Between 26 and 27 November 2012 the Workshop on Southern Hemisphere and South America climate will be held in Buenos Aires, Argentina back-to-back with the SPARC SSG Meeting and the WCRP Special Workshop on Climate Effects on Ozone Depletion.

SPARC (Stratospheric Processes And their Role in Climate) is a core project of the World Climate Research Program (WCRP) that coordinates international efforts to bring knowledge of the stratosphere to bear on relevant issues in climate variability and prediction. SPARC provides expertise in several key areas related to climate variability and climate change, such as dynamical variability, ozone, stratosphere-troposphere dynamical coupling, gravity waves, temperature trends, data assimilation, etc. Southern Hemisphere and in particular South America are regions of the world in which the research of those key themes are relevant and need to be expanded and strengthened.

Abstracts describing research activities related to the SPARC agenda -http://www.sparc-climate.org/- with focus on Southern Hemisphere or South America are welcome.

Limited fundings are available to fully or partially support the participation of researchers or students from South America. Both, the abstracts and applications for grants should be submitted to Andrea Carril  carril@cima.fcen.uba.ar  until August 31.
