Due to the ongoing pandemic, the 2020 CFMIP meeting will be held online. Each day's 1.5 hour session will feature 2-3 invited speakers and discussion moderated by the session conveners. All sessions will be available both live at 08:00AM Colorado (UTC-6) and recorded. We will encourage and provide suggestions for "local hubs", i.e., groups of scientists who discuss/present at times and within forums that are locally convenient.
At registration, all will be invited to submit a figure with a short written summary to be displayed on the meeting website and used for discussion as a part of the sessions and at local hubs. Registration will open on 03 August 2020 and close on 07 September 2020.

Community Contribution
We have a plan to offer contributions of a single slide of figure/caption from all who register. These slides can be viewed here and also can be a part of the local hubs/invited talks.
Local Hubs
Do you miss seeing old friends or getting new ideas at coffee breaks at the past CFMIP meetings? Virtual meetings could never replace in-person meetings, but we hope local hubs could connect some of us.
There are no rules for the hubs! They can be as small as a group meeting or as large as a formal workshop within the CFMIP virtual workshop. They can be in person, for places that are allowed to gather, or on-line. It could be a gathering of watching the recorded invited talks, especially for places where the meeting time is too late to watch live, followed by more discussions or a mini-workshop with contributed talks.
Below is a list of tentative local hubs. Feel free to join one of them or host one to discuss your favorite topic! Please contact Yen-Ting Hwang at ythwang@ntu.edu.tw if you are up for hosting one and we'll add your hub to the list.
