Session 1 Recent Advances in Theory, Modeling, and Observations of Tropical Dynamics and Intraseasonal Variability I

Monday, 13 January 2025: 8:30 AM-10:00 AM
203 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)
Host: 13th Symposium on the Madden-Julian Oscillation and Sub-Seasonal Monsoon Variability
Submitters:
Andrea M Jenney; Víctor C. Mayta, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, Madison, WI and Zeljka Stone

We invite theoretical, observational, and modeling studies covering a broad range of topics related to the Madden-Julian Oscillation, tropical waves, dynamics, and intraseasonal variability, including but not limited to: 

  • interactions between the Madden-Julian Oscillation and other convectively coupled equatorial waves
  • air-sea interactions
  • subsurface ocean dynamics
  • Interactions between the stratosphere and tropical convection, including the MJO-QBO relationship
  • climate change
