First Latin American school in ocean and climate modeling

First ISCB Latin American Student Council Symposium

The first Latin American Catheter Ablation Registry.

AIMS To assess the results of transcatheter ablation of cardiac arrhythmias in Latin America and establish the first Latin American transcatheter ablation registry. METHODS AND RESULTS All ablation procedures performed between 1 January and 31 December 2012 were analysed retrospectively. Data were obtained on the characteristics and resources of participating centres (public or private instit...

Atlantic Ocean forcing of North American and European summer climate.

Recent extreme events such as the devastating 2003 European summer heat wave raise important questions about the possible causes of any underlying trends, or low-frequency variations, in regional climates. Here, we present new evidence that basin-scale changes in the Atlantic Ocean, probably related to the thermohaline circulation, have been an important driver of multidecadal variations in the...

Climate Ocean Modeling on Parallel Computers

Ocean modeling plays an important role in both understanding the current climatic conditions and predicting future climate change. However, modeling the ocean circulation at various spatial and temporal scales is a very challenging computational task. In contrast to the atmosphere, where the dominant weather system has a spatial scale of 1000s km, much of the ocean energy is associated with mes...
