T-O-Y 2006 Workshops Plan

Four interdisciplinary one-week workshops during Fall Spring 2005-2006 with both a tutorial research/expository component for two days and a contemporary research component for the last three days.

Workshop II. Multi-Scale Interactions in a GCM grid box:
Mathematical Theory, Numerics, and Parameterization


31 October - 4 November 2005; Boulder, CO

A brief summary and photo gallery of the workshop. Updated 12/05/05.

Venue

The workshop will be held at the National Center for Atmospheric Research's Mesa Laboratory Main Seminar Room located in the foothills above beautiful Boulder, Colorado.

Atmospheric Science Topics:

  1. Convection, orography, moisture, and gravity waves
  2. Parameterizations and numerics for GCM's
Applied Math Topics:
  1. Multi-scale asymptotic modeling with systematic numerics and parameterizations
  2. Simplified model problems
  3. High resolution numerics

Participation and Support

Funding is available to support attendance with special emphasis given to graduate students and other young researchers. Researchers who are not working directly on the workshop topics, yet have an interest in the program, are also encouraged to apply, as are members of under-represented groups.
The Registration deadline is closed for financial support. REGISTRATION to attend the workshop is 29 October 2005 .

Walk-Ins Welcome!

Application Procedures for financial support

A letter of application stating your research interests is required. If a graduate student, please include a description of relevant coursework and training, CV, and short letter of recommendation from a faculty advisor.

IMAGe

The Institute for Mathematics Applied to Geosciences is a group within the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) for the purpose of advancing mathematical theory and its application to all facets of NCAR and the geophysical community at large. IMAGe is substantially funded by the National Science Foundation. IMAGe is composed of three groups; the Data Assimilation Research Section, the Geophysical Statistics Project, and the Turbulence Numerics Team. For more information about IMAGe, including post-doc positions, please contact Doug Nychka.

NCAR

NCAR was formed in 1960 and has a broad interdisciplinary research program involving more that 1000 employees of which several hundred hold advanced scientific or engineering degrees. The NCAR scientific program includes nearly all aspects of the atmosphere including climate and weather, atmospheric chemistry, ecology, instrumentation, scientific computing, and economic and societal impacts of atmospheric processes.
