Tropical Convection Webinars
Looking for the concurrently running Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) webinar series?
The Climate Variability and Predictability (CVP) program will host a webinar series on Understanding & Improving Prediction of Tropical Convection, beginning October 2016. This series is based on recently funded projects in this area. Selected projects in this competition used data collected during the DYNAMO field campaign in modeling and analysis studies in order to improve understanding and representation of the physical processes deemed to be critical to the initiation of the Madden-Julian Oscillation: the interaction between convection and environmental moisture, and the dynamic evolution of clouds, and and air-sea interactions.
You may register once for the entire Understanding & Improving Prediction of Tropical Convection series.
Sign up to learn of future CVP Webinars.
These
webinars will be recorded and the video will be available on this page after the presentation. We look forward to your participation in this series.
For questions about the webinar series, please contact Hunter Jones ( hunter.jones@noaa.gov).
