Advanced School and Workshop on American Monsoons: progress and future plans
Start time: Auguts 19, 2019

Ends on: August 24, 2019

Location: São Paulo, Brazil

Venue: IFT-UNESP

The Advanced School and Workshop will bring together scientists and
students for presenting and discussing the progress in research on the
American monsoons and their role in the global monsoon system, and for
planning future activities.

The American monsoons are important components of the global monsoon system.
A very high percentage of the annual precipitation over most of South
America occurs during the summer monsoon, including subtropical regions.
The economy, agriculture, water and energy resources and, consequently, the
livelihoods of the great majority of South America population are heavily
dependent on the summer monsoon. Also the North American monsoon provides
crucial water resources for Mexico, Central American countries, several
island nations in the Caribbean and parts of the southwest USA. Predicting
the intensity of American monsoon rainfall is not only a regional
challenge, but is also relevant in the framework of a global sub-seasonal
to seasonal forecasting system.

The Advanced School and Workshop are fostered by the Working Group on
American Monsoons, one of the regional monsoons working groups established
under the coordination of the CLIVAR/GEWEX Monsoons Panel.

Topics to be covered include:

   - Global context, main features, life cycle of the American monsoons;
   - Variability on diurnal, mesoscale and synoptic time scales;
   sub-seasonal to seasonal variability;
   - Variability on interannual and decadal/interdecadal time scales;
   modulation of extreme events by climate variability; longer term
   variability and climate change;
   - Predictability and prediction (weather, sub-seasonal, seasonal and
   longer lead times); modelling studies;
   - Impacts on society; future challenges; plans for observational
   studies, diagnostic analyses, and modelling activities. Discussions on
   future collaboration.

*Participation:*

The targeted audience includes scientists and advanced undergraduate and
graduate students, interested in the American monsoons and their role in
the global monsoon system. *There is no registration fee*, but the number
of participants is limited. Participants are encouraged to make a
presentation. If interested, please submit a short abstract of the
contribution in the online registration form which will be available within
the next days.

As a rule, support for travel and subsistence expenses should be secured by
the participants. However, limited funds are available for graduate
students and early career researchers (PhD obtained within the last 5
years) who are nationals of, and working in, a developing Latin
American country,
subject to selection by the activity organizers. Such support is available
only for those who attend the entire activity. Those applying for support
are requested to submit an abstract. As the activity will be conducted in
English, participants should have an adequate knowledge of that language.
