Training School on stratosphere-troposphere interactions
The IUGG/WCRP-SPARC training school on stratosphere-troposphere interactions is jointly organised by SPARC (Stratosphere-troposphere Processes And their Role in Climate, a core project of the World Climate Research Programme), the Climate Systems Analysis Group (CSAG) at the University of Cape Town, and the International Commission on the Middle Atmosphere (ICMA) of IAMAS (International Association of Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences).
The training school will take place directly after the IAPSO/IAMAS/IAGA international conference (Cape Town from 28 August to 1 September 2017) and is aimed at advanced Masters and PhD students. The programme covers lectures and hands-on practical sessions as well as mini-projects that are to be completed during the school. Three main themes will be covered: Tropospheric dynamics and climate, stratospheric dynamics and chemistry, and stratosphere-troposphere interactions. More information about the school as well as the application form can be found at: www.sparc-climate.org/meetings/Training_school_on_stratosphere_troposphere_interactions_Sep2017
