De Bilt, The Netherlands, 6 - 8 July 2016
Aim of the workshop is to bring together satellite and ground-based O2 A-band observational experts, radiative transfer specialists, and retrieval algorithm developers from different applications, to inform each other about state-of-art methods and observations, and to prepare for the coming years with many more O2 A-band data, especially from satellite.
A large version of the group photo can be found here and a zoomable 3D version of the group photo can be found here. The detailed final programme is available here and the presentations can be obtained from Piet Stammes.

The workhop will start on Wednesday 6 July at 8:30 AM with registration and putting up posters. The opening address will be at 9:15 AM. Then we have two-and-half days of presentations and discussions in plenary sessions. The workshop will end on Friday 8 July at 13:30.
The workshop will have the format of a 3-day plenary meeting, with 20-minute oral presentations and posters. There will be sufficient time allocated for discussions. The workshop is by invitation only; the maximum number of participants is 75. No fee will be required, but participants are required to fund their own travel, hotel, and daily expenses.
