USGS-FAU Precipitation Downscaling Technical Meeting
June 22 & 23, 2015
Florida Atlantic University Davie Campus
Tentative Agenda
Overview : This event provided an opportunity for climate modelers/downscalers to (a) inform other scientists and decision-makers what downscaling products are feasible today, and (b) learn from other scientists and decision-makers what downscaling products are desired such that future downscaling efforts may be tailored to ‘user’ needs.
Location – This meeting was held on the Davie Campus of Florida Atlantic University - 3200 College Avenue, Davie, FL 33314. The meeting was in Room 109 (Heritage Hall) in the Student Union building. Find more information on the Logistics page.
