Applications are invited from early career scientists to participate in the 2013 Pan American Advanced Studies Institute (PASI) on Atmospheric Processes in Latin America and the Caribbean: Observations, Analysis, and Impacts — a two-week short course on atmospheric processes of Latin America and the Caribbean, to be held in Cartagena, Colombia, from 27 May to 7 June 2013.
This course will provide a comprehensive summary of the state of knowledge of the key processes that are important to the region. Topics will include global teleconnections, regional monsoon systems, regional sources of moisture and its transport, hurricanes, ocean-air interactions, and small-scale convection. The course will have five distinct elements: lectures, computer labs, both group and small-group discussions, a group writing project, and a research colloquium.
We are expecting to accept up to 30 participants, half from the United States and half from the other countries in the Americas and the Caribbean, chosen in a manner that ensures a highly qualified and diverse set of attendees. NSF-sponsored stipends are available for participants to help cover partial travel and subsistence. Support from a participant's home institution is welcome and encouraged.
