Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Radiation and Climate in 2009; New London, New Hampshire

该补助金是支持戈登研究会议（GRC）2009年辐射和气候。会议将于2009年7月5日至10日在新罕布什尔州新伦敦的科尔比索耶学院举行。它将介绍关于全球气候变化突出问题的前沿研究，重点是气候系统的辐射强迫和敏感性以及相关的物理过程。会议将讨论辐射与气候的重大挑战、辐射强迫、气候反馈、气候系统中的云过程、气候变化中的水文循环、气溶胶吸收与亚洲季风、近期气候变化和地球工程等问题。受邀演讲者将介绍这些领域最近最重要的进展和未来的挑战。会议将汇集一批处于各自领域前沿的主要研究人员，并将为科学家，特别是年轻科学家和研究生提供机会，以海报形式展示他们的工作，并与该领域的领导人交换意见。本次会议的程序化讨论会为来自不同学科的科学家提供了一个集思广益的途径，并促进了所代表的各个研究领域的跨学科合作。GRC参与者有机会讨论未发表的工作，并在形成阶段探索新的问题和想法。青年科学家的知识转让和联网是这项赠款的预期成果。

The grant is to support the Gordon Research Conference (GRC) 2009 on Radiation and Climate. The conference will be held at the Colby-Sawyer College, New London, NH on July 5-10, 2009. It will present cutting-edge research on the outstanding issues in global climate change with focus on the radiative forcing and sensitivity of the climate system and associated physical processes. The conference will feature a wide range of topics, including grand challenges in radiation and climate, radiative forcing, climate feedbacks, cloud processes in climate system, hydrological cycle in changing climate, absorbing aerosols and Asian monsoon, recent climate changes, and geo-engineering. The invited speakers will present the recent most important advances and future challenges in these areas. The Conference will bring together a collection of leading investigators who are at the forefront of their field, and will provide opportunities for scientists especially junior scientists and graduate students to present their work in poster format and exchange ideas with leaders in the field. This Conference with programmed discussion sessions provides an avenue for scientists from different disciplines to brainstorm and promotes cross-disciplinary collaborations in the various research areas represented. GRC participants have the opportunity to discuss unpublished work and to explore new issues and ideas in the formative stage. Knowledge transfer and networking for young scientists is an expected outcome from this grant.
