The 3rd APRS(Asia Pacific Radiation Symposium) 2010

Date: August 26 -28, 2010

Venue: Sangnam Institute of Management, Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea

Conference website: TBD

On behalf of APRS2010 Organizing Committee, it is our great pleasure to inform you that the 3rd Asian-Pacific Radiation Symposium (APRS) will be held in Seoul, Korea from August 26 to 28, 2010. The aims of this symposium are to promote scientific researches related to the atmospheric radiation in the Asia-Pacific region and collaboration among the scientists, and to encourage young scientists in this region.

The 1st Asian-Pacific Radiation Symposium (APRS) was held in 2003 in Xian, China. In the conference, there was a proposal for continued efforts of regularly holding the symposium every four years to encourage and promote radiation studies in the Asian-Pacific regions. This series of symposia has been recognized by the International Radiation Commission (IAMAS/IRC) as a daughter program of International Radiation Symposium (IRS).

The 2nd APRS was held in July 31 – August 2, 2006 in Kanazawa, Japan, which established a basis to continue and expand the meeting in the region, with an emphasis on the participation of young scientists in particular.

Sessions: This is the solicitation of the paper submission for the 3rd APRS thus organized. We welcome submission of abstracts in following areas:

(1) Interactions of radiation with clouds, aerosols and their climate impact

(2) Ground based, aircraft and satellite remote sensing of clouds, aerosol, trace gases and surface properties

(3) Observational and theoretical studies of earth radiation budget

(4) Advanced radiation parameterizations in numerical models

(5) Observational and theoretical studies including nonspherical particle scattering and 3-D radiative transfer

(6) Others

How to submit: One page abstract can be electronically submitted to the first convenor for the session in interest by using the provided e-mail address.

Submission deadline: April 30, 2010
