* Speaker presents in AMS DYNAMO session on Wednesday, July 11.

Day 2 Friday July 13, 2012

0830-1000General Discussion - Development of Collaborative Themes
 Examples:
  1. Wyrtki Jet dynamics
  2. gravity currents in ocean and atmosphere - slippery boundary layers?
  3. sea surface patchiness - where does the precip go?
  4. short fetch gravity wave field - how do they build ahead of the gust fronts?
  5. reconstruction of the specific event - the idea of doing this as guidance for analysis for all of us. In fact, possible article for BAMS. DYNAMO is doing an overview of everything. But we might do a nice aircraft/ship-centric article if people think this is a good idea.
      candidates
    1. 24 Nov - arrival of leading edge of MJO wind burst - but not great aircraft coverage
    2. Nov 13 or 26, boundary layer centric flights over Revelle designed to make joint analyses
  6. effects of precipitation and convection on atmospheric boundary layers
  7. upper ocean mixing in response to various atmospheric forcing, surface warm layer
  8. air-sea flux and coupling mechanisms in various convective regimes
  9. fresh water lenses (maybe included in sea surface patchiness in #3 above)
 Break
1030Issue Discussion from Meeting
1130Publications and meetings discussion items:
  • A BAMS paper is under preparation that summarizes the basic information of all aspects of the field campaign;
  • A special collection will be arranged for AMS journal articles;
  • Another possible special collection can be arranged for AGU journal articles;
  • A special issue of the Journal of the Meteorological Society of Japan will be arranged;
  • J. Moum will lead an article on the Nov 24 case (journal to be decided);
  • A special session has been proposed to the AGU fall meeting and abstracts are solicited;
  • A data-modeling workshop is being arranged on Big Island, Hawaii, March 4-9, 2013.
1200Concluding Remarks - Dan Eleuterio and Scott Harper
