On behalf of the American Meteorological Society (AMS) Radar Committee, we welcome you to Chicago, Illinois and to the 38th Conference on Radar Meteorology.

This year we received 464 scientific abstracts representing an astounding volume and diversity of work. The conference is being held in the “Second City” of Chicago on the shores of Lake Michigan. Originally home to the Potawatomi, Miami and Sauk and Fox tribes Chicago’s first non‐indigenous settler was Jean Baptiste Point du Sable who settled in the 1780’s. The city of Chicago was incorporated in 1837 and, due to its location connecting the Great lakes to the Mississippi, Chicago was the fastest growing city for several decades afterwards. Over ten million people now call greater Chicago home. Chicago is an international hub for finance, telecommunications, transportation and industry. And, being home to the University of Chicago, Northwestern University and Argonne and Fermi National Laboratories it is a hotbed of innovation. It is also, in the view of the conference chairs, one of the most spectacular cities in the world. Burnt to the ground in 1885 Chicago was reborn and ushered in the skyscraper era. Due to much of the old structure being erased Chicago was carefully laid out and designed with careful controls on building design leading to eye pleasing architecture.

This year’s conference has 9 themes organized into 27 oral and 3 poster sessions. Due to the spectacular location of the hotel it was decided to leave some white time open on Wednesday afternoon enabling attendees to explore the city and engage in fruitful collaboration. A special session “A Tribute to the Trailblazers of Radar Meteorology: Dave Atlas, Roger Lhermitte and Edwin Kessler. ” will be held on Tuesday evening. We would like to thank Rit Carbone, Bob Serafin and Dusan Zrnic for their hard work organizing this special event, and the volunteer speakers including Louis Uccellini, Anthony Illingworth, Grant Gray, Pavlos Kollias, Jim Wilson and Howie Bluestein. It has been an honor to work with this remarkably distinguished group. We would also like to thank the University of Oklahoma’s College of Geographic and Atmospheric Science and the National Weather Center for their sponsorship of the event. Our sincere gratitude also goes to the Advanced Radar Research Center for sponsoring coffee during the conference.

The conference is only possible due to the volunteer support of the program committee which is listed on the next pages. We relied heavily on their support and leadership and the topical sessions you will enjoy during the conference are a result of their work. We would like to personally thank them for the support they give to the radar community.

We appreciate the hard work of the AMS specifically Jennifer Ives and Jenn Rosen. We would like to apologize for the many mistakes made and deadlines missed. We would also like to thank Stephanie Armstrong (Sponsorship) and Sotiria Qirjazi (short courses).
