ScopeHistorically, the extratropical ocean had been considered passive to atmospheric variability. Recent studies, however, revealed that the extratropical ocean also influences atmospheric circulations, and the interactive ocean-atmosphere coupling has attracted considerable interest for its active roles in the climate system. The goal of this session is to further deepen our understanding of the air-sea interaction in the extratropics by focusing on a wide variety of phenomena from mesoscale to basin-scale, and from daily to global warming timescales. Studies related to the extratropical air-sea interaction involving cloud, aerosol, ecosystem and the connection with tropical/polar regions are also welcomed.
