'Earth observation for ocean-atmosphere interactions science', Frascati, Italy
29 November 2011 - 29 November 2011
Italy
An event entitled 'Earth observation for ocean-atmosphere interactions science' will take place from 29 November to 2 December 2011 in Frascati, Italy.
Physical and biogeochemical interaction between ocean surface and atmosphere boundary layer involve several key processes governing the Earth system dynamics and its climate. The observation, quantification and monitoring of the different ocean and atmospheric variables involved in these processes is of major importance to understanding and predicting their behaviour and their influence on climate.
Recent advances in Earth observation (EO) technology have made possible improved global observations of several key parameters governing the ocean-atmosphere interactions. In the coming years, an increasing number of EO missions will provide an unprecedented capacity to observe the sea-surface and the atmosphere, opening a new era in EO for ocean-atmosphere interactions science.
This conference will bring together the EO and Surface Ocean Lower Atmosphere Study (SOLAS) initiative communities, as well as scientific institutions and space agencies involved in the observation, characterisation and forecasting of ocean-atmosphere interactions and their impacts.For further information, please visit: http://www.eo4oceanatmosphere.info/(opens in new window)
