In February 2011, the Meteorological Society of New Zealand and the Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society will be holding a joint conference in Wellington covering many aspects of meteorological and oceanographic research in the Australasian region.  This will be the AMOS Annual Conference for 2011, following on from the very successful 2010 annual conference we held in Canberra earlier this year.

The meeting will include six special sessions each with a keynote address:

• Extreme weather in the Australasian region – from floods to droughts
• Impact and meteorology of the main climate drivers (ENSO, SAM, Monsoon)
• Using high resolution models to understand local meteorology
• Oceanography of the Australasian region
• Climate change in the Australasian region
• Riskscape - Impact of weather on disaster planning in the Australasian region

However papers on any topic related to the Atmospheric Sciences (including composition) and Oceanography of the Australasian region will be considered.

Further information, abstract and registration details will be forwarded to all AMOS members in the coming weeks. In the meantime, should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me on admin_officer@amos.org.au.
