Final GSWP Presentations and Workshop

The final meeting of this GSWP (which, we expect, will be reincarnated after the ISLSCP Initiative II data are released in early 1998) has been set for February 1997 in conjunction with the Second Conference on Hydrology at the AMS Annual Meeting in Long Beach, California. There will be a special session on the Global Soil Wetness Project at the meeting, and there will also be a one-day final workshop on Friday, 7 February at the AMS venue. Everyone is encouraged to attend, and also to submit abstracts for the GSWP special session. The AMS deadline for abstracts is 1 July 1996. At this point, most participants will have to be very vague and speculative about results, but describe in some detail the work you are doing. The deadline for camera-ready manuscripts (for inclusion in the preprint volume) is 15 September 1996.
