ISCCP at 30
Several dates from August 2012 through July 2013, 2013, will mark the 30th Anniversary of the events that began the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP), from the first formal international meeting to the beginning of data collection. A 3.5 day conference titled "ISCCP at 30" is being organized on 22-25 April 2013 at the City College of New York to mark this occasion, to review and assess what we have learned about the role of cloud processes in weather and climate, and to discuss where cloud research should go next. The conference is sponsored by the World Climate Research Program's Global Energy and Water Exchanges (GEWEX) project and by participating satellite agencies, NASA, NOAA, EUMETSAT, JMA and INPE. The conference will feature several invited presentations and is open to contributed papers.
