Vertical Transport and Mixing
The Office of Biological and Environmental Research (OBER) of the Office of Science (SC), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), hereby announces its interest in receiving proposals for the Environmental Meteorology Program (EMP), Vertical Transport and Mixing (VTMX) Science Team. The research program supports the Department's Global Change Research Program, the U.S. Global Change Research Program, and the Administration's goals to understand the meteorological processes associated with air quality and climate change. The scope of the research to be supported under this announcement is the investigation of atmospheric vertical transport and mixing processes. The geographic focus for this research will be on urban areas affected by nearby elevated terrain, with an emphasis on studies of stably stratified conditions, periods with weak or intermittent turbulence, and morning and evening transition periods. Background The goals of the program are to increase our understanding of the mechanisms responsible for vertical transport and mixing; to improve our ability to measure quantities required for this understanding; and to develop improved treatments of vertical transport and mixing for use in conceptual and numerical models.

The Department of Meteorology was founded in 1949 and throughout its history has been one of the leading meteorology programs in the country. It still is the only meteorology department in the southeastern United States to offer degrees from the bachelor of science (BS) through the doctor of philosophy (PhD). The program at The Florida State University is considered to be one of the top five in the nation. Members of the Department of Meteorology enjoy the benefits of advanced scientific equipment and a cooperative research environment with the departments of Mathematics and Oceanography, the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Institute (GFDI), and the Supercomputer Computations Research Institute (SCRI). Scientific computations are handled on equipment ranging from PCs and Macintosh computers to networks of scientific workstations and a departmental supercomputer. A high speed network connects the department to other supercomputer centers and research laboratories via a very fast campus backbone and excellent Internet connectivity to the outside world. Half of the faculty are also actively involved in National Weather Service collaboration as Fellows of the NOAA Cooperative Institute for Tropical Meteorology.

Graduate Program in
Agricultural Meteorology Department of Agronomy
Iowa State University
Goals
The goal of the Agricultural Meteorology program is to provide M.S. and Ph.D. students with advanced techniques which will enable them to address environmental and agricultural problems facing our global community. The basic components of this program are derived from expertise in agronomy, botany, statistics and meteorology at Iowa State University. The Agricultural Meteorology program benefits from outstanding research facilities. These include high-performance computational and graphical workstations, as well as a range of equipment for conducting field experiments. Students often work cooperatively with other ISU departments as well as affiliated instutions such as the National Soil Tilth Laboratory.
Thesis and Dissertation Research
Independent research is an essential component of graduate education. Reseach problems that students undertake depend on their personal interests and on the objectives of the research project with which they are working. Research is designed to provide new information that will merit publication in refereed journals. All students, regardless of their source of financial support, are expected to participate in research projects directed by their major professor.
Financial Support
Most graduate students in Agricultural Meteorology are supported by research or teaching assistantships. The Charles and Verna Brown Scholarship provides an annual award of approximately $1,000 to an outstanding graduate student in Agricultural Meteorology.

Overview
The goal of the physics, astronomy and meteorology department is to provide students the opportunity to understand the physical laws governing the universe. The fundamental relationships between energy and matter are studied, from the age of the ancient scientists through the era of Einstein and up to the present day. Applications are made to the fields of astronomy, electronics, engineering, meteorology and to the many branches of physics, from classical mechanics to quantum nuclear physics. In addition to experiencing practical applications of the laws of nature, students develop an understanding of the role of science and technology in contemporary society.
Mission
Consistent with the University's mission to serve as an accessible, responsive, and creative intellectual resource for the people and institutions of Connecticut, the Department of Physics, Astronomy, and Meteorology endeavors to provide students with a complete and current education in the principles and applications of physics, astronomy and meteorology, in ways that accommodate the students' backgrounds and career objectives.

http://www-bprc.mps.ohio-state.edu/aboutBPRC.html
About Byrd Polar Research Center Named in honor of one of America's most famous explorers, the Byrd Polar Research Center of The Ohio State University is recognized internationally as a leader in polar and alpine research. The Center's research programs are conducted throughout the world. Research at the Center focuses on the role of cold regions in the global climate system, with major research themes focused on:
  • climatic reconstruction of glacial and post-glacial times; polar ice-sheets: dynamics, history and ice-atmosphere interactions; high-latitude landform evolution, soils and hydrology; geologic evolution of Antarctica; and the history of polar exploration.
Scientists at the Center are reconstructing past climate by studying chemical records preserved in ice cores collected from glaciers in Greenland, China, Peru and Antarctica. Fossils provide important evidence for much older changes in climate and plant fossils collected in the Transantarctic Mountains indicate that parts of the southern continent were once forested. Environmental studies include programs in Alaska and Russia which are concerned with hydrologic and geochemical cycles in permafrost terrains and interactions with the biosphere. Modern processes such as the motion of the great ice sheets and the circulation of storm systems around Antarctica are being studied with sophisticated computer models and with satellite-borne sensors capable of imaging the surface through cloud cover and during the long polar night.
