Winter School announcement:

Putting People on the Land.
Introducing the interactions between terrestrial ecosystems,
climate and society
Institute of Meteorology and Climate Research (KIT/IMK-IFU),
Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany
March 3-6, 2015

The terrestrial biosphere forms the interface between the atmosphere and much of
the Earth?s land surface; it mediates the carbon, nitrogen and hydrological cycles,
and profoundly influences the surface energy balance. Thus, the biosphere exerts a
substantial control on both local and global climate, particularly through its sequestration
of anthropogenic carbon emissions. It also performs a wide range of other
services such as the provision of food and raw materials, removal of air pollutants
and suppression of pests and diseases. However, the composition and performance
of the biosphere is greatly influenced by human-induced alteration of the climate
and atmospheric composition, whilst anthropogenic land-use change has completely
transformed ecosystems and their interactions with the surrounding Earth
system.

This course aims to give a broad overview of the role of the terrestrial biosphere in
the Earth system, with a strong focus on anthropogenic land-use change and management,
and their implications. The course consists of lectures and model-based
practical sessions. It is especially aimed at those new to the field, although more
experienced reseachers are welcome. The venue will be the beautiful town (and ski resort!)
of Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Germany. More information about the course can be found
at http://www.micmor.kit.edu/sites/default/files/LUC4C_Course_Flyer.pdf

To apply please send a motivation letter (max. 1 page), a CV and a recommendation
letter from your supervisor or mentor to the MICMoR Coordination Office at
info@micmor.kit.edu by Monday, 24th November 2014. Successful applicants will
be notified by 15th December. There is a course fee of ? 60. Participants are
responsible for their own travel and accommodation costs

The Department of Physics at the University of Auckland (New Zealand) is
seeking applications for two PhD fellowships starting in 2015 to
investigate tropical atmospheric variability on diurnal to intraseasonal
scales. The successful applicants will research the following topics:

1. Rainfall over tropical islands
Freshwater supply on tropical islands faces risks due to climate change,
such as the salinization of the freshwater lens associated with the rise
in sea level, or perturbations associated with a change in precipitation
(insufficient recharge in case of droughts, pollution in case of extreme
rainfall events). Understanding the precipitation over tropical islands
is still a challenge. Tropical islands witness more precipitation than
the surrounding oceans. Multiple factors explain this contrast,
including the orography and effects of the diurnal cycle of insolation
such as the land-sea breezes. The respective roles of the different
factors are still to be quantified. Rainfall over islands is also
modulated by the larger-scale variability of the tropical climate, on
time scales of a few weeks to a few years. The project aims at better
understanding the factors that control precipitation over tropical
islands and its variability at diurnal to intraseasonal scales, using
observations and both cloud-resolving and idealized models.

2. Atmospheric response to tropical diabatic heating
The interaction between latent heat release by condensation in the
clouds and the atmospheric circulation is at the heart of many features
of the tropical climate such as hurricanes, monsoons, and modes of
intraseasonal variability (on timescales between 10 and 90 days). The
most prominent mode of intraseasonal variability is called the
Madden-Julian Oscillation; it is characterized by the eastward
propagation of a large group of clouds from the equatorial Indian Ocean
to the Pacific, and its prediction would open perspectives for long-term
weather forecast (up to one month) in the Australasian region. However,
how this group of clouds forms and propagates is not perfectly
understood and poorly simulated in the state-of-the-art weather forecast
models. Many questions remain about the role of the circulation
associated with these clouds in the development and propagation of the
Madden-Julian Oscillation. The project aims to develop a better
understanding this circulation by using models of the tropical
atmosphere of increasing complexity, from idealized to realistic, and
comparing with observations.

Please contact Gilles Bellon (gilles.bellon@auckland.ac.nz) for more
information or to send an application. Applicants will require a strong
Honours or Masters degree in a physical sciences discipline and an
excellent command of English. They will need to meet the requirements of
the University of Auckland?s PhD programme
(<http://www.auckland.ac.nz/uoa/home/for/international-students/is-entry-requirements>).
A good command of mathematics and programming would be an advantage.
Applications should include a CV, copies of academic transcripts, a
brief (1 page maximum) statement of research experience and aspirations,
and the names of at least two people who can provide personal letters of
reference.

Projects are based in the Department of Physics at the University of
Auckland. The University of Auckland is the most highly rated University
in New Zealand, and Auckland is consistently rated as one of the world's
top 10 most liveable cities. The tax-free stipend will be $25,000 NZD
per year for three years and all tuition fees will be covered. Travel
opportunities will be available, including collaboration visits where
appropriate. Both projects will be contributing to international
collaborative initiatives.
