We would like to thank all who participated in the Canadian Atmospheric Science Community Workshop, through presentations and discussions and also through our preparatory telecons.  It was a very successful event with more than 50 participants from academia, government and industry attending over the two days.  This community engagement was very strong and this was appreciated by the organizing committee.

In the coming weeks, the organizing committee will be making the presentations from the workshop available and beginning to assemble the report.

As these items are available, we will be posting these on our website.

We are looking forward to an interesting and constructive community workshop next week at the Canadian Space Agency. Here are a few items to review prior to arriving in Saint-Hubert.

• The updated agenda for the workshop has been posted here.
• For the longer-term and infrastructure discussions, we have developed some questions that we would like the participants to consider prior to the workshop. We will be using these as the framework for our discussions. The questions can be found here.
• Remember to bring your government issued identification to go through the CSA security procedures on the first day you arrive. This may take some time for all 50+ attendees to be processed so plan accordingly for our 8:30 AM starting times!

For those who cannot be at the meeting, the instructions for viewing the consortia presentations via webex are given below.

• Day 1 – Webex Instructions
• Day 2 – Webex Instructions

The presentation from this teleconference is available here.

This third telecon will focus on:

1. a review of agenda and plans for workshop;
2. discussion of content for presentations from the self-assembled collaborative teams/consortia;
3. areas for discussion and questions for long-term planning.

The collaborative teams/consortia will be assembled prior to the workshop so that each one may effectively communicate their idea at the workshop. The objective of this approach is to have the most efficient workshop proceedings.

16-17 November 2017

“The Future of Canadian Atmospheric Science from Space”

 Canadian Space Agency Conference Centre,

6767 Route de l’Aéroport, Saint-Hubert, Québec, J3Y 8Y9

 

The Canadian scientific community is invited to participate in a workshop to identify space science and technology  in the field of atmospheric sciences for Canada.  Members of the Canadian academic community (e.g. professors, senior researchers), government scientists and managers, members of Canadian industry and interested international colleagues are invited to attend this 2-day atmospheric science workshop at the Canadian Space Agency.

 Prior to the workshop, we will be holding three preparatory telecons for workshop participants to provide opportunities for preliminary discussions and to enable the workshop to be as productive as possible

 See the workshop page for more details

In preparation for the Canadian Atmospheric Science Community Workshop to be held at the CSA on 16-17 November 2017, and as previously mentioned in the “Save the Date” announcement, we will be having our first telecon for all those interested in participating in the workshop on Friday 6 October from 13:00-14:00 EDT.

The telecons prior to the workshop are crucial to the effectiveness of the workshop so all are encouraged to attend.

This first telecon will focus on:

1. a brief review of the CSA’s existing Atmospheric Science missions;
2. the purpose and approach for workshop; and
3. discussion for formation of the self-assembled collaborative teams/consortia (from academia, government and industry).

The collaborative teams/consortia will be assembled prior to the workshop so that each one may effectively communicate their idea at the workshop.  The objective of this approach is to have the most efficient workshop proceedings.
