OS34A:
Indo-Pacific Ocean Circulation and the Environmental and Climatic Impacts I


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 57521

Session Description:
The Indo-Pacific warm pool is influenced strongly by the ocean circulation in the western Pacific and eastern Indian Oceans.  The two basins exchange mass and energy through the Indonesian Throughflow. The warm pool plays a vital role in the ocean-atmosphere coupled evolution of the tropical oceans. The area has been the focus of recent ocean observations and climate studies aiming to better understand the dynamics and predictability of the variability in the Indo-Pacific ocean circulation and climate.  This session seeks contributions on topics including oceanic circulation variability in the western Pacific and eastern Indian Oceans, dynamics of the latest ENSO and IOD events, tropical-extratropical interactions, inter-basin interactions, the Indonesian Throughflow, air-sea interactions, ocean mixing, impacts on monsoon/typhoon predictability, and multi-disciplinary studies at times scales ranging from diurnal, intra-seasonal, interannual, and decadal to the centennial impacts of global warming.
