A SYMPOSIUM IN HONOR OF
SYUKURO MANABE

18-20 March 1998
Princeton, New Jersey, USA

Jointly sponsored by
Princeton University's Atmospheric
and Oceanic Sciences Program (AOSP),
The Princeton Environmental Institute (PEI), and
The Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (NOAA/GFDL).

Take a look at the Manabe Banquet Haiku Contest finalists.

This scientific colloquium honored Suki Manabe's remarkable achievements during his career in climate modeling. Approximately 20 invited speakers discussed their recent work or provided an overview of their area of expertise. The mix of 30-minute talks highlighted some of the most important current developments in many aspects of climate change, including climate modeling, observational diagnostics, paleoclimate, and interactions among the various elements that together constitute the coupled climate system.

The two and one-half day meeting took place on March 18-20, 1998, with a banquet in Suki's honor on the evening of the 19th.
