IUGG2003 General Assembly
Sapporo, Japan
The following listing is divided into two parts, IAPSO only symposia (symposia organized by IAPSO without participation by other IUGG Associations) and IAPSO led joint symposia (which have participation by one or more of the other Associations).
Western boundary currents (WBCs) of subtropical gyres play
important roles in the meridional heat and freshwater transport,
and, as a consequence, global climate. The following topics will
be addressed:
Observation and monitoring techniques for WBCsThe symposium also covers tropical and subpolar western boundary currents as well as deep western boundary currents. Selected papers from this symposium will be published in a special issue of the Journal of Oceanography.
Structure and dynamics of each WBC
Common features and differences of WBCs
Response of WBCs to atmospheric forcing
Roles of WBCs in global climate
Modeling WBCs
Predicting fluctuations of WBCs

The circulation of marginal and semi-enclosed seas is
influenced by variable bottom topography, atmospheric forcing,
river runoff, and tides to varying degrees. They are rich in
mesoscale variability (meandering jets, eddies, and fronts). For
the marginal seas, exchange with the open ocean may be relatively
rapid. Topics to be included are coastal upwelling and cool
filaments, cross-shelf transport, shelf break fronts, surface and
bottom boundary layers, internal waves and tides.
In some semi-enclosed seas, ventilation and deepwater
formation are significant processes. In general, the renewal of
the deep waters is of interest in the presence of shallow sills.
For example, the ventilation processes, location, formation
rates, pathways and flow rates are of interest. Because these seas
are partially closed systems, they consequently have relatively
slow exchange rates with the open ocean, and their unique
exchange properties can lead to effects that are of special
interest for biogeochemical, ecological, and fisheries oceanography
studies.
Reports from observational and/or modelling studies are
encouraged. The general principles controlling the circulation,
exchange processes, biogeochemistry, ecology, and fisheries
oceanography of these seas are sought. The following semi-
enclosed regions will be covered: the Mediterranean Sea, the North-
West European Seas, the Black Sea, the East China Sea, Japan
(East) Sea, Sea of Okhosk, South China Sea and other similar
areas. The circulation and internal tides of the marginal areas of all
the major oceans are included.

This symposium addresses processes of energy transfer and
dispersion in the ocean that occupy scales smaller than the
internal radius of deformation. These processes lead to turbulence
through tidal energy conversion, breaking internal waves, shear
from mesoscale features, and interactions between internal waves,
currents and seafloor topography. Presentations on these
processes and resulting mixing are welcome. These energy
transfers and the resultant mixing are highly nonhomogenous in
space and time.
Reports are desired on studies of the so-called "Hot Spots"
where tidal conversions associated with steep seafloor topography
lead to locally strong mixing. High latitude oceans, where these
energy sources can be particularly significant relative to others
because of an overall low energy environment, are of special
interest. The convenors welcome discussion of how processes,
tidal, mesoscale or small scale, lead to diapycnal or isopycnal
transfers of heat, momentum and other properties both in mid-water
and near boundaries. Presentations are solicited that examine the
quantitative disagreement between mixing parameterizations
suitable for ocean circulation models and field-derived values.

Symposium Abstracts
Natural and artificial chemical and isotopic tracers find extensive applications in studies of surface and deep-water circulation, and in the determination of time scales of water movement and ventilation. Several oceanographic programs (including some of the major ones such as the GEOSECS, TTO and WOCE) have amply demonstrated the power of these natural (e.g. 14C, 39Ar, 32Si, 3He, Ra isotopes, Rn, Nd isotopes) and transient (3H, 14C, Chlorofluorocarbons) tracers to understand and to characterize mixing processes in the thermocline and deep waters, to determine advection-diffusion rates, air-sea exchange rates of gases, to assess simulated circulation in models and to infer paleo-circulation etc. The successful application of these tracers to derive quantitative information on water column processes depends on: (i) high precision measurements of their distribution, (ii) characterization of various processes contributing to their distribution in the water column, and (iii) development of appropriate models to describe their distribution. For several of these tracers, their involvement in biogeochemical interactions is an important characteristic, which influences their distribution in the water column. Significant advances have been made in all of the three aspects mentioned above, which has placed the application of these tracers for studying present and past ocean circulation on a firm footing.Convenor: Prof. Devandra Lal, Scripps Institution of Oceanography-UCSD, Geosciences Research Division, 0244, La Jolla CA, 92093-0244; Tel (858) 534-2134; Fax (858) 822-3310;

During and after the WOCE period, a significant number of
observational and model studies have been carried out on the Indian
Ocean circulation and dynamics. The scope of the symposium is to
discuss the current state of knowledge of the physical
oceanography and air-sea interaction of the Indian Ocean,
especially water mass distributions and pathways, monsoon-driven
processes and upwelling, subduction and ventilation, thermohaline
overturning circulation and associated heat and freshwater
transports, exchanges with the Pacific and Atlantic, equatorial
waves and the role ofthe ocean in intraseasonal to interannual
climate anomalies. We encourage presentations on these
subjects, but also on interdisciplinary areas such as the influence
of advection and mixing in contributing to variations in primary
productivity. It is planned to publish a collection of papers in a peer-
reviewed journal.

Recent research programs have focused on observations and
modeling of the physical, chemical, and biological oceanography of
the Southern Ocean. We encourage presentation of these results
to increase understanding of the linkages between circulation and
biological processes, and the roles of summer and winter
processes, sea ice, topography, nutrient limitation, and ocean-ice-
atmospheric interactions in the Southern Ocean. The session will
discuss processes associated with Southern Ocean food webs,
sea ice dynamics, water mass formation, export from the Antarctic
to the global ocean, and dynamics of the Antarctic Circumpolar
Current and Antarctic Circumpolar Wave. We invite discussion of
seasonal, interannual and decadal variability. This forum will foster
continued multidisciplinary research into Antarctic oceanographic
processes.

