intro

In continuation of a recently established tradition of back-to-back Prediction and Research moored Array in the Tropical Atlantic-PIRATA, Tropical Atlantic Climate Experiment-TACE, and Tropical Atlantic Variability-TAV meetings, the next Meeting will be held on Fernando de Noronha Island, PE, Brazil, from 14 to 17 March 2011.








Fernando de Noronha Airport (FEN) is a tiny airport, with transfers from the international
Airports in Recife-PE or Natal-RN. Regular flights by GOL, TRIP, and TAM airlines.

This meeting shall focus on process studies and observational needs to improve coupled ocean-atmosphere modeling over the tropical Atlantic, as well as address whether current regular observations over the tropical Atlantic are adequate for climate change research.

  • Climate events, teleconnections and anomalies in the Tropical Atlantic;

  • Progress and limitations on TAV predictability and prediction;

  • Biogeochemical cycles: Tropical Atlantic interactions and climate;

  • Data impact studies, validation and use of ocean reanalyzes products;

  • Physical processes in the coupled climate system: observational and modeling results.
