Members from the CLIVAR Ocean Model Development Panel (OMDP) and collaborators summarized the new developments in ocean modeling since a similar OMDP review from 2010.
The UNESCO/IOC Regional Training and Research Center on Ocean Dynamics and Climate (ODC) will have its ninth training course on Climate Dynamics and Air-sea Interactions in Qingdao, China, 17-28 June 2019.
The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) affects the rest of the world’s tropics by perturbing global atmosphere circulation, inducing anomalous Sea surface temperatures over the tropical Indian Ocean and Atlantic Ocean. The associated wind variations in the Indian Ocean and in the equatorial and north tropical Atlantic in turn contribute to ENSO dynamics. In addition, the tropical interbasin linkages vary on decadal time scales.
World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) recently announced that the WCRP Joint Scientific Committee (JSC) had elected Professor Detlef Stammer as its Chair and Dr Helen Cleugh as its Vice-chair for two years.
Driven by increases in computing power, the treatment of small-scale physical processes in atmospheric models is at an exciting juncture. Some recent approaches (e.g., higher-order closure) are being implemented operationally, and others (e.g., machine learning) are being explored in earnest. To discuss these alternatives and future possibilities, the National Science Foundation and the National Center for Atmospheric Research are sponsoring a tutorial and workshop on advanced physical parameterizations for atmospheric models.
