Thank you for your interest in attending our workshop.  The tentative program is now available.  We ask that you  register online. as soon as possible and certainly by 19 February.   A second flier will be mailed in a few weeks.  As you will see in the program, the first day will deal with orographic precipitation, radar,  hydrological modeling, flooding, and other water-related issues.  The second day will consider regional mesoscale forecasting, regional weather features, the results from major West Coast field programs, and ENSO/PDO relationships with west coast weather.

Registration Info:

This year there will be a $6.00 registration fee (except $3.00 for students) to cover refreshments and additional miscellaneous costs. You can pay this when you arrive.  In addition, we have arranged for lunch service on Saturday in the NOAA cafeteria. The price will be about $6.00. This is a good deal and we strongly encourage you to join us, as there are very few eating options near NOAA and we have only allowed one hour for lunch.
