FOREWORD
The International TOVS Working Group (ITWG) is convened as a sub-group of the International
Radiation Commission (IRC) of the International Association of Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics
(IAMAP). The ITWG continues to organise International TOVS Study Conferences (ITSCs) which have
met approximately every 18 months since 1983. Through this forum, operational and research users of
TIROS Operational Vertical Sounder (TOVS), Advanced TOVS (ATOVS) and other atmospheric
sounding data have exchanged information on data processing methods, derived products, and the
impacts of radiances and inferred atmospheric temperature and moisture fields on numerical weather
prediction (NWP) and climate studies.
The Thirteenth International TOVS Study Conference (ITSC-XIII) was held at the Hotel Le Chantecler
in Sainte Adèle, Québec, Canada from 29 October to 4 November 2003. This conference report
summarises the scientific exchanges and outcomes of the meeting. A companion document The
Technical Proceedings of The Thirteenth International TOVS Study Conference contains the complete
text of ITSC-XIII scientific presentations. The ITWG Web site ( http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/itwg/ )
contains electronic versions of the conference presentations and publications. Together, these documents
and Web pages reflect the conduct of a highly successful meeting in Sainte Adèle. An active and mature
community of TOVS and ATOVS data users now exists, and considerable progress and positive results
were reported at ITSC-XIII in a number of areas, including many related to the new ATOVS system and
to the current and impending advanced sounders.
ITSC-XIII was sponsored by the Met Office (U.K.), NOAA NESDIS, EUMETSAT, the World
Meteorological Organization (WMO), Alcatel, ABB, the Raytheon Company and ITT Industries. The
support of these government agencies and private industry companies is gratefully acknowledged. We
wish to thank the local organising committee from Environment Canada, particularly Louis Garand and
Clement Chouinard of the Data Assimilation and Satellite Meteorology Division. We also thank and
appreciate the contribution of the Environment Canada staff, particularly Maryse Ferland and Danielle
O’Shaughnessey, who assisted ably in the organization and conduct of the Conference at Sainte Adèle.
We also thank the staff of Hotel Le Chantecler for their assistance during the Conference. Finally, we
thank the numerous contributions from Leanne Avila of the University of Wisconsin who assisted in
conference planning, on-site meeting organization, and preparation and publication of this Report, the
Technical Proceedings and the ITWG Web site.
