Plenary Webex Link:  

We will use Webex to host this event. You should have received a URL link to access the workshop (plenary and end of the day breakout sessions).

For those participating in the closed session on February 26, further instructions will be sent in a separate email.

Upon entry to the meeting, note that you will be automatically muted due to the size of the audience. Please keep yourself on mute during the plenary and Q&A sessions unless further instructed. We will take presentation Q&As in the chat box. Any technical issues should be directed in an email to Jennie Zhu (jzhu@usclivar.org).

We highly recommend that you use earbuds or headphones to eliminate feedback.

Slack:

If you've not yet accepted your invitation to join Slack please "Join here" to participate in the "WCRP-CLIVAR Workshop on Climate Interactions among the Tropical Basins" workspace. Slack is an easy and informal messaging tool which allows increased opportunities for engagement, ongoing conversation, and collaboration outside of the TBI meeting dates

We encourage you to reach out and begin discussion within the various channels developed specifically in relation to the workshop. Those participating on February 26 in the invited working groups will have a private channel to discuss relevant information. While you are free to post at any time, the Slack channel will not be actively moderated during the timeframe that the workshop sessions are taking place February 24-26.

Emergency Contact Emails:

If you are experiencing Webex technical issues during the workshop, please send an email to Jennie Zhu (jzhu@usclivar.org). For all other questions, please contact Tammy Kepple (tkepple@ucar.edu).
