The 20th Session of the GEWEX Scientific Steering Group will be held at the Palacio San Martin, Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Buenos Aires, Argentina, 4-8 February 2008. Prof. Carlos Eduardo Ereņo (Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at the University of Buenos Aires and staff scientist for the American and Asian-Australian Monsoon Panels, CLIVAR Project Office) has graciously made arrangements for these facilities and other meeting logistics.

GEWEX gratefully acknowledges the following organizations for sponsoring this meeting:
