SUMMARY:Ocean Science Meeting (OSM) 2022 - Call for abstracts
LOCATION:Honolulu\, HI\, USA
DESCRIPTION:Abstract and Town Hall/Event submission is open. The submission deadline is
  29 September, 11:59 pm Eastern Daylight Time.\nSouthern Ocean freshening h
 as various sources linking to land ice, sea ice, the atmosphere and ocean d
 ynamics itself. We thus must work across disciplines to fully understand so
 urces and consequences, to be able to detect, attribute and predict. For th
 e Ocean Sciences Meeting 2022 (https://www.aslo.org/osm2022/) we thus invit
 e you to contribute with your work and experience to this discussion in ord
 er to bridge still existing gaps in knowledge, data coverage and model capa
 bilities.\nPlease submit an abstract to\n\nHL16 Sources and consequences of
  Southern Ocean freshening: Toward synthesising observations and modelling\
 n\nThe Southern Ocean is consistently freshening, particularly in the upper
  layers and near the Antarctic coast. Freshening has been attributed to an 
 increase in precipitation, basal melting of ice shelves and enhanced sea-ic
 e melt and export. Freshening has also been observed in the abyssal Antarct
 ic bottom water, formed close to the Antarctic coast and exported globally.
  The exact proportionality is highly uncertain, but all these processes con
 tribute to formation of sea ice through strengthening surface stratificatio
 n, changes in ocean circulation, and sea level rise. Implications for the o
 ceanic heat content and the stability of the Antarctic ice sheet are likely
  but not yet well known. As the climate system continues to warm the relati
 ve magnitude of these processes and associated feedbacks may change leading
  to uncertain impacts on polar and global climate.\nWith this session we ai
 m beyond sharing most recent research and plan for an engaged exchange amon
 g the scientific communities of ocean and cryosphere, modeling and observat
 ions, early career researchers and senior experts to examine the current st
 ate of knowledge on Southern Ocean freshening and discuss future research. 
 We are particularly interested in work closing the gap between observations
  and modelling; this includes coordinated monitoring approaches and targete
 d joint model experiments. We specifically welcome ideas and proposals for 
 highlighting the Southern Ocean in the just starting UN decade of ocean sci
 ence.\n\nAbstract submission is open until 29 September, 11:59 pm EDT at <a
