The workshop entitled Monsoons and Inter-tropical Convergence Zones (ITCZ): the annual cycle in the Holocene and the future will be held at Columbia University, September 15-18, 2015. It will foster interactions between scientists versed in paleo climate observations and modeling, theorists of the general circulation of the atmosphere, experts in convection and the organization of rain-bearing disturbances, and climate modelers and climate scientists focusing on future projections. The workshop will provide a forum for a lively exchange of ideas between eminent leaders in the field, early career scientists, and participating students from both the host institution and nearby institutions, including those with high minority enrollment, such as the City University of New York. NSF support will go towards support for the participation by students and postdoctoral scholars, in particular from groups underrepresented in science and engineering. The focus will be on modeling and theoretical understanding of the annual cycle of oceanic ITCZ and land monsoons in the present climate, the past, and the future. Coupled General Circulation Models fail to accurately reproduce the position and strength of the Tropical precipitation maxima both in the current climate and in the past. Talks will be posted on the symposium website after the event, and a summary article highlighting the conclusions of the workshop will be published.

研讨会题为季风和热带辐合带（ITCZ）：在全新世和未来的年度周期将在哥伦比亚大学，2015年9月15日至18日举行。它将促进精通古气候观测和建模的科学家、大气环流理论家、对流和降雨扰动组织专家以及气候建模者和侧重于未来预测的气候科学家之间的互动。该研讨会将为该领域的杰出领导人、早期职业科学家以及来自主办机构和附近机构（包括少数族裔入学率高的机构，例如城市大学）的参与学生之间生动地交流想法提供一个论坛。纽约。国家科学基金会的支持将用于支持学生和博士后学者的参与，特别是来自科学和工程领域代表性不足的群体。重点将是对海洋ITCZ和陆地季风在当前气候，过去和未来的年周期的建模和理论理解。耦合大气环流模式不能准确地再现热带降水最大值在当前气候和过去的位置和强度。会后将在专题讨论会网站上公布讨论情况，并将发表一篇摘要文章，重点介绍讲习班的结论。
