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.

2008 年 AMS 山地气象学会议之前将举办山地天气研讨会，为教师、预报员、研究生和其他对山地气象感兴趣的人提供独特的学习机会。 研讨会的主要目标是通过提供扩展讨论和联合教育的论坛来弥合研究界和预测界之间的差距。研讨会将包括杰出演讲者的讲座、几次小组讨论机会，并以一天的实验室练习结束。自上次举办类似研讨会以来，山地气象学领域在过去二十年中取得了巨大发展。 该研讨会将使参与者对复杂地形上驱动流动的基本原理有广泛的了解，并为研究人员和预报人员提供近期发展的历史背景和未来方向。 对于学术研究人员来说，研讨会将提供一个与预测界互动的独特机会，这将有助于更好地了解当今预测者的技术需求，包括了解悬而未决的问题和所需的研究，并了解当前预测的实际局限性。理论和数值模型。 对于预测界来说，研讨会将为众所周知难以预测的山区特有的流量基础知识提供培训，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展。大约有 12 个讲座和广泛的讨论会，全面概述山地气象学中的重要和新兴主题。 研讨会的成果将通过出版一本关于山地气象学的气象专着来传播，该专着将由美国气象学会（AMS）出版。预计该专着将广泛用于大学和预报机构的山区天气课程，也可作为研究人员、预报员和学生的一般参考书。
