Taking the opportunity of the “Aerosol and Cloud experiments in the Eastern North Atlantic (ACE_ENA)” campaign, which is bringing to the Azores a group of scientists to study processes in the maritime atmosphere, the University of the Azores (through IITAA at the Faculty of Agrarian and Environmental Sciences), the University of Lisbon (through Institute Dom Luiz at the Faculty of Sciences), the Portuguese Institute for Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA) and the ACE_ENA team offer a 1 week workshop/summer_course on earth-system processes.

Despite their relatively small scales, mountain waves have important impacts on atmospheric dynamics and physics. These impacts can be local, such as the generation of clear-air turbulence (CAT) by wave breaking, downslope windstorms and the formation of rotors in the lee of mountains or hills; or global, such as the deceleration of the mid-latitude circulation, the modulation of temperatures in polar regions, or ozone transport and depletion. 

Destinado a jovens investigadores na área da Paleontologia, tem como objetivos principais proporcionar aos jovens investigadores a oportunidade de divulgar e apresentar os seus trabalhos junto da comunidade científica da especialidade e permitir a aquisição de experiência na apresentação, defesa e discussão de trabalhos de investigação num ambiente científico exigente e rigoroso.

The equivalency between the power law behavior of Multiscale entropy (MSE) and of power spectra is demonstrated, opening a promising path for interpretation of complex time-series. This relationship is applied and discussed for near surface wind time-series, providing insights to its statistical scaling behavior and the scaling regime transitions. The atmospheric water dynamics over the planet wettest regions are also discussed across temporal scales.

This meeting is part of a series of successful field symposiums that started in the early 2000’s. The meeting in Lisbon and the Algarve (3-7 September 2017) will follow this tradition and will provide an opportunity for fruitful scientific discussions. On top of all the scientific challenges, we hope to provide a lively and enjoyable environment to all the participants.
