APPLY NOW: International Winter School on Arctic Atmosphere-Ocean-Sea Ice Interactions and Their Linkages with Mid-Latitudes
Winter School Details
The winter school will provide an overview of state-of-the-art theoretical paradigms, observational techniques, modelling frameworks, and forecasting capabilities for atmosphere-ocean-sea ice interactions. Focus will, among other topics, be on the role of cold air outbreaks, the regional and global ocean circulation as well as its forced response, teleconnections between different latitudes with atmospheric and oceanic pathways, and the modulation of sea ice by atmospheric and oceanic forcing. The winter school will provide a unique opportunity to bring together young scientists studying different aspects of the coupled climate system. Through plenary lectures, poster presentations, and extended discussions, participants will be exposed to fundamental concepts and cutting-edge research in the field and build a community network for their future careers.
Main Objectives
knowledge of state-of-the art theory and diagnostics for atmosphere-ocean-sea ice interaction processes and their effects on climate variability
overview of modelling approaches and assessment of forecasting capabilities
introduction to observational techniques and analysis/interpretation of field data
insights into planning and conducting field campaigns
foundation for developing an international research network
Learning Objectives
Participants will gain advanced knowledge on dynamical and observational aspects of atmosphere-ocean-sea ice interaction processes, including transport pathways and surface fluxes of heat, moisture, and momentum. Participants will develop a synergistic view of the coupled climate system encompassing both local to mesoscale and synoptic to large-scale perspectives.
