Description:The Chinese-American Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (COAA) organized the Eighth COAA International Conference on Atmosphere, Ocean, and Climate Change (ICAOCC), which was held at the Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology (NUIST) campus in Nanjing, China, during summer. This international conference1 provided a platform for weather and climate experts in the international oceanic and atmospheric sciences community to communicate their research, share ideas and experiences, and inspire new research strategies. It also provided a great opportunity for students and young scholars to forge professional relationships through their interactions with experts and senior professionals. Global warming has emerged as a big threat to the security of human society and civilization. Understanding a problem of this scale and providing solutions to climate change issues require the involvement of researchers from countries all over the world and of different disciplines and research expertise. In light of this view, the Eighth ICAOCC focused on the theme of understanding climate change and accurate weather prediction under global warming. It covered several areas that are key to the understanding of climate change and its impact, including climate observations using satellite and conventional means, climate and hydrometeorological extremes, climate modeling and observational analyses, climate change impact and adaptation, ocean–land–atmosphere interactions, data assimilation techniques for accurate weather prediction, and severe weather analysis and prediction (detailed information is available at www.coaaweb.org/COAA2019/index.html). The 3-day conference showcased more than 150 oral presentations and 40 posters within 11 scientific sessions (Table 1). Senior researchers and young scholars shared their research results during the meeting. Participants came from six countries, the majority from the United States and China. The Eighth ICAOCC succeeded in facilitating the communication of ideas and experiences in the practical application of innovative research to study climate change, weather prediction and global warming. The conference served as the premier platform for promoting international collaborations, a key to tackle such global problems as climate change, weather forecasting, and air pollution. With the increasing number of participants, ICOACC could become a major international conference in these fields to help policy makers around the world to develop better strategies and work together to confront global challenges.
