American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting (3-7 Dec 2012 in San Francisco): OS025 Ocean Circulation Variability and Air-Sea Interactions in the Tropical Western Pacific and Eastern Indian Ocean

Mon, 12/03/2012 - 04:49 - Fri, 12/07/2012 - 04:49

Surrounding the inter-basin warm pool, air-sea interaction and time-varying ocean circulations in the tropical western Pacific and eastern Indian Ocean are critically important for regional and global climate variability.

This session seeks contributions with topics including oceanic circulation variability in the tropical western Pacific and eastern Indian Ocean, interactions with the extra-tropics, low-latitude western boundary currents, the Indonesian Throughflow, and upper ocean processes and air-sea interactions associated with the warm pool.
The session will cover signals of all timescales from intra-seasonal to decadal."

Please consider submitting an abstract, and feel free to distribute this announcement to other interested colleagues!
Abstract Submission Deadline for all Sessions: Wednesday, 8 August, 2012

The AGU Fall Meeting is the largest worldwide conference in the geophysical sciences, attracting nearly 20,000 Earth and space scientists, educators, students, and policy makers.
