(June 14 to 25, 2010)
A two-week Refresher Course on ‘Frontiers in Atmospheric Sciences’ will be held at Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Pune during June 14 to 25, 2010 for college/university teachers and post-graduate students. Atmospheric science has emerged as an important branch of science in recent times because of its increasing recognition and the need for better forecasting of weather and climate to meet the exigencies of the threats due to natural calamities such as floods, droughts, and lightning or due to man-made deterioration of the environment. This Refresher Course is intended to impart knowledge on some important frontline topics of contemporary interest such as climate and climatic change, global warming, atmospheric pollution, weather forecasting, climate forecasting, weather modification, physics and dynamics of tropical clouds, thunderstorms, global electric circuit etc. This course will include lectures by eminent scientists and visits to the state-of-art computer and instrumentation facilities. This course will provide an excellent opportunity to get an insight to the latest development and modern outlook of atmospheric science for students who plan to make their careers in atmospheric sciences or for the teachers who teach atmospheric science/physics.
