[CCSM-Paleoclimate] CESM Tutorial Application NOW OPEN

[Barbara Ballard]

  Good morning,

The Community Earth System Model (CESM) project at the National Center 
for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) will hold the 2nd Annual CESM Tutorial 
on climate modeling 1 - 5 August 2011 in Boulder, Colorado. The focus 
will be on modeling of the coupled climate system and its major components.

The tutorial is targeted at graduate students who wish to learn how to 
understand, run, and modify climate models for scientific applications. 
The focus will be on CESM specifically. Specific content will be 
tailored to meet students’ needs.

The tutorial will last 5 days and include:
(a) Lectures on climate modeling, focusing on techniques and approaches 
in CESM
(b) Practical sessions on running and modifying the components of CESM

Because space is limited, we are asking for a brief on-line application 
to balance attendees across institutions and for distributing funding.

Please apply in one of three categories:
(a) participant requesting full travel support (airfare, per diem, 
lodging, local ground transportation)
(b) participant requesting partial support (per diem, lodging, local 
ground transportation)
(c) participant requesting no support

Application deadline is 25 March 2011. We expect to notify participants 
by late April with the status of your request to attend the tutorial and 
what level of funding we are able to provide to you.

Thank you,
Barbara Ballard
