HIWeather participants form an international network of scientists, in a wide variety of disciplines, all concerned with aspects of the production and communication of weather-related warnings.

The workshop is aimed at anyone interested in improving weather-related warnings, whether as a research scientist, operational forecaster or any manager responsible for weather-related risks to health, property, environment and economy.


We invite abstracts for the three one-day workshops on core topics of HIWeather:

  •  “Towards the perfect warning”: Submissions are invited on the role of partnerships in facilitating effective creation and communication of warning information. Information on plans for a HIWeather book of this title is at http://hiweather.net/Lists/21.html


 

Further information:

  •  For more information on HIWeather visit http://hiweather.net
  •  Each of the three one-day workshops will consist of one-hour plenary sessions separated by one-hour breaks during which participants may join break-out groups to continue the discussion of a particular presentation or to prepare workshop outputs.
  •  Each day will start at noon, New Zealand time, and conclude at noon, US Mountain time, so as to accommodate participation across time zones. We encourage participants to join at least two one-hour sessions and preferably more.
  •  Presenters will provide their paper/presentation in advance, give a 10-minute overview during the session, and be available to discuss their paper later in the session and in the succeeding break period.
  •  Remote participation in the workshop will use MS Teams and BlueJeans.
  •  Only registered participants will have access to the online seminars and workshop sessions.
