Region 1:
South America

Globe showing the CORDEX domain of South America

Planned Activities 2024 South America

Planned activities

-The following activity was proposed to the ICTP: 3rd ICTP/Trieste Advanced School-Workshop on Regional Climate Modeling and Extreme Events over South America to be held in Sao Paulo University during the second semester of 2024. Unfortunately, it was not selected to be funded.
-The possibility of other smaller training activities is being considered depending on financial support.
-Scientific/Academic Stay at Sao Paulo University in the context of the FPS-SESA activities: Title: Regional Climate Modeling Approaches and Extreme Precipitation Events in Southeastern South America" - CAPES-PRINT Grants to visiting researcher at University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. This project has
the objectives to plan future coordinated experiments SESA simulations based on the combination of statistical and dynamical downscaling and teach a 3-day postgraduate course on statistical
downscaling techniques and their application for climate studies. The scientific stay will be carried out by Dr. Bettolli, Maria Laura.
-We are organizing a session "Regional climate downscaling: techniques and applications in the present and future climate scenarios" as part of the "Pan-American Conference of Meteorology" in São Paulo, Brazil, in August 2024
