  1. CAS-TWAS-WMO Forum: a brief introduction Jiang ZHU Institute of Atmospheric Physics Chinese Academy of Sciences

  2. Contents • Institute of Atmospheric Physics and links with TWAS • Forum Background • Forum Organization • Support from CAS • Past Activities & Outcomes

  3. Institute of Atmospheric Physics and links with TWAS 1928: Institute of Meteorology Nanjing (1928) -> Hankou (1937)-> Chongqing (1938)-> Nanjing (1946) -> Shanghai (1948) -> Nanjing (1949) 1950: Institute of Geophysics and Meteorology Nanjing (1950)->Beijing (1951) 1966: Institute of Atmospheric Physics Beijing since 1951 Current: 403 full-time scientists/technicians • 162 are senior scientists, • 9 Academicians of Chinese Academy of Sciences

  4. Two members of TWAS: Prof. Q.C.Zeng and Prof. M. Mu • One young affiliate of TWAS: Prof. X.D. Zeng • One Center of Excellence: • More than 10 PhD students from the developing world

  5. CAS-TWAS-WMO Forum Background Established in 2000 by three presidents of the three organizations Lu Yongxiang（Former President of CAS） Mohamed H. A. Hassan（Former Executive Director of TWAS） G.O.P.Obasi (Former Secretary-General of WMO) • In order to facilitate the study and solution of important scientific problems related to climate problems such as • global warming • short-term climate anomalies • the disastrous weather events • adaptations

  6. Bring together high level experienced mathematicians, physicists, and scientists in related fields and to exchange ideas, discuss scientific problems in depth and develop suitable solving methods by joint efforts; • Utilizing the united platform of CAS, TWAS, and WMO, further promoting global academic exchange and cooperation in climate field among developing countries. • Make valuable contributions to the cultivation and training of young research talents in developing countries. A symposium/workshop/training courses for different topics will be held each year.

  7. CAS-TWAS-WMO Forum Organizations • The Organization of CTWF consists of chairmen and executive directors from CAS, TWAS and WMO respectively. • Co-Chairs for the Forum： Lu Yongxiang（Academician, President, CAS） • Mohamed HA Hassan（Prof., Executive President, TWAS） • Michel Jarraud (Prof., Secretary-General, WMO) • Executive Chairmen： • Qingcun Zeng (Academician, CAS and member of TWAS） • Filippo Giorgi (Dr., ICTP) • David Carson (Executive Director of WCRP) • Huijun Wang (Prof., Director of IAP/CAS)

  8. Forum Support from CAS • Funding Support • Since the inception of the CTWF, CAS provides a 300, 000CNY/year fund for the annual organization of CTWF. • TWAS office in CAS • TWAS office in CAS spares no efforts to the propaganda of the CTWF through the platform of TWAS. Besides, the office maintain sound communication with TWAS headquarter, further obtained CTWF more support from TWAS. • Great attention and support from the presidents of CAS • Present of CAS, Prof. Chunli Bai attended the 2010 CTWF in Beijing.

  9. Past Activities & Outcomes

  10. 1st Symposium, Beijing, Sep. 2001 2nd Symposium, Shanghai, Sep. 2002 Mr. G.O.P.Obasi

  11. Training course on short-term climate prediction Beijing, Oct.20-31, 2003 3rd Symposium, Beijing, Oct.12-16, 2004

  12. 7th Workshop, Sep 17-19, 2008, Kunming 4th Workshop, Zhuhai, Nov. 15-18, 2005

  13. 2010 International Workshop, Nov 17-19, Beijing Theme: “Climate and Environmental Change: Challenges for Developing Countries More than150participants attended the 2010 CTWF, including 45 representatives from 18 oversea institutions and government departments.

  14. With the continuous supports from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the CAS-TWAS-WMO Forum has significantly strengthened the relationship between CAS, TWAS, and WMO. • The Forum activities have been one of the China’s important contributions to the TWAS. • The Forum international symposiums/workshops has also provided an excellent opportunity to bring together international renowned research scientists from several different fields: mathematics, physics and climate research, etc. This is the unique feature of the symposium, and has significantly contributed to climate science development. • Until now, more than 120 young research scientists have been supported by CTWF. • In the 2003 international training workshop, 28oversea participants from developing countries received financial support from CTWF; • In the CTWF 2010 international workshop, over 35 young research scientists from developing countries were granted by CTWF.
