[Eoas-seminar] EOAS Colloquium - Friday Oct 18th - Caroline Ummenhofer

[eoas-seminar at lists.fsu.edu]

Dear all,
Please join us this Friday for the EOAS Colloquium, where our invited guest speaker is Caroline Ummenhofer, from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Caroline will give a talk on "Impacts of multi-decadal Pacific variability on the Indian Ocean", please see below for the abstract.
Location and Time: Friday October 18th, EOAS 1050, 3:00PM.
Caroline will be visiting EOAS on Thursday and Friday - please let me know if you would like to meet with her.
Cheers,
Rhys
Abstract
The Indo-Pacific exhibits strong multi-decadal variability, with far-reaching implications for hydroclimate in surrounding regions, especially in Indian Ocean rim countries with societies particularly vulnerable to anthropogenic climate change. It is therefore of interest to better understand how multi-decadal variability across the Indo-Pacific affects Indian Ocean characteristics, including its leading mode of variability, the Indian Ocean Dipole. Mechanisms will be discussed how multi-decadal Pacific variability is transmitted to the Indian Ocean through oceanic and atmospheric pathways, including via the Indonesian Throughflow and the Walker circulation, using a suite of ocean and climate model simulations. In addition, significant changes in heat and freshwater transport have been recorded in recent decades in the Indian Ocean and the Maritime Continent region. Implications of these observed low-frequency changes for interannual to decadal variability in the Indian Ocean and extreme events across the region will be discussed.
