DOE Atmospheric Sciences Program (ASP) Meeting
19-21 March 2002
Albuquerque, NM
The primary goals of this meeting were to report progress, improve scientific collaborations within and among components of the ASP, and discuss research directions, including cooperative efforts with programs of agencies other than DOE.
