The 10th Conference on Polar Meteorology and Oceanography, sponsored by
the American Meteorological Society, cosponsored by the AMS Board on
Societal Impacts, and organized by the AMS Polar Meteorology and
Oceanography Committee, will be held 18-21 May 2009, at the Madison
Concourse Hotel, in Madison, Wisconsin. Preliminary programs,
registration details, general information, and hotel accommodations are
posted on the AMS conference website:
http://www.ametsoc.org/MEET/fainst/200910polar.html.
Papers are solicited on all aspects of polar meteorology and
oceanography, including forecasting, climate (past, present, and
future), interactions among polar atmosphere-ocean-land-ice components,
cryospheric processes, atmospheric and oceanic dynamics, human
dimensions, and extreme events. A special session is planned to
highlight contributions from the International Polar Year (March
2007 - March 2009).
A $90 abstract fee includes the abstract submission, extended abstract
posting, and presentation uploading and recording, which will be
archived on the AMS conference website. A CD-ROM will not be produced,
allowing for a later extended abstract submission deadline.

guidelines are available at the conference website:
http://www.ametsoc.org/MEET/fainst/200910polar.html. The $90 abstract
