Atmosphere-ocean coupling at (sub)mesoscales

Our workshop will bring together participants in the field of atmospheric and oceanographic sciences, air-sea interaction, Earth observation, and regional and climate modeling. The goal is to identify emerging grand challenges in (sub)mesoscales air-sea coupling and outline strategies on how imperfect models and intermittent observations can be systematically combined to advance on these challenges.

During the workshop, participants will be given ample opportunity to get to know each other and the different communities and to engage in crash courses in the different disciplines. Participants will contribute to the writing and design of a white paper, including an illustrative knowledge map of critical interactions, which will serve as a rationale for founding an international working body.
