PASI on Dynamics and Chemistry of the Mesosphere and Thermosphere: Promoting Inter-American Collaborations; Ushuaia, Argentina, September 2010

这项由美国国家科学基金会和美国能源部共同支持的泛美高级研究机构（PASI）奖将于2010年9月在阿根廷乌斯怀亚的南方科学研究中心（Centro Austral de Investigaciones Scientificas）和Complejo Astronomico El Leoncito举行。 PASI由国家大气研究中心的Rolando Garcia博士组织，将讨论中间层和热层的动力学和化学。 拟议的研究所将促进大气和空间科学基本问题方面的知识并培训参与者。 PASI将包括培训/讲习班，介绍目前的研究成果，同时介绍高层大气研究中最先进的观测和理论方法。 该项目的预期成果包括：（a）对来自美洲的具有理论和实践背景的参与者进行培训，以从事或继续从事大气和空间科学的研究工作;（B）确定在南美洲部署所需的仪器;（c）促进研究人员之间的合作，以应对全球挑战。 将使用音频/视频录制PASI会议，并通过网络和印刷形式传播会议结果。

This Pan-American Advanced Studies Institutes (PASI) award, jointly supported by the NSF and the Department of Energy (DOE), will take place September, 2010, at the Centro Austral de Investigaciones Cientificas and the Complejo Astronomico El Leoncito in Ushuaia, Argentina. Organized by Dr. Rolando Garcia from the National Center for Atmospheric Research, the PASI will address the dynamics and chemistry of the mesosphere and thermosphere. The proposed institute will advance knowledge and train particpants in the fundamental problems of atmospheric and space sciences. The PASI will consist of training/workshop sessions where current research results will be presented while introducing state-of-the-art observational and theoretical methods in upper atmosphere research. Expected outcomes from this PASI include: (a) training participants from the Americas with the theoretical and practical background to pursue or continue research careers in atmospheric and space science; (b) identifying needed instruments for deployment in South America; and (c) promoting collaborations between researchers to address global challenges. The PASI sessions will be recorded using audio/video and the results will be disseminated both through the web and in printed form.
