Recent advances in climatology and meteorology are associated with the progress in geoinformatics, a discipline that combines numerous computer-based techniques for processing, analyzing and modeling spatial data. For the last decade, atmospheric scientists have been utilizing such tools to carry our both fundamental and applied research into weather-related problems. Nowadays, geographic information systems, remote sensing as well as physical and empirical modeling should be perceived as standard methods which climatologists and meteorologists use in their investigations.

The objective of the forthcoming 22nd Cartographic School 2014 on "Geoinformatics and Atmospheric Science", to be held in Wałbrzych-Książ in Poland on 6-9 May 2014, is to bring together new ideas and leading experts in the fields of geoinformatics and broadly understood atmospheric science. It is believed that a conference in the picturesque Książ Castle will strengthen the discussion between the two groups, leading to a better understanding and cooperation. The conference language is English.
