IGAC-MANGO Meeting, Science Workshop, and Training Courses 2019

Eleven current MANGO committee members, along with twenty-two early career scientists, and four invited lectures, gathered in Nainital, India, a town with a beautiful lake in the foothills of Himalayas, for the IGAC-MANGO Meeting, Science Workshop, and Training Course 2019. The main objective of IGAC-MANGO is to form a cohesive network of atmospheric scientists in the Asian monsoon region, facilitate collaboration between Asian and international scientists, and foster the next generation of scientists in this region. Recent updates and future directions of MANGO, including membership, new activities, and funding opportunities were discussed during the one day committee meeting. This was followed by a two-day science workshop and training course that included sessions dedicated to science-policy and science communication, as well as a joint MANGO-India scientific session, including 1 minute flash poster talks, and a course on satellite data analysis and low-cost sensors. Unique this year was a video-clip competition by MANGO early career scientists called “MANGO Junior” or “green-MANGO”.