Several climatic variations on decadal to centennial
timescales have recently been identified in the ocean and
atmosphere. Decadal variability of the North Atlantic Oscillation,
Arctic Oscillation, Pacific Decadal Oscillation, and Atlantic
Multidecadal Oscillation are some examples. Various theories for
these long-term modes of variability have been proposed including
internal oceanic or atmospheric variability, an air-sea coupled
mode associated with a delayed oscillator with or without
interaction between the mid-latitudes and tropics, oceanic resonant
responses to stochastic atmospheric forcings. Observational,
modeling, analysis, and prediction studies that address global or
regional decadal-to-centennial phenomena in the ocean and
atmosphere are welcomed.

New perspectives on ocean-atmosphere interactions have been
developing on several fronts, including the importance of salinity
stratification, the Indian Ocean coupled variability and the
Atlantic interhemispheric gradient of SST, interaction of the
Subtropical Cell with equatorial processes, the Indonesian
Throughflow, and the rectified effects of coupling on intraseasonal
time scales. These aspects of coupled ocean-atmosphere system
have a variety ofimplications concerning the predictability of tropical
SST and atmospheric diabatic heating variations, and the
predictability of tropical-subtropical interactions. This symposium
is proposed to harness current activities in order to shed light on
the new perspectives.

The Arctic has experienced rapid change during the last few
decades: i.e., reduction of sea ice extent, the intensification of
the Polar Vortex, an increase in cloud cover, and deteriorating
permafrost. A significant reduction of the North Atlantic Deep
Water formation and an increase in Atlantic Water underneath
the Arctic Halocline may be tied to these changes as well. Papers
are invited with the foci on (1) the signals from and roles of the
ocean and land surface influenced by the atmosphere and/or their
feedback to the atmosphere, (2) the mechanisms and
consequences of ocean-land interactions through the atmosphere
and rivers, (3) oceanic and terrestrial chemical tracer studies, (4)
interactions with biosphere and geochemical processes, and (5)
paleoclimatic studies.

This session is concerned with the techniques for monitoring
the time and space scales of mean and extreme sea level changes
worldwide and the scientific findings based on those observations
and other in situ data. Techniques for sea level measurement
include tide gauges and satellite radar altimetry while those for
land movements include GPS and DORIS. These different methods
for sea and land level monitoring are especially complementary in
the fields of long term sea level change due to climate change, and
in the ongoing calibration of altimetry by means of tide gauges.
The symposium will, therefore, include a special session on the
monitoring of tide gauge benchmarks by means of new geodetic
techniques (especially GPS), following on from other successful
earlier workshops in the field.

The Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) is being
designed and implemented as a sustained and integrated system
based on user needs. This is an end-to-end system, ranging from
observations to needed products and services, and integrating all
disciplinary areas. The strategic design and initial implementation
are proceeding as two coordinated modules: one for climate and
marine services, and one for coastal GOOS. This session focuses
on the climate and marine services module of GOOS.
Presentations are solicited that review its observing system
components. These include both remote and in situ observations
(e.g., Argo floats, XBT observations including low and high density
lines, the ENSO observing system, satellite altimetry, sea surface
temperature from satellites, or scatterometers) and the way such
observations are, or can be, integrated (e.g., through data
assimilation techniques as planned by the Global Ocean Data
Assimilation Experiment).
Assessments of the value and utility of the observing system for
different applications are particularly encouraged. Descriptions of
the potential for new in-situ and remote sensing techniques also
are welcome.

The need for good predictions of coastal ocean response to
natural and anthropogenic forcings requires the development of
dynamical, biogeochemical, and ecological models which simulate
processes with high spatial resolution on temporal scales from
hours to decades and longer. This in turn requires observational
datasets which can provide initial and boundary conditions,
time series data on short to long time scales for validation of
model predictions, and innovative data which address the processes
and interactions that govern biogeochemical transformations and
ecosystem functioning. The symposium will focus on the current
state-of-the-art of whole shelf and coastal models with emphasis on
recent progress in holistic modelling (including data
assimilation), interdisciplinary data collection and analysis,
end-user products, and identification of prediction-limiting
factors in current models.

During the past decades an increasing number of scientists have devoted their interests to model large and meso-scale ocean and atmosphere flows. Only recently, ocean and atmosphere models have improved to such an extent that they are capable of running with less artificial diffusion and instead require better parameterisations of many fundamental flow processes, such as near boundary flows, vortex motions, wave motions and mixing. In this framework, we invite theoretical, numerical and experimental contributions that advance the fundamental understanding of geophysical flows. In particular we welcome studies on (i) coherent vortex motions and their mutual interaction (ii) vortex interaction with mean flows, waves or topography (iii) waves and interaction with mean currents (iv) boundary flows (v) rotating and/or stratified turbulence (vi) mixing by turbulence or vortices.

Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, floods, droughts, tsunamis, storm surges, wildfires, tropical cyclones, tornadoes and extreme space weather events become major societal risks when they impinge on vulnerable populations. The growth in world population, its urbanization, and the possibility of climate change and global climate change exacerbate the vulnerability. Factors increasing vulnerability also include increased resources in newly developing areas, increased cost and complexity of urban infrastructure, and the technical and social interdependencies of infrastructure systems. There is thus an urgent need to understand the present and future vulnerability of populations to geophysical hazards and to ascertain the best ways to mitigate physical, social and economic impact.
