The 4th Workshop of the
Canadian CloudSat/CALIPSO Validation Project

November 27-28, 2007
Canadian Space Agency Headquarters
St. Hubert, Quebec (suburban Montreal)

Directions to CSA headquarters
Local area hotels listing

With the completion of the field portion of the C3VP earlier this year (www.c3vp.org), the Canadian Space Agency is hosting a workshop to discuss all aspects of the field project and application areas. The workshop is organized around the theme of cold season cloud systems.

Topics for consideration include status and results from the field observations, status of CloudSat retrievals and associated applications, CALIPSO applications, GPM analysis and applications, and links between the programs/measurements. Noteworthy is that one session will be devoted to an open discussion on the way forward with future cold season validation experiments for CloudSat and on future missions such as GPM and EarthCARE.
