(NEWS 1) IPCC outlines strategies for responding to the accelerating  
impacts of human-caused climate change
    http://www.wmo.ch/news/news.html
    The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), co- 
sponsored by WMO, has released the second part of its Fourth  
Assessment Report that evaluates the current and future impacts of  
global warming and explores opportunities for proactively adapting to  
them.
    Climate Change 2007: Climate Change Impacts, Adaptation and  
Vulnerability concludes that the world’s rivers, lakes, wildlife,  
glaciers, permafrost, coastal zones, disease carriers and many other  
elements of the natural and physical environment are already  
responding to the effects of humanity’s greenhouse-gas emissions.
    Scientists are increasingly confident that, as global warming  
continues, certain weather events and extremes will become more  
frequent, widespread or intense. Some events, in particular sea-level  
rise, have the potential for significant impacts on natural  
ecosystems, water resources and agricultural production in certain  
regions, especially after the 21st century.

     http://www.scidev.net/content/news/eng/scientists-warming-could- 
increase-schistosomiasis.cfm  Or: http://tinyurl.com/yssp9p
    Global warming could increase the risk of schistosomiasis  
infection in China and expand infection into the country's northern  
territories, say researchers.
    A study published in the March issue of Advances in Climate  
Change Research suggests that increasing temperatures could increase  
numbers of the Schistosome worm, which causes the disease and the  
Oncomelania snail in which it lives.
    Scientists found the worm in China's southern regions and  
distributed along China's Yangtze River, but the worm could spread to  
northern regions if the temperature of 15.2 degrees centigrade for  
the worm to grow is reached in those areas.

    BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) — A prominent Indian environmentalist  
accused the United States on Wednesday of using India and other  
emerging economies as an excuse for refusing to commit to a plan to  
reduce carbon dioxide emissions blamed for global warming.
    Maneka Gandhi, a parliamentarian and former Indian environment  
minister, urged the U.S. to stop making cuts to its greenhouse gases  
conditional on similar moves by India or China, saying Washington was  
trying to divert attention from its environmental problems.

(JOBS 4) Post-Doc – National Center for Meteorological Research at  
Meteo-France (Toulouse, France)
    Dear colleagues,
    The purpose of this email is to announce a post-doc offer at the  
National Center for Meteorological Research (Centre National de  
Recherches Meteorologiques) at Meteo-France within the group GAME) in  
Toulouse, France, starting in Autumn, 2007.
https://www2.cnrs.fr/DRH/post-docs07/?pid=1&action=view&id=771&lang=en
    Heading of offer: BOUNDARY-LAYER REGIMES WITHIN THE AFRICAN  
MONSOON - OFFER : P.U./27
    DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
The West-African monsoon involves strong interactions between the  
surface and the atmosphere. Boundary layer processes play there a  
crucial role, through their control on energetic exchanges and  
transports. Their quantification is however very approximate. As a  
result, the mechanisms of interactions that are actually operating  
still remain, for a large part, to be determined. This constitutes an  
important goal of the AMMA program, within which this project takes  
place. The high surface radiative fluxes characterizing this Tropical  
region result in a large magnitude of surface heat fluxes. This  
combines with strong variations of its sensible and latent heat  
components, from the moist Soudanian area to the semi-arid Sahelian  
zone and finally the Saharan desert. This well defined configuration  
of the surface and associated atmospheric circulations along a South- 
North transect leads to strong variations of the functioning of  
boundary layers, which are further modulated by fluctuations over a  
wide range of scales.
The objectives of this projet are: (i) to identify and to  
characterize the observed regimes, via a classification of boundary  
layers - parameters such as boundary layer height, daytime mixed- 
layer temperature, humidity and equivalent potential temperature and  
their diurnal cycle will be analysed, together with their relations  
to wind, wind shear and cloud cover, and their possible connexions  
with environmental conditions at larger scale, e.g. synoptic scales;   
(ii) to analyse and to quantify how the previously identified regimes  
distinctively affect the surface atmosphere interactions - the aim is  
to determine which mechanisms are at play, in particular those  
associated with the water vapour transport along the meridional  
gradient, which involve daytime vertical exchanges between the low  
level monsoon flux and the drier tropospheric flow as well as  
nocturnal advection, that are typically reinforces by the presence of  
a low-level nocturnal jet; (iii) to evaluate how these boundary-layer  
regimes are reproduced by parametrized models and to define  
appropriate diagnostics for qualifying the boundary layer simulated  
by large-scale models – the aim is to identify their major  
weaknesses, their causes and consequences on the effective role of  
simulated boundary layers compared to observed ones. This study will  
be conducted in a group that is strongly involved in the AMMA program  
and imply interactions with AMMA partners. It will capitalize on the  
wide amount of data that were collected during the intensive period  
of observation in summer 2006. We will use in particular the data  
provided by the radiosonde network that was spectacularly reinforced  
during the campaign, complemented by ground- based and aircraft data  
such as UHF and tethered balloon data, and dropsondes. Sounding data  
provide a temporal cover all along the season while aircraft data  
allow some useful spatialization. The modelling part of this study,  
which aims at exploring the range of identified boundary layers, will  
make use of simulations performed with the mesoNH model within the  
group, in parametrized and explicit (large-eddy simulations) mode. At  
large scale, we will firstly focus on simulations from numerical  
weather prediction models (e.g., ECMWF), and secondly on climatic  
simulations performed within the frame of AMMA, starting with those  
provided by the ARPEGE model for the AMMA-CROSS intercomparison  
exercise.
    PROFILE OF THE CANDIDATE: The sucessful candidate will have a PhD  
thesis in the domain of atmospheric science, with experience of  
current programming software. A solid background in atmospheric  
physics -theory/observations/modellings- will be particularly  
appreciated.
