The global water cycle: coupling and exchanges of mass and energy between the ocean, land, cryosphere, and atmosphere
Session ID#: 251786
Session Description:
This session focuses on water cycle research within the context of Earth as an interconnected system, emphasizing linkages among the ocean, atmosphere, cryosphere, land surface, and subsurface processes. We invite contributions spanning in situ and satellite observations—from past (e.g., Aquarius, TRMM, GRACE), current (e.g., GO-SHIP, Argo, SMAP, SMOS, GRACE-FO, GPM, GCOM-W, SWOT, NISAR), and future (e.g., CIMR, MAGIC) missions—as well as numerical models, data assimilation products, climate projections, and theoretical studies. We especially encourage work integrating multiple Earth system components to reveal coherent water cycle variability and change. Regional and global assessments that identify key observational needs to monitor long-term water cycle changes are also welcome.
