Workshop on Shallow Tropical-Subtropical overturning Cells (STC)and their Interaction with the Atmosphere

0084603 RizzoliFunding正在提供支持浅热带-亚热带翻转单元（STC）及其与大气相互作用的研讨会。研讨会的目的是评估目前对热带浅层热带-亚热带翻转环流的结构和动力学的理解，并为未来的观测和模拟研究制定战略。通过它们对海表温度的影响，STC被认为是海气耦合模态的海洋成分，海气耦合模态在十年时间尺度上影响大气气候。 物理海洋学家和气象学家将参加讲习班。从NSF申请的资金将用于支持研究生，年轻科学家和一些有需要的受邀演讲者和项目委员会成员的旅行费用。本次研讨会将是对气候变化和可预测性（CLIVAR）计划的贡献。

0084603 RizzoliFunding is providing to support a workshop on shallow tropical-subtropical overturning cells (STC) and their interaction with the atmosphere. The goal of the workshop is to assess the present understanding of the structure and dynamics of the shallow tropical-subtropical overturning cells in the tropics and develop strategies for future observational and modeling studies. Through their effects on sea surface temperature the STC's have been proposed as the oceanic component of coupled modes of air-sea variability that influence the atmospheric climate on decadal time scales. Physical oceanographers and meteorologists will participate in the workshop. The funds requested from NSF will support travel expenses for graduate students, young scientists and some needy invited speakers and program committee members. This workshop will be a contribution to the CLImate VARiability and predictability (CLIVAR) program.
