Topics

In line with the conference's overarching aims, talks will be thematically grouped into three broad areas. Potential contributors are invited to submit abstracts to one of the three topics below.

Ocean Turbulence in the Earth System

The advancement in computational capabilities and modern observational techniques has enabled the study of turbulence with unprecedented resolution, over extended time scales, and in the large-scale coupled context. These improvements facilitate the formulation of new research questions and the re-examination of existing ones through innovative methods. This session is dedicated to computational and observational studies that seek to elucidate the role of ocean turbulence within the Earth system using novel observational, theoretical, or computational approaches.

Air-Sea-Ice Interaction across Scales

Interfaces across which the sea interacts with the air and with the ice host enormously complex dynamics spanning an impressive spectrum of scales. Modeling, simulating, and understanding the dynamics of the respective boundary layers is pivotal for an understanding of the climate of the Earth. This session focuses on theoretical, observational, and computational approaches that advance our understanding of air-sea-ice interactions.

Computational Ocean Physics with and without AI

The virtual laboratory of numerical ocean simulations provides the litmus test for physical theories about the ocean circulation, and vice-versa — data generated by such simulations are often the origin of new physical insights. This places computational methods into a central place of atmosphere-ocean science. This session is devoted to classical and new computational methods that deepen our knowledge about the ocean.
