Southern Appalachian Weather and Climate Workshop 2026

The development of the Southern Appalachian Weather and Climate Workshop is a collaborative effort between the various universities and NOAA/NWS offices of the Southern Appalachian region. Please refer to the SAWC Workshop site for more information.

Goals and Purpose of the Southern Appalachian Weather and Climate (SAWC) Workshop:

The Southern Appalachian Weather and Climate Workshop brings together a diverse group of federal scientists, academic researchers, students, and broadcast media to share research, operations, and communication of weather, water, and climate events. The workshop is interested in a broad range of abstracts concerning weather and climate, and do not necessarily need to be focused on the southern Appalachians.

The conference goals are:

• Promoting interactions and effective communication between research and operations

• Promoting student interactions with the weather enterprise

• Sharing specific uses and research of weather, water, and climate data, information, and predictions.

• Assessing observed or potential weather, water, and climate impacts.

• Identifying gaps in research, operations, or communications of weather hazard and safety information.

• Developing effective partnerships between the Operational and Research community.
