Abstracts can be submitted to the following session:
A22: South America Monsoon System: Past, Present and Future
Description: The South American Monsoon System (SAMS) plays a fundamental role in driving the atmospheric circulations and water and energy balances in the tropics and subtropics. Water and agricultural resources for millions of people in South America depend on the intensity, timing and duration of SAMS. This session will accept presentations related to observational and modeling studies of SAMS in three major themes:
- past variability of SAMS through paleoclimate records and modeling,
- SAMS in the present climate and
- projections of future changes in SAMS
Sponsor: Atmospheric Science
CoSponsor: Hydrology, Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology
