simulations of the climatic processes related to atmospheric water vapour. This one week course is
aimed primarely at PhD students, postdocs and other young scientists wishing to broaden and
deepen their knowledge or to identify new research opportunities.
The winter school is a follow-up of the Cargese International school proposing practical sessions
that will include group activities on pedagogical exercises addressing open issues in current
research. Poster sessions animated by the students and 2 Science Cafés will be held to promote
discussion among participants.
