Dear Colleagues,
Please forward this to others who might be interested in this session at the World Weather Open Science Conference in Montreal, Canada, 16-21 August, 2014.
Ocean and cryosphere observations and their assimilation
The Oceans and Cryosphere play critical roles in weather and climate, and this session of the World Weather Open Science Conference focuses on the provision of accurate measurements and their assimilation into numerical models for weather prediction and climate simulation. High latitudes are especially sensitive to changes in climate forcing, in part due to the strength and complexity of feedbacks prevalent in the Polar Regions. Better understanding of the coupling of the atmosphere-ocean-cryosphere involving the exchanges of heat, momentum, moisture and other gases, and the feedbacks that can amplify or dampen the system responses, will result from more accurate in situ and remotely-sensed measurements as well as refined assimilation of measurements into models. Abstracts are sought for presentations that address all aspects of ocean and cryosphere measurements and their assimilation into all classes of ocean, atmosphere, land and climate models.
Please submit abstracts through http://wwosc2014.org/side_call/instructions_abstract-e.shtml
The deadline is February 24, 2014.
Apologies for cross-posting.
Best regards,
Peter Minnett, University of Miami, and David Bromwich, Ohio State University
