                         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
