Summer School Tropical multiscale convective systems: Theory, modeling, and observations

This event is a 3-day summer school (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday) followed by a 2-day workshop (Thursday, Friday). The aim is to bring university researchers in applied math, physics, or meteorology departments working in the area of tropical meteorology together with government lab scientists working on operational weather and climate forecast models to foster interactions between the two communities.
The summer school is intended for graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and young researchers in both applied math (with some background in PDEs) and fluid dynamics and/or atmospheric sciences working in the area of tropical meteorology or keen to learn about the subject. The lecturers are specialists in the field and will cover the most important aspects, from the observations, theory, and modeling sides. Lecture topics will range from cloud physics to multiscale organized convective systems (mesoscale through synoptic to planetary scales, including intraseasonal and interannual oscillations), from cloud resolving modeling to general circulation models, from idealized process models to full physics convective parametrizations, and from basic wave theory to multiscale asymptotic models.
The workshop will focus on the state of the art and new research directions in tropical meteorology.
