The Institute for Mathematics Applied to Geosciences Theme for 2008: Geophysical Turbulence Phenomena

Workshop 1. Turbulent Theory and Modeling

27-29 February 2008; Boulder, CO

You, your colleagues and students are kindly invited to participate in the Theme-of-the-Year 2008 Geophysical Turbulent Phenomena Workshop 1 entitled "Turbulent Theory and Modeling."

The goals of this Workshop are to explore the problem of turbulent theory and modeling in the atmospheric and oceanic sciences and related fluid dynamical processes.

The Organizing Committee hopes that the workshop will serve to advance the state of the art in theory and modeling in a broad class of GFD applications ranging from global to sub-mesoscales, and to identify open problems and pressing needs in the field.

The Meeting will feature invited lectures by international experts on a wide scope of themes, contributed talks and poster presentations by the participants, round tables and open discussions. Topics will include atmospheric and oceanic turbulence, coherent structures, hurricanes, multiscale modeling strategies, and turbulent parameterizations.

Venue

The workshop will be held at the National Center for Atmospheric Reasearch's Mesa Laboratory, Main Seminar Room, 27-29 February 2008.

Organizing Committee

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.
