The Role of Ocean Circulation in Climate Dynamics
Convenors
Frank Lamy, Jörg Lippold, A. D. Singh, Devesh K Sinha
Description
Ocean circulation changes including atmosphere-ocean interactions and teleconnections between high and low latitudes play an important role for understanding processes and feedbacks of past and future climate change. Important surface and deep ocean circulation changes occurred at tectonic timescales, related to the opening and closure of major ocean gateways, and at orbital timescales where the ocean substantially contributes to the forcing of glacial-interglacial climate cycles.
Furthermore, millennial to decadal-scale circulation in the global thermohaline circulation and more regional oceanographic features are supposed to be responsible for rapid climate changes particularly relevant for human societies. We invite proxy-data and model-based contributions on all aspects of large and regional-scale ocean circulation and related atmospheric dynamics.
