Report of the 3rd Workshop on Southern Hemisphere Ocean and Climate Variability
Date & Time: 6 September 2021, 10:00–15:40
Venue: Zoom
Participants: About 30
The Application Laboratory, JAMSTEC, hosted an annual workshop online with the Marine Science and Numerical Modeling group of the First Institute of Oceanography, Qingdao, China, on 6 September 2021. There were ten talks, whose topics included the Indonesian Throughflow, Indian Ocean circulation, application of machine learning on socioeconomic impacts of ocean circulation, Atlantic circulation and biology, vertical mixing in the Southern Ocean, global mixed-layer-depth distribution, and the long-term trend in the thermocline salinity in the eastern North Pacific. During the workshop, we identified several areas of potential collaboration.
This was the third year. In the first year the workshop was held in Qingdao but the next and this year it was held online because of the pandemic. We hope the fourth workshop will be held in person in Yokohama.
