A workshop on tropical cyclones and climate will be held March 27-29, 2006 at the International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI) in Palisades, NY. This grant supports the travel of 10 young scientists (graduate students and/or postdocs) to participate in the workshop. They will be selected by the workshop organizing committee based on their applications. They will be from institutions other than Columbia University.Hurricanes and typhoons, more generally known as tropical cyclones, can cause billions of dollars in losses in Asia and North America each year. A better understanding of the variability of tropical cyclones and how they relate to the larger-scale climate variability could lead to better forecasts and could potentially reduce these losses. Much research has looked at the influence of climate variability on tropical cyclones properties, for instance, the MJO (Madden- Julian Oscillation) phase may suppress or enhance the formation of tropical cyclones. Not as much attention has been given to the influence of tropical cyclones on the larger-scale climate. The workshop will focus on four somewhat distinct research areas: 1. The influence of climate variability on tropical cyclones, 2. The influence of tropical cyclones on large-scale climate, 3. Paleotempestology (a new field of paleoclimate research, which involves reconstructing tropical cyclones' impacts in the relatively distant past), 4. Predictability, risk management and impacts. Broader Impacts. Better understanding of the natural variability of tropical cyclone activity is fundamental to reduce the losses in life and in the economy. By having graduate students and post-doctoral scientists attending the workshop, they will have a chance to interact with other young scientists and specialists in the area and on this topic. As a broader impact, the presence of these young scientists in the workshop will influence some of them to do research in this important area.

热带气旋和气候研讨会将于2006年3月27日至29日在纽约州帕利塞兹的国际气候与社会研究所（IRI）举行。这笔赠款资助10名青年科学家（研究生和/或博士后）参加讲习班的旅费。 他们将由研讨会组委会根据他们的申请进行挑选。 他们将来自哥伦比亚大学以外的机构。飓风和台风，更普遍地被称为热带气旋，每年会在亚洲和北美造成数十亿美元的损失。 更好地了解热带气旋的变异性及其与大规模气候变异性的关系，可以更好地进行预测，并有可能减少这些损失。许多研究都着眼于气候变率对热带气旋性质的影响，例如，MJO（Madden-Julian Oscillation）阶段可能会抑制或增强热带气旋的形成。 热带气旋对大尺度气候的影响没有得到足够的关注。研讨会将集中在四个不同的研究领域：1。气候变率对热带气旋的影响，2.热带气旋对大尺度气候的影响; Paleotempestology（古气候研究的一个新领域，涉及重建热带气旋在相对遥远的过去的影响），4。可预测性、风险管理和影响。 更广泛的影响。更好地了解热带气旋活动的自然变化对减少生命和经济损失至关重要。 通过让研究生和博士后科学家参加研讨会，他们将有机会与该领域和该主题的其他年轻科学家和专家进行互动。作为一种更广泛的影响，这些青年科学家参加讲习班将影响他们中的一些人在这一重要领域进行研究。
