Tropical convective variability associated with Convectively Coupled Equatorial Waves (CCEW), provides important sources of tropical subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) predictability. While considerable progress has been made in understanding, modeling, and forecasting CCEW, challenges remain and new aspects of CCEW research continue to emerge: addressing these issues increasingly requires collaborative efforts across observational, modeling, and theoretical communities.

We welcome contributions on observing CCEW and modeling these disturbances across a wide range of numerical frameworks, from theoretical and idealized models to state-of-the-art GCMs, studies on the role of air-sea interactions in CCEW, and novel identification techniques.
