Description:
------------

This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will bring university-based
mathematicians and physicists together with scientists from
operational climate modeling centers to discuss the new insights
and the mathematical basis for tropical multiscale processes coming
from observations and from theory, and the consequences of such
insights for the simulation of these processes in fully complex
global climate models. 

The workshop is organized by
Joseph Biello, Boualem Khouider, and George Kiladis.

Space and funding is available for a few more participants.
If you would like to participate, please apply by filling
out the on-line form (available at the link above) no later
than August 6, 2010. Applications are open to all, and
we especially encourage women, underrepresented minorities,
junior mathematicians, and researchers from primarily
undergraduate institutions to apply.

AIM Research Conference Center:
--------------------------------

The American Institute of Mathematics (AIM) hosts focused
workshops in all areas of the mathematical sciences. AIM
focused workshops are distinguished by their emphasis on
a specific mathematical goal, such as making progress on a
significant unsolved problem, understanding the proof of an
important new result, or investigating the convergence between
two distinct areas of mathematics.
