International Symposium
on Mesoscale and Sub-mesoscale Processes in the Hydrosphere and the Atmosphere
(MSP - 2018)

Dear colleagues!

We invite scientists, engineers, postgraduate and students to participate in the International Symposium on Mesoscale and Sub-mesoscale Processes in the Hydrosphere and the Atmosphere (MSP - 2018). The Symposium dedicated to the 90th anniversary of Corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Sciences K.N. Fedorov will be held on 30 October - 2 November, 2018 in Moscow at Shirshov Institute of Oceanology RAS.

Symposium organizers:

• Shirshov Institute of Oceanology, Russian Academy of Sciences (with the assistance of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research);
• S.Yu. Witte Moscow University

The basic scientific and technical directions of the Symposium:

1. Physical and dynamic mesoscale and sub-mesoscale processes and phenomena in the hydrosphere and atmosphere;
2. Hydrosphere and atmosphere interaction: the role of mesoscale processes;
3. Investigation of mesoscale and sub-mesoscale processes in the hydrosphere and atmosphere by remote sensing methods;
4. Numerical and laboratory modeling of mesoscale and sub-mesoscale processes and phenomena in the hydrosphere and atmosphere;
5. Operational oceanography and information technologies;
6. Instruments and methods for studying the hydrosphere and atmosphere.

Key dates:

• June 14, 2018 – start of registration for the Symposium;
• September 1, 2018 deadline for registration and submission of abstracts;
• September 20, 2018 sending invitations;
