dear all,

this is just a reminder that the deadline for applications for the Ghana
summer school of weather and climate forecasting is fast approaching.
Details of the school are given below.

The lecturer line-up has expanded to include a wide range of expertise
in the atmospheric sciences, and field site experiments (tethered
balloon, piballs, ground flux stations) and lab classes in crop and
water resource software are also planned.

It promises to be a busy but very fruitful and enjoyable two week event!

Please see below for application details,

on behalf of the organising committee,

2008, this summer school aims at bringing together students,
researchers and forecasters from Africa and around the world to
participate in field studies and lectures and practical classes in

West African Meteorology and Climate

Applications in Agriculture & Water Resource Management

An important aspect of the Summer School is the ample time allotted
to discussions/interactions and oral/poster presentations from
participants.

Funding

The Summer School forms part of the ICTP Training and Capacity
building programme in meteorology and climate science, and is funded
by a grant from the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAE grant
241.FITU.11.G).

PARTICIPATION

The Summer School is open to scientists, young researchers and PhD
students working in areas of Atmospheric Physics, Meteorology,
Climatology, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences without workshop
fees. Scholarships will be available to postgraduate students from
African countries outside Ghana. For non-African students, a
participation fee of 400 EUR will be paid to take care of
accommodation, internal transport and feeding for the entire duration
of the summer school.
