2nd International Winter School and Workshop
on Climate/Environment Change
Theme: Climate Sensitivity and Feedback
Where : Engineer Building B, Ewha Womans University, Seoul, Korea
When : January 4-7, 2011 The Center for Climate/Environmental Change Prediction Research (CCCPR) at Ewha Womans University (EWU) hosts the 2nd International Winter School and Workshop on Climate/Environment Change on January 4-7, 2011, focusing on climate sensitivity and feedback. Climate sensitivity assesses potential changes in the Earth’s climate system as a response of human’s greenhouse gas emission. Climate sensitivity hinges on climate feedbacks that are associated with many climate/ environmental components: moisture, cloud, precipitation, vegetation, ice, etc. Understanding climate sensitivity and feedback is of particular importance for improving climate prediction. Graduate students and junior scientists around the world who are interested in this topic are strongly encouraged to attend this winter school. Scientists and students who are currently doing researches in this field are invited to submit abstracts to the workshop, which will be held in parallel with the winter school. For the winter school, we have invited three lecturers who are leading scientists in this field in both theoretical and practical aspects:
Prof. Richard S. Lindzen, the MIT Sloan Professor of Meteorology, is a world-renowned erudite scholar in climate dynamics and physics. Over 40 years, he has published over 230 papers in climate research. Prof. Roberto Rondanelli is an MIT-trained scientist and is now an assistant professor at University of Chile. He works on tropical cloud/precipitation feedbacks, using a simple model and satellite data. Dr. Sungsu Park is an NCAR scientist who plays a leading role in developing cloud parameterizations in a global climate model called CAM. Our three invited lecturers will provide theoretical backgrounds and the front-end researches in climate sensitivity and feedbacks, exercises in simple and complicated global climate modeling, and analysis techniques of satellite observations. Abstracts (one page) for the workshop should be submitted by October 30, 2010 at www.cccpr.org. Information on registrations for both the workshop and the winter school will be provided later.
Questions should be sent to Ms. Nara Hong (CCCPR secretary) at ercewha@gmail.com.
More detailed information can be found in our website at http://www.cccpr.org/.
Convener: Prof. Seon K. Park, Director, CCCPR/EWU (spark@ewha.ac.kr)
Co-Convener: Prof. Yong-Sang Choi, Assistant Director, CCCPR/EWU (ysc@ewha.ac.kr)
Abstracts are for the poster presentations that will be exhibited in the hall during this event. Some distinguished abstracts will be presented orally between the classes.
We will also have an opportunity to introduce each poster by the first author during 3 minutes, between the classes. Travel expenses of selected students from the third countries will be supported by our center.

Prof. Richard S. Lindzen, Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Meteorology, MITddd | |

Professor Lindzen is a dynamical meteorologist with interests in the broad topics of climate, planetary waves, monsoon meteorology, planetary atmospheres, and hydrodynamic instability. His research involves studies of the role of the tropics in mid-latitude weather and global heat transport, the moisture budget and its role in global change, the origins of ice ages, seasonal effects in atmospheric transport, stratospheric waves, and the observational determination of climate sensitivity. He has made major contributions to the development of the current theory for the Hadley Circulation, which dominates the atmospheric transport of heat and momentum from the tropics to higher latitudes, and has advanced the understanding of the role of small scale gravity waves in producing the reversal of global temperature gradients at the mesopause.
He pioneered the study of how ozone photochemistry, radiative transfer and dynamics interact with each other. He is currently studying the ways in which unstable eddies determine the pole to equator temperature difference, and the nonlinear equilibration of baroclinic instability and the contribution of such instabilities to global heat transport. In the past few years, he has been studying the influence of temperature on cumulus convection and its role in generating cirrus decks. The results so far strongly suggest a powerful negative feedback in climate.
He has developed models for the Earth's climate with specific concern for the stability of the ice caps, the sensitivity to increases in CO2, the origin of the 100,000 year cycle in glaciation, and the maintenance of regional variations in climate.
Prof. Lindzen is a recipient of the AMS's Meisinger, and Charney Awards, and the AGU's Macelwane Medal. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a Fellow of the AAAS. (Ph.D., '64, S.M., '61, A.B., '60, Harvard University)
