AGU26: Call for Abstract - Session OS023

[Sree Lakshmi]

Dear colleagues, 

We would like to warmly invite you to submit an abstract to our upcoming AGU26 session:

OS023 – Improving Understanding of Tropical Cyclones and Winter Storms and Their Impacts on the Coastal Zone Through Observations, Model Systems, and AI/ML

Session Description: 

Storms can dramatically modify hydrography and circulation, and the impacts of storm events can be direct (e.g., storm surge) or indirect (i.e., changes to background conditions). Furthermore, feedbacks between the coastal ocean and storm systems can lead to significant changes in storm characteristics. Storm conditions present practical challenges to ocean observing and modeling which limit our understanding of their compound effect on coastal and estuarine systems. This session also seeks to enhance our understanding of mixing and physical transport processes in estuaries and the coastal ocean during extreme events. Therefore, reliable observation systems need to be developed in conjunction with advanced warning modeling systems, and the inclusion of the AI/ML. This session serves as a forum to share knowledge of storm systems in coastal environments. Research topics include but are not limited to: coastal ocean observing and modeling systems, feedbacks and impacts of storms on coastal systems, and evaluation of ecological dynamics.

AGU26 will be held in San Francisco, CA, from December 7-11, 2026
