The AMS Conference on Atmospheric and Oceanic Fluid Dynamics brings together researchers from the U.S. and around the world to exchange ideas, present research, and connect as a scientific community. Our focus is on understanding the physical processes that govern the ocean and atmosphere, from wave-mean flow interactions and mesoscale ocean dynamics to polar processes and tropical circulation. This year’s meeting features sessions on theory, modeling, machine learning applications, and planetary atmospheres, as well as joint sessions with the Middle Atmosphere conference. We are committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for all participants, and we especially encourage early career researchers to engage and take part in the discussions.
Call for Papers
The program committee for this conference considered contributions on all aspects of Atmospheric and Oceanic Fluid Dynamics, including but not limited to:
Mesoscale and Submesoscale Ocean Dynamics
Waves, Mean Flow, and The General Circulation
Coupling Between Moisture, Clouds and Circulation
Dynamics in the Polar Regions
Idealized Model Approaches to the Atmosphere and Ocean Circulation
Machine Learning Applied to Geophysical Flows
Modeling and Theory of the Middle Atmosphere (joint with Middle Atmosphere)
Fluid dynamics manifests itself in a distinct way in the stratosphere and mesosphere due to their unique basic states, resulting in several intriguing features that only exists in the middle atmosphere, such as the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO), Stratospheric Sudden Warming (SSW), Semi-Annual Oscillation(SAO) and the Brewer-Dobson circulation. We welcome recent advances in the theoretical understanding of the middle atmosphere dynamics. Efforts of simulating middle atmospheric features in idealized models as well as in comprehensive models are especially encouraged.
Planetary Atmospheres and Oceans
Storm Tracks and Jets
Turbulence in Coupled Atmospheric-Oceanic Boundary Layers
Theory of Climate
Tropical Atmospheric and Oceanic Dynamics
Waves and Circulation: Connection Across Scales (joint with Middle Atmosphere)
Interaction between waves and circulations is a fundamental aspect of the atmospheric and oceanic fluid dynamics. Examples of such interactions are ubiquitous in the atmosphere and ocean, from the tropics to the pole, and occurring on both weather and climate scales. This session welcomes recent advances on this topic from theoretic, observational and modeling aspects.
