Due to the ongoing Corona pandemic, we have decided to postpone the 36th International Conference on Alpine Meteorology (ICAM). We will let you know as soon as more details on the new date will be available.

We would however like to ask you to keep 7 to 11 June 2021 marked in your calendars: We plan to use this week to organise a short online-event to allow for the international community interested in Alpine meteorology and climatology to (virtually) meet and exchange. Again, we will let you know as soon as more news become available.

We are pleased to announce the 36th International Conference on Alpine Meteorology (ICAM).
It will take place from (tbd) in St. Gallen, in the eastern part of Switzerland.

Papers on all aspects of mountain weather and climate are welcome, including but not limited to:

• Dynamics of dry and moist orographically forced airflow

• Boundary layer processes over complex terrain

• Orographic clouds and precipitation

• Recent and future field campaigns

• Challenges in weather forecasting in mountainous areas

• Numerical weather prediction over complex terrain (incl. data assimilation and predictability studies)

• Mountain climates and impacts of global warming

• Meteorological processes affecting air quality, water resources, renewable energy harvesting, ecosystems, urban environment and infrastructures

The conference is jointly organised by the Federal Office of Meteorology and Climatology MeteoSwiss and ETH Zurich. It will be held at the Conference Hotel Einstein.

The buttons will start to work from (tbd) onwards.
