ACDC2022: “The Dynamics of the Global Water Cycle”
Advanced Climate Dynamics Courses (ACDC) are yearly summer schools organized by the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research (University of Bergen) in collaboration with the University of Washington, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and the University of Texas at Austin supported by ACER funded by the Norwegian Agency for International Cooperation and Quality Enhancement in Higher Education (DIKU) and the Research School on Changing Climates in the coupled Earth System (CHESS). Partners for this year’s summer school include Harvard University, McGill University, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and IBS Centre for Climate Physics.
Topic: Dynamics of the Global Water Cycle
Venue: Rondvassbu, Rondane National Park, Norway
Dates: 4 – 16 September 2022
Target: Focused on advanced graduate students (PhDs). Other applications will be considered on a case by case basis if there is space (admission is competitive).
Goal: To mix diverse students and lecturers with empirical and dynamical training within climate science and focus on understanding the basic principles and dynamics relating the global water cycle.
Key topics to be included:
- Atmospheric moisture, clouds, and aerosols
- Extreme weather
- Ocean circulation and the freshwater budget
- Floods and flood variability
- Soil moisture and climate
- Water balance and agriculture
- Paleo evidence of the hydrological cycle
- Sea level and ice sheets
- Cryosphere, ice-ocean interaction, and ice-cores.
