ForewordThe 9th International Symposium on Tropospheric Profiling (ISTP) will be held in L'Aquila, Italy from September 3th-7th, 2012. It is hosted by the Center of Excellence for the Forecast of Severe Events (CETEMPS) of University of L'Aquila. The symposium is part of a series that started in Boulder, Colorado, in 1988, and it is typically held every 3 years. ISTP attracts an international group of scientists, engineers, and program managers with broad experience in atmospheric measurement and modeling. Profiling of atmospheric state parameters and constituents, the understanding of tropospheric processes, and the use of experimental data in atmospheric models are the major topics of the conference.
