The 5th Summer School on Theory, Mechanisms and Hierarchical Modeling of Climate Dynamics: Convection and Clouds will hosted by ICTP with the financial support of PIMS. It will be held over three weeks this summer, July 1-19, 2024, in Trieste, Italy.
The school will include lectures on convective self-aggregation in idealized experiments, precipitation extremes associated with organized convection, convection parameterization and stochastic models, machine learning for convection and clouds, and observations of convective organization. Hands-on projects will be conducted in the 3rd week using observations or model simulations.
More information can be found in the attached flyer and on the website at
https://indico.ictp.it/event/10490/. The summer school welcomes attendance from graduate students and junior scientists (i.e., postdocs).
The school also includes the 4th Workshop on convective organization and precipitation extremes (WCO4) in week 2 (
July 9-12), and all school participants are invited to submit an abstract for consideration as a poster or talk at the conference. The workshop is open to submissions from all researchers, though the number of attendees is limited due to capacity limitations. More information about the workshop can be found at
https://indico.ictp.it/event/10579/The application deadline for both events is April 8.
