[Scott Briggs]

*FYI, deadline extended until February 22*




PASI short course on atmospheric processes in Latin America/Caribbean

Applications are invited from early career scientists to participate in 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
citizens and half from citizens of other countries in the Americas and the
Caribbean. Participants will be selected 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.
