36th Congress, Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society (CMOS)
Rimouski, Quebec, Canada

The theme of the congress is the Northern Environment, with
presentations by internationally known keynote speakers and by
scientists and students from across Canada and abroad. We welcome oral

oceanography, and hydrology dealing with all aspects of the Northern
Environment, such as, the dynamic and variability of the cryosphere, the
exchanges between the atmosphere and ocean, the carbon cycle,
contaminants, and all studies dealing with the limnology,
biogeochemistry, and chemistry in arctic and subarctic ecosystems,
including fjords, polynyas, marginal sea-ice zones, and the boreal
forest. Contributions are also welcomed in all fields of meteorology,
climatology, oceanography and hydrology, such as boundary layers, cloud
physics, energy and radiation, measurement methods, marine forecasting
or operational meteorology, climate modeling, and climate change and
variability including paleoclimatology.
