GMAO Takes Hold in the Windy City
01.31.2023
Representatives from NASA’s Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) presented at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting 2022, held in Chicago, Illinois. This is the first time AGU has been held in what’s known as the Windy City. Thankfully, mid-December did not bring the extreme cold and snow with which the city can be associated; in fact, it was relatively mild.
The theme for AGU Fall 2022 was Science Leads the Future. The event brought together more than 25,000 participants from over 100 countries. As in recent years, AGU provided a virtual option for both presenters and attendees.
The GMAO has a strong presence, with presentation and poster topics ranging from the uncertainty in atmospheric river detection to the global burden of tropospheric ozone. The list of the scheduled oral and poster presentations by GMAO members is below. PDF versions of the posters can be found at https://gmao.gsfc.nasa.gov/pubs/index.php?sel=posters&yr=2022
