International Symposium on Boundary Current dynamics: its connection with open-ocean
and coastal processes and responses to global climate change.
Date : 05/31-06/02, 2010
Venue: Qingdao, China
|
Global climate changes have been, and will continue altering large scale ocean circulation
and coastal processes, and exerting profound impacts on marine environments. The
changing basin scale circulation can further shape both regional and global climate,
and affect coastal processes through physical and biogeochemical exchanges. The
major objective of this symposium is to bring internationally renowned climatologists
and oceanographers together to synthesize our current understanding, and discuss
future research forefronts in boundary currents and coastal processes within context
of global climate changes. The questions to be addressed in this symposium will
include, but not limit to:
(1) What are key processes that determine variability of boundary currents in the
tropical-subtropical basins ? how do climate changes affect these processes? How
does boundary current variability affect climate?
(2) What are the main dynamic processes that govern interactions between boundary
currents and coastal seas? How does climate variability affect such interactions
and change physical and biological states in coastal seas?
(3) What are observational and modeling needs to address the dynamics and assess
the future changes of deep ocean-marginal sea system?
