[GTP] IMAGe Theme-of-the-Year 2008

[Liz Rothney]

An important part of IMAGe is our Theme-of-the-Year (TOY), a year-long
focus on some aspect of applied mathematics and the geosciences,
designed to advance research and education between the mathematical
and the geoscience communities.

Theme for 2008: Geophysical Turbulence Phenomena
The TOY08 will be led by Keith Julien (Applied Mathematics, University
of Colorado at Boulder) and Annick Pouquet (Geophysical Turbulence
Program, NCAR) with workshops and a summer school to be held in
Boulder, Colorado.

The difficulty of solving classical problems in turbulence through
direct mathematical analysis has engendered a multi-disciplinary
approach where mathematical and physical models, computational
science, observations and experiments are combined to make advances.
The thematic activities are designed to support the geophysical and
mathematical communities through a series of workshops and a summer
school exploring turbulence from these different perspectives with the
goal of increasing the interconnections among theory, computation and
experiments.

TOY08 Activities
1. Turbulent Theory and Modeling, 27-29 February 2008
2. Petascale Computing for Geophysical Turbulence, 5-7 May 2008
3. Observing the Turbulent Atmosphere: Sampling Strategies,
Technology, and Applications, 28-30 May 2008
4. Summer School: Geophysical Turbulence, 14 July - 1 August 2008
