Key 10 (Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor)
Host: 28th Conference on Applied Climatology
Cochairs:

Weather and climate influence nearly every aspect of our world. From ecosystems to human health, air quality, oceanography, energy usage, water resources, agriculture, transportation, climate change, and more, the atmosphere plays a leading role in shaping our natural and built environments. Applied climatology aims to identify and explain these relationships between the atmosphere and other human or environmental ‘outcomes’ of interest at a variety of spatial and temporal scales. This session welcomes research from the broad spectrum of applied studies in meteorology and climatology, including theoretical, modeling, and forecasting-based research. In particular, we encourage contributions that explore the interactions between synoptic-scale weather/climate processes and the various human and environmental phenomena affected by them, including the development and application of climate classifications.
