Rossbypalooza is a student-led summer school at the University of Chicago. It is named after the Swedish meteorologist Carl Gustav Rossby and Lollapalooza , the annual music festival of Chicago. Carl Gustav Rossby was the head of the department of meteorology in the University of Chicago when he did his pioneering work on the Rossby waves of Earth’s atmosphere. In the spirit of celebrating climate science with fun, Rossbypalooza brings together people from different fields to understand the climate of Earth
This year’s topic is “ Clouds and convection in diverse climates ”. Clouds and convection are key components and one of the major sources of uncertainty in the climate system. Given the strong coupling of clouds to dynamics, radiation, and microphysics, there is a great need for theoretical, observational, and modeling advancements. We will approach the problem of clouds and convection in the atmosphere, ocean, and on other planets from a diverse range of perspectives, including simple theory, observational
The summer school will consist of lecture series by faculty in the first week, introducing their experience of tackling problems related to cloud and convective processes on Earth and other (exo)planets. However, the focus of the program is a hackathon, where participants will work in groups throughout the two weeks to solve problems in consultation with the faculty members. At the end of program, participants will present their results and get feedbacks from the faculty.
