• Applications of mountain meteorology (e.g. air quality, fire dynamics, and wind resource assessment)
• Mountain climate and hydrology
• Biosphere-atmosphere interactions in complex terrain
• New or emerging topics in mountain meteorology
• Results from recent field campaigns

 An abstract fee of $95 (payable by credit card or purchase order) was charged at the time of submission (refundable only if abstract is not accepted).
