Buoyancy is one of the main forces driving flows on our planet, especially in the ocean and atmosphere. Buoyancy driven flows encompass a wide spectrum of geophysical flows that range from buoyant coastal currents to dense overflows in the ocean, and from avalanches to volcanic pyroclastic flows on the Earth's surface. In the ocean, buoyant coastal currents transport fresh water, heat, nutrients, sediments, biogeochemicals, pollutants, and biological organisms along many continental shelves and, hence, have important impacts on ecosystems, fisheries, and the coastal circulation.The XVIII Alpine Summer School entitled 'Buoyancy-Driven Flows' will be held in Aosta, Italy, from June 20 to July 1, 2010. The Co-directors of the school will be: Claudia Cenedese (WHOI); Eric Chassignet (FSU); and Jacques Verron (INPG). The summer school will last 10 days with approximately 10 invited speakers, each presenting 2 or 3 pedagogical lectures. In addition to formal lectures, shorter 'research seminars' will be given by a few additional senior participants. Attendees will also have the opportunity to present their work via poster sessions and to participate in a debate on the importance of buoyancy-driven flows in climate. While it is planned to have a series of lectures with a strong emphasis on the ocean, it is also intended to discuss a wider range of geophysical problems (avalanches, volcanic flows, atmospheric flows, etc.). The intention is to collect the lecture notes and publish them in a book. Intellectual Merit: The lectures will first give a broad overview of the current state-of-the-art research in buoyancy-driven flows and will be put in the context of a wider range of geophysical problems (avalanches, volcanic flows, atmospheric flows, etc.). Then, more specific lectures will focus on the importance of correctly representing processes than are not currently resolved in the ocean component of climate models. Given the impact of buoyancy flows on the ocean circulation and the Earth's climate, it is considered timely to bring together leading scientists to summarize the present theoretical, experimental, and modeling understanding of buoyancy-driven flows.Broader Impact: One specific objective of the school is to expose young graduate students and recent Ph.D. recipients to the importance of buoyancy-driven flows in the ocean circulation and in the present day climate, from a combined theoretical, experimental, and modeling point of view. Furthermore, the lecture notes will be published as a text book.

浮力是驱动地球流动的主要力量之一，特别是在海洋和大气中。浮力驱动流涵盖广泛的地球物理流，从浮力沿海流到海洋中的密集溢流，从雪崩到地球表面的火山碎屑流。在海洋中，活跃的沿岸流沿着许多大陆架输送淡水、热量、营养物质、沉积物、生物地球化学物质、污染物和生物有机体，因此对生态系统、渔业和沿海环流产生重要影响。第十八届高山暑期学校题为“浮力驱动流”将于 2010 年 6 月 20 日至 7 月 1 日在意大利奥斯塔举行。学校的联合主任是： Claudia塞内德语 (WHOI)；埃里克·查西内特（FSU）；和雅克·维隆（INPG）。暑期学校将持续 10 天，约有 10 名受邀演讲者，每人进行 2 至 3 场教学讲座。除了正式讲座之外，一些额外的高级参与者还将举办较短的“研究研讨会”。与会者还将有机会通过海报会议展示他们的作品，并参与关于浮力驱动流动在气候中的重要性的辩论。虽然计划举办一系列重点关注海洋的讲座，但也打算讨论更广泛的地球物理问题（雪崩、火山流、大气流等）。目的是收集讲义并将其出版成书。智力优势：讲座将首先对当前浮力驱动流的最先进研究进行广泛概述，并将置于更广泛的地球物理问题（雪崩、火山流、大气流、 ETC。）。然后，更具体的讲座将重点关注正确表示过程的重要性，而气候模型的海洋部分目前尚未解决。考虑到浮力流对海洋环流和地球气候的影响，我们认为现在是时候召集领先的科学家来总结目前对浮力驱动流的理论、实验和建模理解。更广泛的影响：学校的一个具体目标是为了揭露年轻的研究生和最近的博士学位。从理论、实验和建模相结合的角度，让人们认识到浮力驱动的流动在海洋环流和当今气候中的重要性。此外，讲义将作为教科书出版。
