Advances in Air-Sea Interaction Observations and Remote Sensing: Autonomous Platforms, Multiscale Processes, and Cross-Disciplinary Linkages
Session ID#: 259701
Session Description:
The ocean and atmosphere interact through fluxes of heat, mass, momentum, and gases, driving variability across scales, yet traditional observations are inherently limited in spatial coverage. Recent advances in autonomous platforms such as the Uncrewed Marine Systems and Aerial Vehicles permit observations of air-sea interactions in challenging environments, from tropical cyclones to marginal ice zones, while next-generation remote sensing (e.g., PACE, SWOT, GOES) coupled with novel methodologies (AI, data fusion, submesoscale-resolving models) provides synoptic views of upper-ocean and lower-atmosphere dynamics, gas exchange, and turbulent mixing. This session seeks studies leveraging these tools to explore physical and biogeochemical processes, including model assimilation, forecasting, and mechanistic understanding of ocean-atmosphere coupling, with particular interest in cross-disciplinary linkages—such as how submesoscale physics mediate nutrient supply or how extreme events alter marine ecosystems. We also encourage contributions on integrating autonomous systems with remote sensing, hyperspectral data exploitation, and AI-driven retrieval algorithms to bridge gaps in quantifying air-sea fluxes (heat, CO₂) and their cascading impacts on weather systems, marine productivity, carbon export, and habitat shifts. By uniting in situ and satellite perspectives, the session aims to foster dialogue on emerging technologies that address multiscale challenges in air-sea interaction research, from microscale turbulence to basin-wide feedbacks.
