Breakout Groups |
||
| 09:00 |
Breakout Group 1: AMOC observations, state and variability. They will explore ways to optimize paleo-observational networks to ensure reliable AMOC reconstructions over relevant timescales.
Breakout Group 2: AMOC Mechanisms and Predictability will focus on how paleoceanographic and paleoclimatic data can be used to test proposed AMOC mechanisms and predictability.
Breakout Group 3: Climate Sensitivity to AMOC: Climate/Ecosystem Impacts will focus on merging the evidence for AMOC impacts on the Earth system from modern and paleo data.
