T-O-Y 2006 Workshops Plan
Three 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. Both the proposed
format and the topics for the three one-week workshops are described
below including detailed science topics as well as suggested
senior and mid-career lecturers.
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:
- Convection, orography, moisture, and gravity waves
- Parameterizations and numerics for GCM's
Applied Math Topics:
- Multi-scale asymptotic modeling with systematic
numerics and parameterizations
- Simplified model problems
- 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.

Organizing Committee
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 Initiative,
the Geophysical Statistics Project, and
the Turbulence Numerics Team.
For more information about IMAGe,
including post-doc positions, please contact
Doug Nychka.
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.
