Travel Grant: Antarctic Meteorology Meetings in Italy June - July 2007

这笔国际旅行赠款将支持南极大气科学领域大约6名研究生和4名青年科学家参加2007年6月26日至28日在意大利罗马举行的第二届南极气象观测、建模和预报讲习班，以及2007年7月2日至13日在意大利佩鲁贾举行的国际大地测量和地球物理联合会(IUGG)会议。首届南极气象观测、建模和预报讲习班于2006年在科罗拉多州博尔德市举行。该讲习班代表了南极中尺度预报系统用户与南极自动气象站年度会议之间以前的联席会议的整合。第二届南极气象观测、建模和预报讲习班正在欧洲举行，以表彰欧洲科学家，特别是意大利大气科学家对南极气象系统和南极气象学的浓厚兴趣和贡献。此外，国际大地测量和地球物理联合会会议安排了一些南极气象学家感兴趣的专题讨论会，包括气候变化的高纬度模式、冰芯和气候、大尺度环流变化对冰雪范围的影响，以及南极环流和水团的变化及其对气候变化的敏感性。

This international travel grant will support the attendance and participation of approximately six graduate students and four young scientists in the field of antarctic atmospheric science in the Second Antarctic Meteorological Observation, Modeling, and Forecasting (AMOMF) Workshop in Rome, Italy, June 26-28, 2007, and the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) Meeting in Perugia, Italy, July 2-13, 2007. The First Antarctic Meteorological Observation, Modeling, and Forecasting Workshop was held in Boulder, Colorado, in 2006. That workshop represented the integration of prior joint meetings between the Antarctic Mesoscale Prediction System (AMPS) Users and the Antarctic Automatic Weather Station (AWS) annual meetings. The 2nd Antarctic Meteorological Observation, Modeling, and Forecasting Workshop is taking place in Europe to acknowledge the strong interest in, and contributions to AMPS and to antarctic meteorology by European scientists in general and Italian atmospheric scientists in particular. In addition, the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics meeting has scheduled a number of symposia of interest to Antarctic meteorologists, including High Latitude Modes of Climate Variability, Ice Cores and Climate, Consequences of Large Scale Circulation Variability on Snow and Ice Extent, and Variability of the Antarctic Circulation and Water Masses and Their Sensitivity to Climate Change.
