The 2nd International Limb Workshop is organised by the Department of Meteorology at Stockholm University and will be held in Stockholm  on October 11-14, 2004 (Monday to Thursday). This year's meeting is sponsored by the International Meteorological Institute in Stockholm. The workshop is held under the auspices of SPARC and IGAC.

Objectives

The 1st International UV/Vis Limb-Scattering Workshop was held in Bremen in April 2003.  ENVISAT The workshop brought together scientists involved in remote sensing techniques with a particular focus on limb scattering in the UV and visible spectral range.

The second workshop will be held in Stockholm, on October 11-14, 2004.  Our ambition is to extend the programme to also include infrared and microwave/sub-mm soundings of the limb.  An additional focus will be on mesospheric data comparisons.

Programme

There will be three days with oral presentations with plenty of time for formal and informal discussions. The fourth day is reserved for discussions and exchange of ideas in smaller work groups. These groups will be organized during the workshop.
