The International Ozone Commission (IOC) of the International
Association for Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences (IAMAS)
announces that the next International Quadrennial Ozone Symposium
"Kos 2004" will be held in Kos, Greece from 1 - 8 June 2004.
 The
Symposium will be held at five star Kipriotis Hotels at Kos,
Greece. The mean air temperature of Kos in June is 24,7°C
and the average relative humidity is 57,6%.
Kos is the island that gave the world Hippocrates, the father
of medicine and it is the third largest island of the Dodecanese.
Kos can be accessed by airplane from several major European
airports as well as from Athens (flight time from Athens is
approximately 35') or by ferryboat (from the port of Piraeus
with Fast Ferries approximately 6,5 hours). Kos is close to
Rhodes (2 hours with Flying Dolphins) and about 40' from the
Turkish coast.
The Symposium will solicit scientific papers on all aspects
of atmospheric ozone such as:
- Observations and analyses of total and vertical ozone
distributions
- Observation techniques and inter-comparisons
- Tropospheric ozone in particular, past and future budgets
and trends
- Observations and budgets of minor constituents related
to atmospheric ozone
- Ozone chemistry
- Model calculations dynamics and chemistry coupling
- Ozone - climate interactions
- Ozone and ultraviolet radiation
The Scientific Program Committee will review the submitted
papers before the acceptance for presentation. The presentation
of a paper should be oral or on a poster. The detailed information
on paper submission will be publicized in the second announcement
to be issued in May 2003.
