Workshop on Improving Modelling of the AMOC

The Workshop on Improving the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) will seek to address the problem of climate projections and predictions caused by the variety of representations of the AMOC in climate models. The goals of this workshop will be to provide recommendations to the community about how to improve our modelling of the AMOC, including suggestions of specific activities. Topics to be discussed include how to assess models’ fidelity, the role of resolution, and how to improve representation of important processes.

Applicants should have expertise and/or be currently working on research addressing how the AMOC, or processes relevant to the AMOC (such as convection, overflows, the Gulf Stream, etc.), are sensitive to different model formulation, resolution, parameterizations, etc. This could include research based on coupled climate models, ocean-only models, or high-resolution global or regional models. 

Applications should be received by 14 June 2024. We will send invitations based on the relevance of research and the diversity of topics. Please use the following link:
