2nd Workshop on Organisation and Maintenance of Tropical Convection and the Madden Julian Oscillation

Administration

Description

The call for applications will be open soon

Endorsed by the World Weather Research Programme (WWRP) of the WMO

The first workshop on Organisation and Maintenance of Tropical Convection and the Madden Julian Oscillation was held at ICTP in March 2006. It is the right time, 20 years after, to reflect the past accomplishments and lessons learned, identify remaining challenges, and outline future work.

The workshop will address the following questions:

What are the current gaps in our understanding of tropical multi-scale organised convection, the MJO and its global impact?
What are the major barriers to advancing predictions of tropical multi-scale organised convection, the MJO and its global impact?
What would be the most effective and efficient ways to integrate often siloed efforts of observations and modeling in the study of tropical multi-scale organised convection, the MJO and its global impact?
What would be the optimal ways to use the modern technologies of observations, AI/ML, and HPC to advance information gathering, understanding, and model improvement of tropical multi-scale organised convection, the MJO and its global impact?

The workshop will cover the following topics:

Observation of the Madden Julian Oscillation and field campaigns
Modeling the Madden-Julian Oscillation (simple theoretical models, comprehensive Earth system models, and AI/ML models)
MJO prediction and predictability from days to years, including interaction with other modes of variability
MJO’s global and regional impacts

Speakers:
Boualen Khouider, University of Victoria

Franco Molteni, Italia Meteo

Mitchell Moncrieff, NCAR (retired)

Andrew Robertson, Columbia University

Kunio Yoneyama, JAMSTEC

Grants: A limited number of grants are available to support the attendance of selected participants, with priority given to participants from developing countries. There is no registration fee.
