The 8th International Conference on Southern Hemisphere (SH) Meteorology and Oceanography will be held 24-28 April 2006 in Foz do Iguacu, Brazil. The meeting is organized around the broad theme "Understanding and Predicting Climate and Water Resources, their Variability and Change in the Southern Hemisphere. These meetings have been successful in promoting understanding of atmospheric and oceanic processes particular to SH and their linkages to the Tropics and the Northern Hemisphere. Particular attention will be given to:a) Monsoon systems and continental rainfall; fundamental processes; climatological, ecological biogeochemical, and hydrological functioning of the Monsoon regions;b) Role of the SH oceans in climate. Climate- ecosystem- biogeochemistry interactions in the oceans of the SH;c) Addressing gaps in SH observing systems;d) Climate and weather forecasts: The challenge of seasonal, interannual, and interdecadal predictions in the SH;e) Understanding long-term climate variations in the SH;f) Hydrological variability and modeling;g) Climatic and ecological impacts of land cover and land use changes;h) Climate and cryosphere of the Antarctic region;i) Climate change in the SH;j) Inter-ocean exchanges in the SH;k) Human influences on climate;l) Atmospheric chemistry in the SH.Intellectual Merit: With the advances in communication, the economic and social impacts of weather and climate information are global and the American Meteorological Society (AMS) and the scientific community are concerned with the social impacts and applications of weather and climate information. It is recognized that a global perspective is required for understanding regional variability, but each region has its unique geographical perspective. Broader Impacts: An international conference facilitates a fluid dialogue between scientists and users of weather and climate information. That is a crucial ingredient to advance global research in the atmospheric sciences and to promote the beneficial application of this research to the needs of society. The funds will support 7-10 students to attend the conference.

第八届南半球气象学和海洋学国际会议将于2006年4月24日至28日在巴西福兹杜伊瓜苏举行。 会议的主题是“了解和预测南半球的气候和水资源及其可变性和变化”。 这些会议成功地促进了对特别是南半球的大气和海洋过程及其与热带和北方半球的联系的理解。将特别注意：a）季风系统和大陆降雨;基本过程;季风区的气候、生态地球化学和水文功能;B）SH海洋在气候中的作用。气候-生态系统-海洋地球化学的相互作用;c）解决南半球观测系统的差距;d）气候和天气预报：南半球季节、年际和年代际预测的挑战;e）了解南半球的长期气候变化;f）水文变率和建模;g）土地覆盖和土地利用变化的气候和生态影响; h）南极地区的气候和冰冻圈;i）南半球的气候变化;j）南半球的大洋间交换;k）人类对气候的影响;l）南半球的大气化学。随着通讯技术的进步，天气和气候信息的经济和社会影响是全球性的，美国气象学会（AMS）和科学界关注天气和气候信息的社会影响和应用。 人们认识到，要了解区域差异性，就需要有全球视角，但每个区域都有其独特的地理视角。更广泛的影响：一个国际会议促进了科学家和天气和气候信息用户之间的流畅对话。 这是推动全球大气科学研究和促进将这一研究成果有益地应用于社会需求的一个关键因素。 这些资金将支持7-10名学生参加会议。
