Event Announcement

ECAS 2020 has been a success! Welcome to the new electronic conference EACS 2023.


Welcome from
the chair

Dear Colleagues,

You are cordially invited to participate in the 3rd International Electronic Conference on Atmospheric Sciences. With this meeting, we hope to build on the first two versions of the conference. We concede that sharing our work face-to-face with our colleagues is preferred, however, the COVID-19 crisis forced many conferences to postpone or cancel their meetings. Technology is continuously improving the virtual experience and we hope to take advantage of the latest developments in order to create a quality online meeting.

For the third electronic conference in atmospheric sciences, the range of topics will remain more general, but we would be open to future meetings or subject areas having a thematic topic of importance. During the last few decades, great strides have been made in all general areas of atmospheric science. We have seen the proliferation of remote sensing technologies and techniques for their use in research and forecasting. We have seen advances in the understanding of synoptic and dynamic meteorology which have improved weather forecasting. Advances in the capabilities of atmospheric modelling as well as increases in computing power have enhanced our understanding of atmospheric behaviors on all time and space scales. Additionally, there have been discoveries related to the behavior of smaller-scale systems, especially those that interact with human activity, health, and economics. These have inspired techniques for warning people that these events could affect them. The increased understanding of interannual and interdecadal variability in 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 correspond to the Atmosphere journal.

  • Aerosols
  • Air Quality
  • Air Quality and Human Health
  • Climatology
  • Meteorology
  • Biometeorology
  • Atmospheric Techniques, Instrumentation, and Modelling
  • Biosphere / Hydrosphere / Land-Atmosphere Interactions
  • Upper Atmosphere
  • Planetary Atmospheres.

Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the conference in MDPI’s online journal, Atmosphere Special Issue "Selected Papers from the Third International Electronic Conference on Atmospheric Sciences" after peer review and enjoy 20% discount on processing fees.

Prof. Dr. Anthony R. Lupo
Chairman of ECAS 2020

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 130 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), American Geophysical Union, Sigma Xi, Gamma Sigma Delta, Phi Kappa Phi, and the Missouri Academy of Science (Fellow). He has won awards for teaching and advising at the University of Missouri, including the College of Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources Senior Teaching Award (2006), the Outstanding Undergraduate Advisor Award (April 2008), and the University of Missouri Kemper Foundation Award for Excellence in Teaching (April 2008). He was awarded the Most Distinguished Scientific Achievement Award by the Missouri Academy of Science (2009), and University of Missouri professor of the year (May, 2010). In October 2013 he was awarded the Outstanding Alum for the year 2013 by the Earth and Atmospheric Science Department at Purdue. He is listed on the Fulbright Specialist Roster (2016-2022), and was part of the scientific committee for the First Conference on Atmospheric Blocking in Reading England (2014-2016).
