CLIMATE PREDICTION APPLICATIONS SCIENCE WORKSHOP
MARCH 4-7, 2008
CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA

The National Weather Service Climate Services Division, in conjunction 
with the Southeast Regional Climate Center at the University of North 
Carolina, will host the 6th Climate Prediction Applications Science 
Workshop (CPASW) in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, on March 4-7, 2008.

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.

The workshop will not address technical challenges of making climate 
predictions, climate modeling, or other technical topics related to the 
science of climate predictions.
