Stratosphere-troposphere interactions

Earth system modelling

Workshop: Is the stratosphere, the atmospheric layer between ~10-50 km, important for predicting weather and climate changes? How does the stratosphere interact with the troposphere below? These issues were the focus of a workshop held in Whistler, BC, Canada in 2003. >> click here for the workshop website.

Summary: The conclusions of the workshop were published in a Perspectives article in Science. >> click here for the article.

Workshop: Earth system modelling encompasses all the processes that influence climate, from the atmosphere, oceans and ice caps through to interactions with forests and marine life. A was held in Cambridge, UK, in 2003 to review the current state of Earth system modelling. A key focus of this workshop was research undertaken using the gigantic Earth Simulator computer in Japan. The use of e-science technologies to facilitate research also played a major part in this event. >> click here for the programme.

Press and media information: The workshop recieved considerable media coverage.
