The seventh Nansen-Zhu summer school was held October 10-14th, 2016 at China University of Geosciences in Wuhan, China. From the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Nansen Environment and Remote Sensing Center, University of Bergen, Joint Research Center, Peking University, Nanjing University, China University of Geosciences (Wuhan), Sun Yat-sen University, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Chengdu University of Information and Technology, National Climate Center and other units of more than 120 scientists and graduate students participated in the workshop.

Eighteen scientists from China and Norway had discussions through 5 days, and the contents were abundant. The purposes included the effects of climate change on haze, the interdecadal variation of East Asian monsoon, the relation between the atmospheric circulation of northern and southern hemispheres, the ancient monsoon climate, the climate effects of the Arctic oscillation and Arctic sea ice, the interdecadal climate variability, Climate predictability and climate prediction and other related aspects.

Nine postgraduates from the School of Atmospheric Sciences, CUIT, were invited to attend the workshop. Among them, four graduate students, Wang Jia Nan, Cheng Xun Xuan, Huang Lu and Ding Xu gave their presentation respectively on the related topic.

The summer school of Nansen-Zhu International Research Centre (NZC) is a biennial event taking place alternatively in China and Europe. The summer school 2016 of NZC on “Climate Teleconnections and Predictions” is organized by the NZC and is supported by the Chinese and Norwegian partners of NZC. This summer school aims to provide young researchers (Ms and PhD students/postdocs) with an exciting survey of recent developments in the area of climate teleconnections between the high and the lower latitudes and climate predictions.
