The 2nd ams symposium on the joint center for satellite data assimilation
94th annual ams meeting
February 2-6, 2014 - atlanta, GA

The Joint Center has agreed with the American Meteorological Society to arrange a "Second Symposium on the Joint Center for Satellite Data Assimilation" as part of the "Tenth Annual Symposium on New Generation Operational Environmental Satellite Systems" during the 2014 AMS Annual Meeting in Atlanta.

The JCSDA Symposium will take place Monday, February 3 to Thursday, February 6, and will primarily focus on the scientific and technical activities of the JCSDA and its partners. The JCSDA Symposium Poster Session is scheduled for Wednesday, February 5, and talks co-hosted by the JCSDA Symposium and the Symposium on New Generation Operational Environmental Satellite Systems will occur on Thursday, February 6.

More information on the JCSDA Symposium, and a full schedule of events, can be found at the AMS web program for the Second Symposium on the Joint Center for Satellite Data Assimilation.

For additional information please contact the program chairperson, Lars Peter Riishojgaard, JCSDA (Lars.P.Riishojgaard@nasa.gov), or Jim Yoe, JCSDA (James.G.Yoe@noaa.gov).
