A distinguished group of meteorologists, oceanographers and climatologists will assemble in MIT’s Edwin Gilliland Auditorium on June 7-8th, 2016 for the third annual progress meeting of the NSF-supported Ozone and Climate Project. This project aims to understand the role of the Antarctic ozone hole and its importance in the global picture of climate change. The project team explores this through observations, theory and modeling of the ozone hole and its behavior.
This year, some thirty project team members and guests will present and discuss our latest findings organized around these three main themes:
Theme A: How well do we understand ozone forcing of the climate and its drivers?
Theme B: How are ocean circulation, ice cover, heat and carbon uptake, and biogeochemistry impacted by the ozone hole?
Theme C: Can we attribute the impacts of the ozone hole on global climate and identify observable indicators?
For the full agenda and a list of speakers, see here.
