Dakar 2005: Conference Themes


Surface - Atmosphere Feedbacks

Surface-Atmosphere feedbacks: Recent studies with climate models have confirmed that the WAM is a hot-spot of surface-atmosphere interactions but the processes causing this strong interac-tion have not yet been identified. Presentations in this section will re-view our current knowledge and present new ideas on the mechanisms which could explain the strong surface-atmosphere feedbacks. The discussions should foster coordinated studies to explore and better understand the coupling at a regional and mesoscale.


Coordinators: C. Taylor, J. Polcher
