CMG TRAINING: Summer School on Geophysical Turbulent Phenomena

由于其固有的多学科性质，以及对现代观测和实验技术、理论和计算的依赖，地球物理湍流领域对于研究生和博士后研究人员来说是很难掌握的。总的来说，这一领域的进步需要来自不同背景的科学家的共同努力，这些科学家对所使用的方法学有着深刻的理解，对所有组成部分都有着深刻的理解。因此，年轻的研究人员通常需要精通观察、应用数学、高级科学计算和数据分析。认识到这一事实，科罗拉多大学和国家大气研究中心地球科学应用数学研究所将举办为期三周的地球物理湍流现象暑期班。 学校将吸引25 -30名最具竞争力的学生，他们将在与地球物理湍流现象相关的三个重要的协同重点领域学习：（a）观测和实验;（B）地球物理现象的理论方法和建模;（c）计算方法、科学计算和可视化。学生将来自广泛的学科，包括应用数学、计算科学、大气和海洋科学，地球物理学湍流现象是对气候系统至关重要的一系列知之甚少的过程的基础。这些领域的进展需要数学家、计算科学家和地球科学家之间的合作研究。这个为期三周的暑期学校将在该领域的三个关键领域各投入一周的时间：1）观察和实验，2）理论和建模问题，3）计算方法，科学计算和可视化。学生将参加由主要讲师和研究讲师在这三个领域的每一个讲座。此外，大量的时间将用于地球物理湍流的实践练习，学生将在小型多学科合作小组中工作。学生在学校获得的技能和经验将对他们当前和未来的研究产生直接和重大的影响，提高他们在论文研究中取得重要成果的能力。学校将由国家大气研究中心共同赞助，该中心将分担一半的费用。 通过在大气、海洋和气候科学这一基本领域为地球科学家提供坚实的基础，学校将为该领域未来的卓越贡献力量。 将招募一批多样化的学生和讲师，扩大科学界的多样性。学生将接受跨学科培训，并在跨学科协作环境中实践工作。学生将在积极研究的重要领域接受培训。学校建立的跨学科关系将促进学生的职业发展，提高他们成为优秀研究人员的能力。

Due to its inherent multidisciplinary nature, and its reliance onmodern observational and experimental techniques, theory, andcomputation, the field of geophysical turbulence is difficult forgraduate students and postdoctoral researchers to master. Advancementin the field, by-and-large, requires a collaborative effort involvingscientists with diverse backgrounds having an understanding of themethodologies utilized and an appreciation of all the component parts.Young researchers are thus often required to be proficient inobserving, applied mathematics, advanced scientific computing, anddata analysis. In recognition of this fact, the University of Coloradoand the Institute for Mathematics Applied to the Geosciences at theNational Center for Atmospheric Research will host a three week summerschool on Geophysical Turbulent Phenomena. The school will attract25-30 of the most competitive students in three important synergisticfocus areas associated with Geophysical Turbulent phenomena:(a) Observation and Experimentation;(b) Theoretical Methodology for and Modeling of Geophysical Phenomena;(c) Computation Methods, Scientific Computing and Visualization.The students will come from a wide array of disciplines includingapplied mathematics, computational science, atmospheric and oceanicscience, and applied and fundamental physics.Geophysical turbulent phenomena are the foundation for a broad rangeof poorly understood processes that are critical to the climatesystem. Advances in these areas require collaborative research betweenmathematicians, computational scientists, and geoscientists. Theproposed three-week summer school will devote one week to each ofthree crucial areas of the field: 1) observations and experimentation,2) theoretical and modeling issues, and 3) computational methods,scientific computing and visualization. Students will attend lecturesby principal lecturers and research lecturers in each of the threeareas. In addition, significant time will be devoted to practicalexercises in geophysical turbulence, were the students will work insmall multidisciplinary collaborative groups. The skills andexperiences students gain in the school will have a direct andsignificant impact on their current and future research, enhancingtheir ability to achieve important results in their thesis research.The school will be co-sponsored by the National Center for AtmosphericResearch, which will share half the costs. By providing youngscientists with a solid foundation in this fundamental area ofatmospheric, oceanic, and climate science, the school will serve tocontribute to future excellence in the field. A diverse group ofstudents and lecturers will be recruited, broadening diversity in thescientific community. Students will receive interdisciplinarytraining, and practice working in an interdisciplinary collaborativesetting. Students will be trained in important areas of activeresearch. The cross-disciplinary relationships built in this schoolwill enhance the students' careers and improve their ability to becomesuccessful researchers.
