Upcoming Annual Monsoon Workshop and Heatwave Symposium 2024

Annual Monsoon Workshop
and National Symposium on
“Understanding the science of heatwaves under the warming scenario and challenges ahead”

Organized by:
Indian Meteorological Society, Pune Chapter (IMSP)
(In association with Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, India Meteorological Department, & Ocean Society of India)

The annual flagship activity of the IMSP, the Annual Monsoon Workshop , was organized on 18^th March 2024 at the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), Pune. The workshop discussed various aspects of the southwest and northeast monsoon seasons of 2023, including different climatic features and forecasts on a subseasonal to seasonal scale. Following the workshop, a National Symposium on Understanding the Science of Heatwaves Under the Warming Scenario and Challenges Ahead was held on 19^th March 2024. The symposium featured invited lectures by field experts and participatory contributions in the form of oral and poster presentations.

Themes for the National Symposium

Theme 1:	Observational evidence of Heatwave trends.
Theme 2:	The science of heatwave and heat stress: regional and global.
Theme 3:	Model simulations and latest approaches in heatwave prediction including AI/ML.
Theme 4:	Improvement in heatwave projections at sub-regional scale.
Theme 5:	Effective translation of science of heatwaves for community guidance.
Theme 6:	Impact of heatwave on health, agricultural, power, transport, water and urban planning .
Theme 7:	Understanding marine heatwaves and its economic impact..
