Water vapor is a key element essential to most forms of life and one which connects multiple spheres within the earth system. Techniques to accurately track its movement and transformations (e.g., use of isotopic tracers for hydrological processes, microphysical studies of in-cloud processes, and representations of water vapor transport and precipitation processes within global atmospheric circulation models) are continuously evolving. These and other related topics will be the focus of a joint American-European summer school titled "Water Vapour in the Climate System", to be held September 14-26, 2009, in Cargese, Corsica.A mix of established scientists, students and postdoctoral research associates drawn from diverse communities including numerical modelers, data analysts, and experts in satellite and in-situ observing systems will gather to exchange information on the latest advances and techniques within this active arena of research. Partner European agencies will supply meeting facilities and host services, while funds distributed under this grant will provide partial travel support for approximately one dozen U.S.-based students and postdoctoral research associates attending this summer school.The intellectual merit of the workshop is high because it will bring together both established and early-career researchers from a broad range of sub-disciplines. Broader impacts stem from the societal importance of global cloud and precipitation processes that hinge on the water vapor cycle, the recruitment of a diverse group of attendees including members of underrepresented groups, and promotion of international collaborations.

水蒸气是大多数生命形式所必需的关键元素，也是连接地球系统内多个球体的关键元素。 精确跟踪其运动和变换的技术（例如，水文过程同位素示踪剂的使用、云中过程的微物理研究以及全球大气环流模型中水汽输送和降水过程的表示等）都在不断发展。 这些和其他相关主题将是一个名为“气候系统中的水汽”的美欧联合暑期学校的重点，该学校将于2009年9月14日至26日在科西嘉岛的Cargese举行。卫星和现场观测系统的专家将聚集一堂，就这一活跃的竞技场研究领域的最新进展和技术交流信息。 欧洲合作伙伴机构将提供会议设施和接待服务，而这笔赠款下分配的资金将为大约12名美国人提供部分旅行支持。参加这个暑期学校的学生和博士后研究人员。研讨会的智力价值很高，因为它将汇集来自广泛的子学科的成熟和早期职业研究人员。 更广泛的影响源于全球云和降水过程的社会重要性，这些过程取决于水蒸气循环，招募不同的与会者群体，包括代表性不足的群体成员，以及促进国际合作。
