The CPAS workshop brings together a diverse group of climate applications researchers, climate product producers, and users to share developments in research and applications related to the use of climate predictions in societal decision-making.

In conjunction with the National Weather Service Climate Services Division, the Oklahoma Climatological Survey (OCS) at the University of Oklahoma will host the 7th Climate Prediction Applications Science Workshop (CPASW) at the National Weather Center facility in Norman, OK on March 24-27, 2009.

The CPAS workshop brings together a diverse group of climate applications researchers, climate product producers, and users to share developments in research and applications related to the use of climate predictions in societal decision-making. The meeting goals:

  1. to identify new climate prediction applications research,
  2. to “build community” by promoting interactions between integrated climate-sensitive research and service communities,
  3. to assess impacts of climate forecasts on environmental-societal interactions,
  4. to provide feedback to producers of climate products on user requirements.
Important Note: The workshop will not address technical challenges of making climate predictions, climate modeling, or other technical topics related to the science of climate predictions.
