Pan American Advanced Studies Institute on Atmospheric Processes in Latin America and the Caribbean: Observations, Analysis, and Impacts; Cartagena, Colombia, Spring 2013

将于2013年在哥伦比亚卡塔赫纳举办泛美高级研究所关于拉丁美洲和加勒比大气过程：观测、分析和影响的会议。 首席研究员约翰·布劳恩将与赫克托·莫拉佩兹（哥伦比亚地质调查局大地测量数据处理和分析中心）、安吉尔·G·佩茨（Angel G. Munoz（委内瑞拉苏利亚大学科学建模中心）和Olga L. Mayol-Bracero（里约彼德拉斯波多黎各大学热带生态系统研究所）：这一短期课程旨在培养一批对区域大气过程感兴趣的早期职业科学家，并将其作为向这些研究人员介绍加勒比连续运行观测网的一种方式。COCONet是一个全球导航卫星系统仪器和地面气象台站的区域网络，将提供加勒比和拉丁美洲各地连续的总气柱可降水水汽、地面压力、温度、相对湿度、水平风和降水测量数据。 该课程将全面总结对该区域至关重要的关键过程的知识状况，包括全球远程连接、区域季风系统、海洋-空气相互作用、飓风和区域水分来源及其输送。 该课程将包括讲座、计算练习、接触观测数据集和大气模型场以及软件培训。 讲师和学生都将代表美洲的一些国家。 因此，该PASI将为推进伙伴关系和开始新的合作提供一个环境。 这项活动的目的是让美洲的年轻科学家有机会获得他们国家以外的专业经验？边境

A Pan American Advanced Studies Institute (PASI) on Atmospheric Processes of Latin America and the Caribbean: Observations, Analysis, and Impacts will be held be held in Cartagena, Colombia, in 2013. The Principal Investigator, John Braun, will be joined on the organizing committee by Hector Mora Paez (Center for Processing and Analysis of Geodetic Data, Colombian Geological Survey), Angel G. Munoz (Center for Scientific Modeling, Universidad del Zulia, Venezuela) and Olga L. Mayol-Bracero (Institute for Tropical Ecosystem Studies, University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras).This short course is intended to foster a community of early career scientists who are interested in regional atmospheric processes, and is intended as a way of introducing these researchers to the Continuously Operating Caribbean Observational Network (COCONet). COCONet is a regional network of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) instruments and surface meteorology stations that will provide continuous total column precipitable water vapor, surface pressure, temperature, relative humidity, horizontal winds, and precipitation measurements across the Caribbean and Latin America. The course will provide a comprehensive summary of the state of knowledge of the key processes that are important to the region including global tele-connections, regional monsoon systems, ocean-air interactions, hurricanes, and regional sources of moisture and its transport. The course will contain lectures, computing exercises, exposure to observational datasets and atmospheric model fields, and software training. Both the lecturers and students will represent a number of countries in the Americas. Thus this PASI will provide an environment to advance partnerships and start new collaborations. The intent of this activity is to allow junior scientists in the Americas the opportunity to gain professional experience beyond their nations? borders.
