South Caucasus-Black Sea Regional Climate Conference | (smr 3122)
The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP, Trieste, Italy) in collaboration with Batumi Shota Rustaveli State University (BSU) is organizing a 3-day regional Conference on the Effects of climate change in South Caucasus-Black Sea region. This regional Conference will bring together scientists and students from Georgia/Caucasus/Black Sea region to initiate the dialogue and experience shearing for two main processes at play: unsustainable use of environmental resources and the global climate change. Countries in Caucasus-Black Sea region now suffer from increased frequency and intensity of extreme events such as floods, landslides, etc, as a result of the environmental changes. Such extreme events are expected to be exacerbated by climate changes. Numerical simulation and regional climate models are valuable tools to assess such impacts. The focal point will be to teach trainees how to set up the ICTP Regional Climate Model RegCM4 for the study of past, present and projected climate. The trainees will also learn how to use observational products and processing tools for climate data analysis.
Topics:
• South Caucasus-Black Sea Regional climate modeling
• Regional Climate Model system RegCM4
• Climate change and extreme events impact
• Environmental issues in the Southern Caucasus – Black Sea region

Advanced School on Tropical-Extratropical Interactions on Intra-Seasonal Time Scales | (smr 3155)
An increasing appreciation of intra-seasonal interactions between the tropics and extra-tropics has raised the possibility of increased predictability of significant circulation and weather anomalies in many regions. This school will introduce this new perspective to the students, giving them hands-on experience in the computer lab.
This school will introduce this new perspective to the students, giving them hands-on experience in the computer lab.
During the first week of the School, the lecturers will review the state of knowledge of Tropical- Extratropical interactions, with an emphasis on basic dynamics, and on hypotheses that can be tested with the forecasts and re-forecasts from a number of operational centers and possibly experiments with the ICTP climate model. Lectures will be held in the mornings.
In the afternoons, the students (participants) will form teams to design lab projects to explore the relationships discussed in the morning, using the S2S forecast database http://journals.ametsoc.org/ doi/abs/10.1175/BAMS-D-16-0017.1
and possibly design experiments with the ICTP climate model (SPEEDY) https://www.ictp.it/research/esp/models/speedy. aspx.
During the second week, the lecturers will cover more advanced research, and the participants will continue their projects, in consultation with the lecturers.
The topics center on the role of intra-seasonal interactions between the tropics and extra-tropics in increased potential predictability of significant circulation and weather anomalies in many regions
