The Southern Appalachian Weather and Climate Workshop, held April 14-15 in Highsmith Union, brings together a diverse group of federal, academic, students, and broadcast media to share research, operations, and communication of weather, water, and climate events. The workshop will cover a broad range of topics concerning weather, water and climate, with oral and poster presentations throughout the event.

The development of the Southern Appalachian Weather and Climate Workshop is a collaborative effort between the various Universities and NOAA/NWS offices of the Southern Appalachian region.  Please refer to the Planning Committee menu page for more information.

The conference goals are:

• Promoting interactions and effective communication between research and operations
• Promoting student interactions with the weather enterprise
• Sharing specific uses and research of weather, water, and climate data, information, and predictions.
• Assessing observed or potential weather, water, and climate impacts.
• Identifying gaps in research, operations, or communications of weather hazard and safety information.
• Developing effective partnerships between the Operational and Research community.
