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年AMS山区气象会议之前，将举办一个山区气象讲习班，为教师、预报员、研究生和其他对山区气象学感兴趣的人提供一个独特的学习机会。 讲习班的一个主要目标是通过提供一个广泛讨论和联合教育的论坛，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演讲，几次小组讨论机会，并将以一天的实验室练习结束。自上次举办类似讲习班以来，山区气象学领域在过去二十年中有了很大的发展。 研讨会将使与会者广泛了解复杂地形上驱动气流的基本原理，并为研究人员和预报员提供最近发展的历史背景和未来方向。 对于学术研究人员，研讨会将提供一个独特的机会，参与预测界，这将导致更好地了解当今预报员的技术需求，包括了解悬而未决的问题和需要的研究，并获得当前的认识理论和数值模型的实际局限性。 对于预测界，研讨会将提供有关山区特有的流动基本原理的培训，这些流动众所周知难以预测，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展。大约12个讲座与广泛的讨论会将给予这将提供一个全面的概述重要的和新兴的主题在山区气象学。 讲习班的成果将通过出版一本关于山区气象学的气象学专著加以传播，该专著将由美国气象学会出版。预计这本专著将广泛用于大学和预报办公室的山区天气课程，也可作为研究人员、预报员和学生的一般参考书。
