A mountain weather workshop will be offered prior to the 2008 AMS Mountain Meteorology conference to provide a unique learning opportunity for faculty, forecasters, graduate students, and others interested in mountain meteorology. A major goal of the workshop is to bridge the gap between the research and forecasting communities by providing a forum for extended discussion and joint education. The workshop will consist of lectures given by distinguished speakers, several group discussion opportunities, and will conclude with a day of laboratory exercises. The field of mountain meteorology has evolved greatly in the last two decades since the last similar workshop was held. The workshop will provide participants with a broad understanding of the fundamental principles driving flow over complex terrain and provide historical context for recent developments and future direction for researchers and forecasters. For academic researchers, the workshop will provide a unique opportunity to engage with the forecasting community, which will lead to a better understanding of the technical needs of today's forecasters, including learning about outstanding questions and needed research, and gaining awareness of current practical limitations of theoretical and numerical models. For the forecasting community, the workshop will provide training on fundamentals of flows specific to mountainous regions which are notoriously difficult to predict, understanding of current research challenges, and an opportunity to learn about the latest contributions and advancements to the field. About 12 lectures with extensive discussion sessions will be given which will provide a comprehensive overview of important and emerging topics in mountain meteorology. Results of the workshop will be disseminated via the publication of a meteorological monograph on mountain meteorology which will be published by the American Meteorological Society (AMS). It is anticipated that the monograph will be used extensively in mountain weather courses at universities and forecast offices and also used as a general reference book for researchers, forecasters, and students.

在2008 AMS山气象学会议之前，将提供山地天气研讨会，为教职员工，预报员，研究生以及对山气象学感兴趣的其他人提供独特的学习机会。 研讨会的主要目标是通过提供一个扩展讨论和联合教育的论坛来弥合研究与预测社区之间的差距。研讨会将包括由杰出演讲者提供的讲座，几个小组讨论机会，并以实验室的练习结束。自上次类似的研讨会举行以来，在过去的二十年中，山区气象学领域的发展很大。 该研讨会将为参与者提供对驱动复杂地形流动的基本原则的广泛理解，并为研究人员和预报员的最新发展和未来指导提供历史背景。 对于学术研究人员而言，研讨会将为与预测社区互动提供独特的机会，这将使人们对当今预报员的技术需求有更好的了解，包括了解杰出的问题和所需的研究，并认识到当前对理论和数字模型的实际限制。 对于预测社区，研讨会将为众所周知，这些山区特定的流量的基础知识提供培训，这些流程很难预测，了解当前的研究挑战，并有机会了解该领域的最新贡献和进步。将进行大约12个讲座，并进行广泛的讨论会议，这将为山气象学中的重要和新兴主题提供全面的概述。 研讨会的结果将通过出版《山区气象学》的出版，该学会将由美国气象学会（AMS）发表。预计该专着将在大学和预测办公室的山区天气课程中广泛使用，并用作研究人员，预报员和学生的一般参考书。
