Seventh Symposium on the Madden-Julian Oscillation and Sub-Seasonal Monsoon Variability

The Seventh Symposium on the Madden-Julian Oscillation and Sub-Seasonal Monsoon Variability is sponsored by the American Meteorological Society and organized by the AMS Committee on Tropical Meteorology and Tropical Cyclones.

Topics Covered

Papers for this conference are solicited on the following:

• air–sea interaction
• connections between tropical convection and the stratosphere
• dynamics, organization, or aggregation of tropical convection;
• modulation of high impact global weather events by tropical convection;
• observational analysis of tropical convection and variability, including field campaign results (e.g. YMC, PISTON);
• societal impacts of subseasonal variability, including impacts of extreme weather on agricultural and energy sectors;
• subseasonal and seasonal variability and prediction of tropical cyclones;
• theoretical or modeling studies of monsoonal and intraseasonal variability;
• tropical waves;
• tropical–extratropical interactions; and
• variability and predictability of climate on subseasonal-to-seasonal time scales.

Student Award Opportunities

Student abstract submissions are especially encouraged. Cash awards for the top oral and poster presentations will be given. Students, if they wish to participate, should indicate their eligibility for a student award when they submit their abstracts.
