abstract = "A multinational and interdisciplinary team has established to
promote research into the causes of climate variability and
changes in the MERCOSUR region of South America. Scientists from
Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and the United States
belonging to research and university institutions are
participating in the regional network. The main objectives of the
Program are focused to support an environment conducive to
collaborative research in climate variability and climate changes.
This is accomplished by sponsoring scientific visits to each of
the participating institutions holding regular meetings where
results are disseminated and discussed, and by encouraging the
free exchange of data. Also, is proposed by the Program, the
promotion of the capacity building in the participating
institutions, mainly in those with scarce development in the
scientific interest area of the Project. The exchange of
scientists and students is strongly promoted, searching for
alternative funds for post degree fellowships. The interchanged
data have already been useful in several diagnostic studies
undertaken by scientists within PROSUR. Within the objectives
above mentioned, the researchers are carrying on studies on the
floods in La Plata Basin, on the physical and dynamical processes
of extreme events in the MERCOSUR area, in assessing the degree of
understanding of these extreme events by stakeholders and
population, coordinating and participating in regional studies of
the Low Level Jet in South America, support modeling studies to
investigate regional climate variability and carry on AGCM
experiments to analyze the influence of the Pacific and Atlantic
SSTs on the precipitation over the La Plata river basin.Some of
the results produced by the scientists participating in the
Program will be offered at the Conference. PROSUR is an affiliated
program of CLIVAR/VAMOS.",
