24th - 28th August 2015 Cape Town, South Africa

 

What is it all about ?

Tropical Atlantic climate and adjacent upwelling variations have important socio-economic consequences. Our understanding of climate in the region and its impacts is limited, and our ability to simulate and predict tropical Atlantic variability is poor. Recognising this, the EU FP7 PREFACE project, PIRATA programme and the CLIVAR Atlantic panel communities are organising the 2015 Tropical Atlantic and Adjacent Upwelling  Variability conference.

Schedule

3 days of open scientific conference (Tue-Thu, 25th-27th) and extra days of PREFACE, PIRATA and CLIVAR Atlantic internal meetings and workshops (Mon 24th, Thu-Fri, 27th-28th).

Detailed agenda for the TAV conference and list of abstracts now available! Please let us know (Mathieu Rouault and session conveners of any changes  in posters and oral presentation or who is presenting on your behalf. Please check the program carefully.

 

Venue

The open conference will take place at the Protea Hotel Breakwater Lodge from 25th-27th August 2015.
