I am pleased to announce that the first World Weather Open Science Conference (WWOSC-2014 - The weather: what’s the outlook?) will be held in Montreal, Canada, from 16 to 21 August 2014.

The overarching theme of WWOSC-2014 is ‘Seamless Prediction of the Earth System: from minutes to months’. The Conference is structured around two programs:

The Science Program will cover basic weather research that extends our knowledge of processes and systems as well as the applied research needed to put prediction systems together and assess the impacts of weather and climate events.

The User, Application & Social Science Program will consider the goods and services economy and the role of government in disaster risk reduction and management and the communication of weather information.

We would like to count on your help in promoting this event and ensure it could be as successful as possible. We have therefore identified below five specific areas where you could provide assistance:

1. Website promotion by posting the attached web button linking to the Conference website at www.wwosc2014.org

2. Promotion of the event with an email to your existing list of contacts and/or membership

3. Announcement pertaining to WWOSC 2014 in an upcoming Newsletter published by your organization (we have provided the text to use in the attached document)

4. Promotion of the event while attending upcoming events using printed copies of the attached postcard (you can request copies of this product by email at wwosc2014@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca

5. Ongoing support in communicating the latest news regarding the event in future newsletters, event calendar, re-tweet of posting at https://twitter.com/search?q=%23wwosc2014&src=hash

To coordinate this, we would greatly appreciate if you could provide the name of person that would be our point of contact in your organization to Sylvie Couture, Conference Manager, at sylvie.couture@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca

We thank you in advance for your help in promoting this very important event.
