Welcome from the Chair

Dear Colleagues,

You are cordially invited to participate in the 8th International Electronic Conference on Atmospheric Sciences. ECAS-7 was the best year for the conference yet, featuring more video sessions, talks, and recorded presentations than previous years. I hope that with increased participation, we can continue to provide more live and recorded video forums. Technology is continuously improving the virtual experience, and we hope to take advantage of the latest developments to maintain the quality of our online meetings. Additionally, the virtual experience allows us to stretch our conference budgets and increase our interactions.

For the 8th International Electronic Conference on Atmospheric Sciences, the range of topics will remain general, but we are open to subject areas with a thematic topic of importance, especially interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary science. During the last few decades, great strides have been made in all areas of atmospheric science. We have seen the proliferation of remote sensing technologies, their instrumentation, and techniques for their use in research and operational weather forecasting. We have seen advances in the understanding of synoptic and dynamic meteorology which have greatly improved weather forecasting. The concern over climate change and an increase in the societal impacts of severe and unusual weather occurrences had led to more cross-disciplinary collaborations with the social sciences. Advances in the capabilities of atmospheric modelling, as well as increases in computing power, have enhanced our understanding of atmospheric behaviours at every temporal and spatial scale.

Additionally, there have been discoveries related to the behaviour of smaller-scale systems, especially those that interact or intersect with human activity, health, and economics. These have inspired new techniques for warning people that these events could affect them. The increased understanding of interannual and interdecadal variability in our climate has also led to the development of long-range forecasting and projection. In conclusion, this conference will be organized around the following general and related themes, which align with the scope of the Atmosphere journal:

1. Air Quality and Human Health
2. Meteorology
3. Aerosols
4. Climatology
5.Air Pollution Control
6. Upper Atmosphere
7. Atmospheric Techniques, Instruments and Modeling

This event will be an entirely online proceeding, which allows for participation from all over the world. Attendance of and participation in this online conference are free of charge. Accepted short proceedings papers will be published in the proceedings of the conference in MDPI’s online journal Environmental and Earth Sciences Proceedings after they have been peer reviewed.

Introduction
Bio
Dr. Anthony R. Lupo is a Professor of Atmospheric Sciences in the Soil, Environmental, and Atmospheric Sciences Department at the University of Missouri. He earned his BS in Meteorology from the State University of New York at Oswego in 1988 and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Purdue University in 1991 and 1995, respectively. His research has been in the areas of large-scale atmospheric dynamics, climate dynamics, and climate change, including modeling, and he has more than 140 peer-reviewed publications between each of these areas. Additionally, he edited and contributed to the book Recent Hurricane Research: Climate, Dynamics, and Societal Impacts (published in 2011), and in 2014, 2015, and 2018, he was the Lead Guest Editor of the publication “Advances in Meteorology Special Issue: Large-Scale Dynamics, Anomalous Flows, and Teleconnections”. He has been a member of the American Meteorological Society since 1987 (Certified Consulting Meteorologist #660) and the National Weather Association since 1998. As a CCM, he served on the governing board from 2014–2017, serving as Board Chair during 2017. He was a Fulbright Scholar during the summer of 2004 to Russia, studying climate change at the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow. He won Fulbright scholarships to teach and research at Belgorod State National Research University in Russia for 2014–2015 and fall 2017. Additionally, he has served as an expert reviewer and/or contributing author to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) (sponsored by the United Nations, World Meteorological Organization). His other professional associations include the Royal Meteorological Society (Fellow), the American Geophysical Union, Sigma Xi, Gamma Sigma Delta, Phi Kappa Phi, and the Missouri Academy of Science (Fellow).

Registration


The registration for ECAS-8 will be free of charge! The registration includes attendance to all conference sessions.

If you are registering several people under the same registration, please do not use the same email address for each person, but their individual university email addresses. Thank you for your understanding.

Please note that the submission and registration are two separate parts. Only scholars who registered can receive a link to access the conference live streaming. The deadline for registration is the 7 October 2026.

Instructions for Authors

Procedure for Submission
ECAS-8 will accept abstracts only. The accepted abstracts will be available online on Sciforum.net during and after the conference.

Abstract Submission
Abstract submissions should be completed online by registering with www.sciforum.net and using the "Submit Abstract" function on conference homepage. No physical template is necessary.

1. The abstract structure should include the introduction, methods, results, and conclusions sections of about 200–300 words in length.
2. All abstracts should be submitted and presented in clear, publication-ready English with accurate grammar and spelling.
3. You may submit multiple abstracts. However, only one abstract will be selected for oral presentation.
