The 3rd Summer School on Theory, Mechanisms and Hierarchical Modeling of Climate Dynamics: Tropical Oceans, ENSO and their Teleconnections will be organised from 3 to 14 August 2020 at ICTP, Italy. The topics of the summer school include: 1) Tropical ocean (ENSO) dynamics, including phenomenology; 2) ENSO theory, modeling, prediction; 3) Decadal Variability and long term trends; 4) ENSO teleconnections; 5) Decadal variations of interannual teleconnections; 6) Inter-basin connections and 7) Tropical-extratropical teleconnections. The summer school is co-sponsored by NOAA Climate Variability and Predictability, NOAA Modeling, Analysis, Prediction and Projection (MAPP), NSF Physical Oceanography, US CLIVAR and International CLIVAR.

Application is now open online until 01 May 2020. A limited number of grants are available to support the attendance of selected participants, with priority given to participants from developing countries. There is no registration fee.
