Hi All,
We would like to bring your attention to the following session:
"Advances in Atmospheric Dynamics",
which will be part of the XXV IUGG General Assembly: Earth on the Edge:
Science for a Sustainable Planet,
28 June - 7 July 2011, Melbourne
http://www.iugg2011.com
The *deadline for application with some funding assistance (for young
scientists) is Jan 17th today*.
The *regular abstract submission deadline is Feb 1st*.
The session, which encompasses various topics on atmospheric dynamics,
will include a special session in honor of Emeritus Professor Bruce
Morton. We have a nice list of confirmed invited speakers (see below).
Hope to see you there,
**Michael, Roger, Jorgen, Eyal, Hisashi, Jim, and Nili
p.s. Sorry if you got this more than once due to multiple mailing lists.
I am correcting my last announcement which had the wrong subject... :)

SESSION DETAILS:
M-07 Advances in Atmospheric Dynamics
**This session focuses on the application of geophysical fluid dynamics
and turbulence theory to the understanding of the atmospheric
circulation and climate. This includes the interaction between dynamics
and other processes such as radiation, as well as the influence of
topography and other boundary asymmetries. The emphasis will be on dry
and moist dynamics of synoptic to planetary scale atmospheric
circulations, both in the troposphere and stratosphere. Contributions
based on theoretical, diagnostic, and modeling (either realistic or
idealized) studies are invited on a range of topics including, but not
limited to, wave and cyclone growth and evolution, eddy-mean flow
interactions and possible dynamical regimes arising from it, the
dynamics of storm tracks and jet streams, the dynamics of the
stratospheric polar vortex, and its interaction with the troposphere,
topographic and/or oceanic influence on large-scale atmospheric
circulation, interactions between moist convection and large-scale flows
and dynamical implications of aerosol-cloud-climate interactions.
Contributions are sought also for a Special Session in honour of
Emeritus Professor Bruce Morton, who has been a leading figure in
Australian Meteorology. The Special Session will focus on the structure and
dynamics of subtropical or tropical weather systems that are influenced
by deep dry convection such as
heat lows, inland troughs, convergence lines, low-latitude cold fronts,
dry lines and sea breezes.
*Confirmed invited speakers:*

Lead Convenors: **Nili Harnik**, Michael Reeder, Roger Smith
