General Information

The ECSS 2007 will be held in Trieste, Italy, from 10 to 14 September 2007. The conference is organized by Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) and Regional Agency for the Environmental Protection of Friuli Venezia Giulia (ARPA FVG).

The conference is devoted to all the aspects related to the convective severe weather phenomena. All researchers, forecasters and risk managers interested in the following topics are invited to apply. According to the global relevance of the conference themes, scientists from all over the world are encouraged to participate, in particular those from developing countries are welcome.

According to the ICTP policy, registration is free-of-charge.

The ECSS 2007 will cover the following topics:

    Theory on convection, instability and forcing
    Case studies on hailstorms, heavy precipitation, lightning, tornadoes and straight line winds
    Numerical simulations in particular on mesoscale domains and by clouds resolving models
    Severe storms and satellite information
    Severe storms and RADAR information
    Forecasting and nowcasting of severe storms
    Climatology and databases of severe storms and related weather phenomena
    Severe storms and climate change
    Microphysics and electrification in severe storms
    Social, economical and cultural aspects of severe storms
    Movies and pictures of convective severe weather phenomena
