Workshop

You are kindly invited to participate in the Theme-of-the-Year 2008 Geophysical Turbulent Phenomena Workshop 3 entitled "Observing the Turbulent Atmosphere: Sampling Strategies, Technology and Applications"

The measurement of turbulence, along with the enabling sensor technologies,spans many areas in geophysical turbulence research.

Measurements of turbulence in laboratory experiments and in observations of natural flows are crucial for elucidating the basic structure of fluid motions; the discovering of new characteristics of a fluid; guiding theoretical studies; and providing empirical data to compare against modeling results.

Venue

The workshop will be held at the National Center for Atmospheric Research's Foothills Laboratory 2, Room 1022 and Mesa Laboratory, Main Seminar Room
28 - 30 May 2008.

IMAGe

The Institute for Mathematics Applied to Geosciences (IMAGe) 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 four groups; the Data Assimilation Research Section, the Geophysical Statistics Project, the Turbulence Numerics Team, and the Computational Mathematics Group. 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.
