************IGCR Formal Seminar **********************
Dr. J. Shukla, Director of COLA will give us two lectures on 15 Aug.
2000 as shown below.
The first one will be the IGCR Formal Seminar and the second
is informal, especially for those who are interested in monsoons.
Speaker: Dr. J. Shukla
Professor, George Mason University (GMU)
Director, Center for Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Studies (COLA)
Date & time: 14:00~16:15 Tue. August 15, 2000
Title:14:00~15:00 Seasonal Predictability: ENSO and PNA
15:00~15:15 Break
15:15~16:15 monsoon research at COLA
Place: IGCR Seminar room
Abstract:
"Seasonal Predictability: ENSO and PNA"
The problems and prospects for dynamical seasonal prediction are
reviewed.
It is shown that as models have improved, the seasonal predictions and
the
estimates of predictability have also improved.
It is found that winter mean circulation over the Pacific-North
American
regions is highly predicable during strong ENSO events. However, it
is
shown that contrary to the conventional wisdom that the ENSO forces
PNA,
the
ENSO forced circulation over the Pacific-North American region is
distinctly
different from PNA.
Profile:
Dr. J. Shukla, Sc.D., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1976,
Ph.D.,
Benaras Hindu University, 1971. President, IGES; Prof. Earth Sciences
and
Global Change, George Mason University. Dr. Shukla conducts research
on
predictability of the coupled ocean-atmosphere-biosphere system,
predictability of the tropical atmosphere, monsoon dynamics,
reanalysis,
deforestation and desertification. His research has shown that the
influence
of boundary conditions at the earth surface provides a physical basis
for
predictability of climate in the midst of chaos. Dr. Shukla, was a
Junior
Scientific officer at IITM, Poona, post-doctoral research associate at
Princeton University, visiting associate professor at MIT, senior
research
scientist at NASA Goddard, and a professor of meteorology at the
University
of Maryland (1983-1993). He is author/coauthor of 150 scientific
papers,
reports and book chapters; thesis adviser/ coadviser for 14 Ph.D.
students;
chair/member of national and international scientific committees. He
is
an
associate Fellow of the Third World Academy of Sciences.
