[AO announcement] IUGG session P06 The Southern Ocean: where ocean, ice and atmosphere meet

[Karen Heywood (ENV)]

Dear friends and colleagues

I would like to draw your attention to our session P06 The Southern Ocean: where Ocean, Ice and Atmosphere Meet at the IUGG meeting in June-July 2015 in Prague.  See http://www.iugg2015prague.com  for more details of the meeting.  Please forward this announcement to colleagues and students.

Registration and abstract submission is now open.  Abstracts must be submitted by 31st January.

There are 13 sessions being organised by IAPSO, 17 by IACS and 22 by IAMAS so there is sure to be something for everyone.

We especially draw your attention to our session, and are delighted to announce that Sarah Gille (Scripps, USA) and Andy Hogg (ANU, Australia) have agreed to give solicited talks in our session.

P06 The Southern Ocean: where Ocean, Ice and Atmosphere Meet

Convener: Karen Heywood<mailto:K.Heywood at uea.ac.uk> (Norwich, UK)

Co-conveners: Anna Wåhlin (Gothenburg, Sweden), Andrew Thompson (Pasadena, USA), Roman Tarakanov (Moscow, Russia)

Description

This symposium is open to all with an interest in Southern Ocean sciences and processes, regardless of approach (e.g. theory, modelling, in situ observations, remote sensing). The Southern Ocean influences global climate and plays an important role in the meridional overturning circulation. The interaction of the ocean with the Antarctic ice shelves, leading to ice sheet mass loss affecting global sea level, is a topic of growing emphasis. The role of sea ice and polynyas in mediating interactions between atmosphere and ocean is a key challenge for climate models and for assessing carbon fluxes. This session welcomes results of recent studies such as:
 - Southern Ocean mixing and its influence on global overturning
 - Antarctic Circumpolar Current and Antarctic gyre dynamics and variability
 - cross-slope exchange of heat, freshwater, nutrients and other tracers
 - melting and circulation processes beneath ice shelves
 - the role of sea ice in water mass formation, air-sea gas exchange and carbon cycling
 - atmosphere-ocean interactions, air-sea fluxes and mixed layer physics
 - climate model predictions for the Southern Ocean of the future
 - techniques and challenges for future Southern Ocean observing systems.

This symposium is co-sponsored by IACS.

We look forward to seeing you in Prague!
