ICAE Spring 2000 News LetterCONFERENCES* * *9th INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON GASEOUS DIELECTRICSThe 9th International Symposium on Gaseous Dielectrics will be held May 21-25 2001, at Turf Valley Resort & Conference Center, Ellicott City, Maryland, USA. The purpose of this symposium is to provide a forum for review and discussion of the progress and problems of current interest in gaseous dielectrics and their use, especially as insulators in high-voltage equipment and substation. The symposium also will stress the use of SF6, fluorocarbons and other dielectric gases in plasma processing. For technical and general conference information, please contact the local organizing committee: National Institute of Standards and Technology, 100 Bureau Drive, Stop 8113, Gaithersburg, MD 20899-8113, USA, Fax: (301) 948-5796.

Papers on all research topics related to clouds and precipitation will be presented, including papers on i.) microphysics of clouds and precipitation, ii.) cloud dynamics and structure, iii.) cloud-climate interactions, iv.) modeling of cloud-scale processes, v.) cloud processes and the mesoscale, vi) interactions between clouds and atmospheric chemistry, vii.) instrumentation for cloud physics research, and viii.) applications of cloud physics and cloud parameterization. Papers are also welcome on the electrification process and the nucleation of water in the atmosphere as they specifically relate to cloud physics. The deadline for abstracts was 1 December 1999.
