The conference was virtual this year.
There are no parallel sessions. Oral presentations should be understandable, at least in part, to air scientists from all fields. A major goal of this conference is the crosspollination of ideas between fields of study. The oral talks are 15 minutes long with 5 minutes for questions and change over to the next talk.
There were 5 poster sessions with all posters presented in series with 5 minutes per poster. There are several special events surrounding the poster sessions! (Attend the conference to learn more.)
