PO54F:
Satellite-Data-Based Studies of Heat and Freshwater Budgets and the Air-Sea Interface: From Diurnal to Decadal Timescales II Posters


Session ID#: 11444

Session Description:
The continuous record of satellite data over the last 30 years has allowed fundamental advances in our understanding of processes that control the heat and freshwater budgets of the ocean and their variability over a broad range of timescales.  Satellite altimetry measurements of sea level, microwave based measurements of sea surface temperature, scatterometer winds, gravity measurements that give us the mass distribution, and new measurements of sea surface salinity have all contributed to this understanding.  This session will bring together scientists who work to synthesize satellite data along with in situ observations and models to improve our understanding of the controls of the ocean heat and fresh water budgets and the ocean interaction with the atmosphere on diurnal to decadal time-scales.  We especially encourage submissions that focus on the way in which oceanic processes control the exchange with and impacts on the atmosphere.
