The Innsbruck Summer School of Alpine Research (InnSAR) on Surface-Atmosphere Exchange over Mountainous Terrain to will be held in Innsbruck, Austria from 23-29 August 2015.
Surface-Atmosphere exchange processes play an essential role in a wide range of fields such as numerical weather prediction, climate modeling, glaciology, air pollution assessment and environmental modeling and hydrology. In complex mountainous terrain not only the models need to be adapted to slanting surfaces and inherently non-homogeneous conditions, also many observational techniques require special attention and process understanding must be revisited. InnSAR will provide state-of-the-art knowledge on these topics through lectures, excursions and hands-on student projects with a focus on:
Planetary boundary layer processes in complex terrain
Trace gas and aerosol exchange in mountainous region
Mass and energy fluxes over snow and ice surfaces
The Summer School is organized by the Institute of Meteorology and Geophysics, University of Innsbruck, Austria. Interested PhD students and young scientists are invited to watch the InnSAR website for further information send an email to This email address is being protected from spambots.
