Dear Colleagues,

The deadline for submitting abstracts to the International Radiation 
Symposium (IRS2004) is approaching.  If you wish to present paper(s) 
at the IRS2004 please submit your abstract(s) electronically on the 
official website, <http://www.irs04.org/>http://www.irs04.org/, until 
March 1 (please refer to

The Second Circular for
The International Radiation Symposium (IRS2004):
Current Problems in Atmospheric Radiation

August 23-28, 2004
Busan Exhibition & Convention Center (BEXCO)
Busan, Korea

1. General Information
    The International Radiation Symposium (IRS2004) on Current 
Problems in Atmospheric Radiation will be held during August 23-28, 
2004 at Busan Exhibition & Convention Center (BEXCO), Busan, Korea. 
The Symposium is organized by the International Radiation Commission 
(IRC, President: Prof. Herbert Fischer), and hosted jointly by Korean 
Meteorological Society (President: Prof. Jong-Ghap Jhun) and Center 
for Atmospheric Environment Research of Seoul National University 
(Director: Prof. Dong-Kyou Lee).
    The Symposium will provide an ample opportunity of exchanging 
advanced ideas and experiences on the current problems in atmospheric 
radiation, and of discussing and reviewing our knowledge of 
spectroscopy, radiative transfer theory and modeling, remote sensing, 
and weather and climate applications.  The official language of this 
symposium is English.
	Some of important information for the symposium are provided 
in the following, which will be updated continuously on the official 
website (http://www.irs04.org).

2. Symposium Topics
  Radiative transfer theory and modeling
  Molecular radiative properties
  Particle radiative properties
  General remote sensing
  Satellite measurements
  Surface measurements and field experiments
  Radiative budget and forcing
  Weather and climate applications

4. Call for Papers
All participants are requested to submit their abstracts in English, 
using the $B!c(BOn-Line Submission$B#c(B system provided on the conference 
website http://www.irs04.org/, no later than 1 March 2004. In the 
on-line submission, authors are asked to indicate the most preferred 
session (oral or poster) in which the authors like to present their 
paper. After reviewing the papers, the Program Committee (IRC 
officers plus main session convenors) may change/rearrange submitted 
papers to other oral/poster program sessions despite author$B+c(Bs 
preference.
The abstract will be used to judge the suitability for oral or poster 
presentation of an appropriate session. Therefore, it is in author$B+c(Bs 
own interest to prepare the abstracts with enough scientific 
information for review by the Program Committee.

5. Registration
Various registration fees are given in following table:

 
Early Registration	   Late Registration
Normal participants					$ 300 (USD) 
		$ 350
Students and special group(*)			$ 50 (USD) 
		$75
____Accompanying persons				$50 (USD) 
		    $75

Note: (*) Special group includes participants from Developing 
Countries; the classification may be announced later time.

Everyone attending the IRS2004 must register and wear a badge. The 
registration form and on-line registration will be available on the 
conference website around early May 2004.  After pre-registration 
period (to be posted later), on-site registrations will be accepted 
at a higher rate. Pre-registration forms must be accompanied by 
payment: credit card and bank (wire) transfer to the account of LOC. 
Confirmation of pre-registration will be sent once the form has been 
processed.

6. Climate
Busan has a typical oceanic climate. The annual mean temperature is 
14.3_ (58 oF) and seldom goes below zero. It is a little windy and 
humid all year round. The summer starts at the end of June and ends 
at the beginning of September, during which there is a rainy season 
that normally runs from late June to late July. As the rainy season 
comes to a close, the high pressure system of the North Pacific 
brings hot and humid weather and balmy temperatures that last for 
about a month or so.  However, the symposium period (August 23-28) 
normally should show the end of the summer and the beginning of 
autumn with temperature around 26 oC (80 oF).

7. Travel
Busan, the second largest city in Korea, is a gateway to the Pacific 
and South East Asia.  Busan$B+c(Bs Gimhae International Airport is served 
by direct international flights from Japan, China, Russia, Hong Kong, 
Thailand and Guam. Travelers from countries other than these areas 
should use international airports (such as Incheon, Gimpo, or Jeju) 
and then take domestic flights to the Gimhae Airport. There are more 
than 40 flights daily between Seoul (Gimpo Airport), the capital city 
of Korea, and Busan served by Korean Air and Asiana Airline. Those 
arriving at the Incheon are expected to take a bus to the Gimpo 
Airport first, which is about 30 minutes away.  Basically, the Gimpo 
Airport is used for the domestic flights while Incheon is for 
international flights.  However, there are few flights to Busan at 
the Incheon Airport as well, connecting international flights to 
Busan without moving to Gimpo.  Please check with your travel agency 
for details.  The BEXCO and conference hotels can be reached by the 
airport limousine from the Gimhae Airport.

8. Accommodation
There are many hotels and inns with reasonable prices from standard 
to first classes in Busan. Fares for hotel and inns normally range 
from $B!W=c(B50,000 Korean Won (~US$40) to $B!W=c(B150,000 Korean Won (~US$125) 
for a single room. Usually one unit is for the single occupancy, but 
double occupancies are possible depending on hotels or inns. 
Breakfasts may not be included in the fare.
The list of hotels will be given on the conference website in due 
time. The LOC will reserve some rooms in hotels, but the reservation 
for inns may not be available. Reservation form will be provided on 
the website around May.
