A multi-model simulation study shows that Atlantic Multidecadal Variability warming drives a modification of the Walker Circulation that creates precipitation anomalies over the whole tropical belt.
For three days, members and collaborators of the US AMOC Science Team met in Santa Fe to discuss advances in our understanding of the overturning circulation. Over 60 oral and poster presentations can be found on the website, along with highlights from the discussion. Also, a digital story is available, which captures the progression of the meeting.
This workshop report on "Connecting Paleo & Modern Oceanographic Data to Understand Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation Over Decades to Centuries" highlights discussions from the meeting and identifies promising and potentially synergistic research directions for the paleo and modern oceanographic communities.
The Climate Process Team on Internal-Wave Driven Ocean Mixing has published an article on recent advances in the understanding of internal-wave driven turbulent mixing in the ocean interior, along with new parameterizations for global climate ocean models and their climate impacts.
The 2017 spring edition of Variations is themed: "A case for observing the deep ocean." This edition highlights the existing “state-of-the-art” methods to measure the deep ocean, some of the scientific insights that have already been gained from these observations, and new methodologies and technologies to expand the network of deep observations. Join us for a webinar on May 16, featuring contributors from this edition.
Now being hosted biennially, the US CLIVAR Summit will bring together the members of the Scientific Steering Committee and its three implementation Panels, agency managers, and invited speakers to review progress, identify opportunities, and develop strategies to advance program goals. The meeting will be held August 8-10 in Baltimore, Maryland.
