Year Of Tropical Convection Science Plan has been published (30 Oct 2008)
The YOTC Science Plan has just been published as a WMO technical document. The focus of YOTC is organized tropical convection, with emphasis on time scales up to seasonal, and in particular the intersection of weather and climate. The YOTC project will address critical issues faced by prediction models that involve the representation of tropical convection, convective organization, the large-scale circulation and the accompanying scale interactions.
