Session Proposal: Atmosphere, Ocean, and Land Processes in the Maritime Continent and Indo-Pacific (AGU25)

A026
Atmosphere, Ocean, and Land Processes in the Maritime Continent and Indo-Pacific

Session ID#: 247422

Session Description:
The Maritime Continent and Indo-Pacific region are a nexus of congestus and deep convection generated and maintained on multiple spatial and temporal scales, spreading a significant global impact via the monsoon, Walker/Hadley circulations, and wave-related teleconnections. Meanwhile, the Indonesian throughflow also plays an essential role in interocean exchanges of heat and salt associated with the global conveyor belt and the climate. However, models suffer from persistent, systematic errors and limited skills in these regions due to the highly coupled land-ocean-atmosphere processes, such as cloud-aerosol/radiative interactions, land-sea breezes, land surface feedbacks, coupled boundary layer evolution, air-sea fluxes, and equatorial waves. This session solicits contributions on the physical processes over the Maritime Continent and Indo-Pacific region, which could include observations, numerical modeling, data assimilation, reanalysis products, predictability, and theory. Studies on sub-seasonal-to-seasonal, synoptic, mesoscale, and diurnal variations are encouraged, including but not limited to the MJO/BSISO, monsoons, and extreme weather.
