Indian Ocean Special Session at BACO 2025 Conference in Busan, Republic of Korea
JPM04 Indian Ocean Sciences
Conveners:
Yukio Masumoto (University of Tokyo, Japan, IAPSO)
Nick D’Adamo (The University of Western Australia, Australia)
Raleigh Hood (Univ. of Maryland, USA)
Satheesh Shenoi (INCOIS-Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services, India)
Tamaki Suematsu (RIKEN Center for Computational Science, Japan)
Hisashi Nakamura (Univ. of Tokyo, Japan)
Description:
The Indian Ocean is unique on the globe. Its northern boundary blocked by the continent of Asia, at a lower latitude, generates a strong monsoonal climate in the northern hemisphere, while the southern hemisphere is widely open to the Southern Ocean. Water inflows through the Indonesian Seas from the Pacific and the outflows to the Atlantic via the Agulhas Current system and also exchanges through the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, affecting the energy and mass balance within the sector. The Indian Ocean also interacts with the atmosphere through the surface boundaries, with the rivers through runoffs, and solid earth through the ocean bottom. All these give rise to many unique and important phenomena that are not observed in the Atlantic or Pacific Oceans. Since the countries on the rim of the Indian Ocean house about 30% of the World’s population, its influence on socio-economic values and the activities is quite high.
This symposium aims to summarize and highlight recent advances in our understanding of Indian Ocean multi-disciplinary sciences. We invite papers on various aspects of Indian Ocean sciences, including, but not limited to, circulation and boundary currents, climate and monsoon variability, extreme events, air-sea interactions, ocean observations and data, impacts of climate change, biogeochemical processes, biology and ecology of the Indian Ocean. This session also invites papers describing programs, projects, activities and other significant contributions to showcase the ongoing or planned activities and the connection of ocean scientists with the broader agenda of sustainable development of oceans. We especially welcome contributions from international teams and consortia highlighting the power of international cooperation, capacity and knowledge sharing in a transdisciplinary context, e.g. the ongoing international activities such as the Second International Indian Ocean Expedition (IIOE-2) and the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (UNDOS).
The deadline of the abstract submission for BACO25 is 15th February, 2025.
