[A-CG30] Extratropical oceans and atmosphere
Historically, the extratropical ocean had been considered passive to atmospheric variability. Recent studies, however, revealed that the extratropical ocean also influences atmospheric circulations, and the interactive ocean-atmosphere coupling has attracted considerable interest for its active roles in the climate system. The goal of this session is to further deepen our understanding of the air-sea interaction in the extratropics by focusing on a wide variety of phenomena from meso-scale to basin-scale, and from daily to global warming timescales. Studies related to the extratropical air-sea interaction involving cloud, aerosol, ecosystem and the connection with tropical/polar regions are also welcomed.
