The Institute for Mathematics Applied to Geosciences
Theme for 2006: Emerging Mathematical Strategies for
Multi-Scale and Stochastic Modeling of the Atmosphere and Climate
|
|
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. 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 IV. Multi-Scale Processes for Low Frequency Variability,
Climate, and Climate Change Response
15 - 19 May 2006; Boulder, CO
Venue
The workshop will be held at the National Center for
Atmospheric Research's Foothills Laboratory Building 2, Main Seminar Room located
at 3450 Mitchell Lane in beautiful Boulder, Colorado.
Atmospheric Science Topics:
- Low frequency atmospheric variabilty and seasonal cycle
- Coupled GCM's and hierarchy of simplified climate models
- Observations for climate
Applied Math Topics:
- Design of optimal bases for low order models
- Theories for fluctuation-dissipation relations
- Analysis of stochastic and deterministic coupled models
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.
Registration deadline for financial support is
7 April 2006.
Registration to attend the workshop is
12 May 2006
.
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.

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 (nychka .at. ucar .dot. edu).
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.
