Gordon Research Conferences (GRC) Radiation and Climate: Connecting Observations to Global Circulation Modeling Challenges; Lewiston, Maine; July 15-21, 2017

该奖项为参加2017年夏天在缅因州举行的戈登辐射与气候研究会议的早期职业科学家提供资金。这次会议的题目是“将观测结果与全球环流模拟挑战联系起来”。会议的目标是将建模者、理论家和观测学家聚集在一起，以确定和解决当前全球环流模式中存在的突出问题和重大不确定性。这次会议具有双重影响，一是改善社会效益的模式，二是培养下一代科学家，让他们充分参与有关该领域现状和下一步发展的讨论。第十届戈登研究会议（GRC）和第四届戈登研究研讨会（GRS）将于2017年7月在缅因州刘易斯顿的贝茨学院举行。主要会议分为八个会议，每个会议都有一个特邀讨论主持人和两到三位特邀演讲者，内容涉及辐射和气候方面的突出挑战。会议的主题包括：稳定性和湿度、对流聚集、卷云和北极云的混合相过程。GRS在GRC之前举行，将允许大约60名研究生和早期职业科学家分享和展示他们的工作。

This award provides funding for early career scientists to attend the Gordon Research Conference on Radiation and Climate in Maine in the summer of 2017. The title of this conference is "Connecting Observations to Global Circulation Modeling Challenges." The goal of the conference is to bring modelers and theorists together with observationalists to identify and tackle outstanding questions and significant uncertainties that are present in current global circulation models. The conference has a dual impact of improving models for societal benefit and developing the next generation of scientists by allowing them to fully engage in discussions about the state of the field and the next steps forward.The 10th Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and 4th Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) will be held at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine in July 2017. The main meeting is divided into eight sessions, each with an invited discussion lead and two or three invited speakers covering an area of outstanding challenges in radiation and climate. Sessions will be convened on topics such as: stability and moisture, convective aggregation, cirrus clouds, and mixed phase processes in Arctic clouds. The GRS, which is held immediately prior to the GRC, will allow about 60 graduate students and early career scientists to share and present their work.
