About
ROADMAP addresses:
• impacts of a changing ocean circulation on sea surface temperature (SST)
• future of western boundary currents and their extensions, such as the Gulfstream
• extratropical ocean-atmosphere interactions controlling jet streams, cyclones, blocking and their links to weather and climate extremes
• impacts of tropical SST anomalies (e.g. El Nino) on the extratropical atmospheric circulation
• role of the SST and Arctic sea ice for driving impact-relevant atmospheric extremes such as heat waves including compound weather extremes
• intensity and frequency of Mediterranean mesoscale cyclones (Medicanes)
• interactions between oceanic and atmospheric modes of variability
Results will be disseminated to the scientific, stakeholder and climate service community as well the general public.
