Papers are now being accepted for the following session at the joint

Session I11: Hydrometeorological Prediction in Cold Regions and Seasons
Session description:
The cold regions, including high mountains, high latitudes, and cold
seasons that are dominated by snow cover, remain a considerable
challenge in environmental modeling. Improving the operation of models
for cold regions and seasons is highly relevant because of their
importance as water sources for both stream flow and oceanic freshwater,
and because of the strong influence of snow cover extent and duration on
the atmospheric system. This session encourages papers that address a)
improved understanding of key processes relating to the hydrometeorology
of cold regions and seasons; b) new parameterizations of land surface
hydrology and snow processes that control the coupled
atmospheric-hydrological system in cold regions; and c) validating and
improving models for water, snow, weather, and climate systems leading
to better prediction and simulation of related atmospheric impacts on
water resources and surface climates in cold regions and seasons.
Session conveners:
