In support of the AmeriFlux “Year of Water Fluxes”, and in collaboration with community representation from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) User Facility and Atmospheric System Research (ASR) program, we are pleased to announce the Open and Virtual Workshop, “Improving understanding of land-atmosphere interactions through integration of surface flux and atmospheric boundary layer measurements”.
The workshop will address the following questions:
- What are the high-priority research questions that can be addressed with existing measurements (e.g., data from AmeriFlux sites with collocated instrumentation for boundary layer measurements, or nearby radiosonde/profile measurements)?
- What new boundary layer measurements should be prioritized, and where? What are the cutting-edge research questions that could be addressed with these new measurements?
- What is needed to increase interdisciplinary collaboration between ecologists/biogeoscientists and atmospheric scientists? How can we best share tools that are necessary to process, analyze, and interpret boundary layer measurements?
- How can this kind of collaboration improve predictive understanding of biosphere-atmosphere interactions and land-atmosphere coupling?
Workshop Format
This will be an online and interactive workshop, hosted through Zoom. Overview talks by global leaders will highlight new and emerging opportunities for research, and inspire vigorous discussion in our breakout groups. Talks will be pre-recorded and streamed during the workshop but will also be available asynchronous viewing. The workshop will include a virtual poster session, and early career scientists, in particular, are encouraged to submit an abstract and bring a poster for presentation via Gather. Abstracts must be submitted and posters uploaded, by May 25. View our agenda.

Registration
Registration will be completely free and open to interested researchers around the World.
The registration portal will open soon, and will close on May 25.
