Travel Support for Dynamical Barriers, Stirring and Mixing in Geophysical Flows-Mathematical Model and Applications (GEOMIX) Workshop; Corsica, France; August 19-September 1, 2001

该奖项为参加GEOMIX研讨会的美国参与者提供旅费支持，该研讨会将于2001年8月19日至9月1日在法国科西嘉岛的Cargese科学研究所举行。研讨会的主题是地球物理混合与输运。这一领域的研究是地球物理学和应用数学的结合，具有相当重要的实际意义，因为在高纬度地区的臭氧消耗（臭氧空洞）、化学污染物的远距离运输和转化、北大西洋温盐环流和控制海洋吸收二氧化碳的生物地球化学过程等领域都有大量应用。讲习班的核心资金来自欧洲共同体和法国国家科学研究中心（CNRS）。PI Ray Pierrehumbert是这一研究领域公认的领导者，也是研讨会的三个主要组织者之一。美国国家科学基金会奖将支持大约20名美国参与者的旅行，主要是高级研究生，博士后研究员和早期职业生涯的初级教师。大尺度动力气象学（GEO/ATM）、物理海洋学（GEO/OCE）和应用数学（MPS/DMS）项目都同样为该奖项提供资助。

The award provides travel support for US participants in the GEOMIX workshop, which will be held at the Institut d'Etudes Scientifiques de Cargese in Corsica, France from August 19 to September 1, 2001. The theme of the workshop is Geophysical Mixing and Transport. Research in this area---at the nexus of geophysics and applied mathematics---is of considerable practical importance, since applications abound in areas such as ozone depletion (ozone hole) in the high latitudes, long-range transport and transformation of chemical pollutants, North Atlantic thermohaline circulation, and biogeochemical processes controlling ocean absorption of CO2. Core funding for the workshop has been obtained from the European community and from Centre National du Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) in France. The PI, Ray Pierrehumbert, is an acknowledged leader in this research area, and one of the three lead organizers of the workshop. The NSF award should support travel of approximately 20 U.S. participants, primarily, advanced graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and early-career junior faculty. The Large-scale Dynamic Meteorology (GEO/ATM), Physical Oceanography (GEO/OCE), and Applied Math (MPS/DMS) programs are all equally contributing to the award funding.
