Presentations are solicited on studies of the intraseasonal variability related to the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO), the boreal summer intraseasonal oscillation (BSISO), the Asian-Australian monsoons, and their impacts on weather and climate throughout the world. Papers related to recent or upcoming field experiments, including DYNAMO, YMC, PISTON, and CAMP2Ex, are also encouraged.
Papers for this conference are solicited on:
This conference will also host the Bernhard Haurwitz Lecture by George Kiladis to honor his contributions to observational studies of tropical-extratropical wave dynamics.
The organizers of the 6th Symposium on the Madden-Julian Oscillation and Sub-Seasonal Monsoon Variability are pleased to offer two travel grants ($450 each) to support students’ attendance at the AMS annual meeting. Students who would like to be considered for need-based partial travel support should indicate so when submitting their abstract and may be asked to submit justification for the funds. Cash awards for outstanding student oral and poster presentations ($200 for first place and $100 for second place for a total of 4 awards) in the symposium will also be given. Students who wish to be considered for prizes must be the first author and presenting their own original work. They should indicate that they wish to enter the competition when they submit their abstract. Awards will be based on originality and relevance of research, quality and organization of the presentation, and effectiveness of presentation delivery.
The Sixth Symposium on the Madden-Julian Oscillation and Sub-Seasonal Monsoon Variability is organized by the AMS Committee on Tropical Meteorology and Tropical Cyclones.
