nor‘easters and winter weather, severe thunderstorms, tropical weather and hurricanes, climate change, and mesoscale meteorology. We are especially interested in presentations about Hurricane Floyd, the Blizzard of February ’06, and other notable weather events of recent years. Presentations about significant historical weather events from the region, such as the 1938 Hurricane and the Blizzard of ’78, are also welcomed. The deadline for abstracts is June 30, 2006.
