This two-day symposium will foster scientific exchange in the fields of convection and clouds and climate modeling, to honor the contributions of Professor Akio Arakawa. A set of invited talks will provide the broad context for discussion and poster sessions that reflect the advancements and explore new directions in the areas to which he contributed, and to engage and inspire students and early career scientists to pursue careers in climate modeling and related areas. A public lecture aimed at a broad audience will be given by Professor Kerry Emanuel of MIT.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Professor Arakawa was a pioneer in the development of atmospheric global circulation models, which now are essential tools for both weather forecasting and climate change studies. He was an inspiring and generous mentor for his students and co-researchers. His scientific papers are models of clarity. His graduate-level classes were challenging and rewarding. He trained and inspired multiple generations of researchers and leaders in the field of global atmospheric models. This symposium will provide a great opportunity for current students and early career scientists nationwide to interact with leading scientists in the field of atmospheric and climate modeling, and to learn from Prof. Arakawa\u2019s career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attendance is open to the community. We encourage abstract submissions from anyone with relevant research, though a presentation is not required to attend the symposium. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
