Following the success of the fourth International Summer Snowfall Workshop held in Leipzig in 2023, we are organizing a fifth workshop this year.

These workshops are a meeting place for a relatively small, focussed community with interests in topics such as:

Ice-phase microphysical processes - progress using observations, laboratory studies or numerical modelling
Scattering properties of snowflakes and their connection to their microphysical characteristics
Remote sensing of ice particles and snowfall, and assimilation of such observations into forecasts
New technologies and techniques for sampling snow microphysics

Key dates:

A form for abstract submission, along with more information on the venue, programme etc will be posted on this website as it becomes available

Organisers: Chris Westbrook, Karina McCusker, Stefan Kneifel, Dmitri Moisseev, Maximilian Maahn, Nina Maherndl, Paul Ockenfuß
