Project has strong presence in Argentine Meteorology Congress

Several project investigators participated in the 10th Argentine Meteorological Congress, CONGREMET X, that took place in Buenos Aires, 5-9 October 2009.

Three posters were presented at a session on climate variability. Maru Skansi characterized the spatial extent and duration of the 2008 drought using the standarized precipitation index (SPI). Federico Bert presented a framework for exploring agricultural outcomes of plausible climate scenarios 25-30 years into the future. Yongku Kim, Rick Katz and Balaji Rajagopalan described an approach to enhance the generation of synthetic climate series by reducing “overdispersion.” Angel Menéndez made a presentation during a panel on water resources, and Claudia Natenzon led a panel on climate disasters and vulnerability.
