Time: 11.00 – 12.30
Session chair: Dr. Torben Königk (The Rossby Centre at SMHI)
The ocean plays a crucial role in the world’s climate system. It is a vast reservoir of water, energy and carbon, distributes heat and moisture around the globe and strongly influence atmospheric processes, their variability and extremes. The ocean is also the home for more than a million different species of sea animals and plants, many of which play key roles in modulating our atmosphere. The oceans are therefore not only extremely important for climate but also for human life on our planet. This session welcomes discussions based on observations, proxies or models, focusing on the physics, chemistry and biology of the ocean, in the past, present and future, from micro to global scales, from polar to tropical regions at surficial to hadal depths.
