| Summary: | Understanding the interactions between tropical
cyclones and the thermohaline circulation
(THC) and their contributions to climate and
climate change is an intriguing, challenging, and
important area of research. The oceanic overturning
circulation is a slow process whereas tropical cyclones
are a fast process, and both may be subject to abrupt
or long-term changes. The Early Career Scientist
Association’s Junior Faculty Forum explored ways
to incorporate modeling, observations, and geologic
reconstructions into understanding these interacting
components of the climate system in past, present, and
future climates. Following an extensive review of the current level of knowledge, including plenary talks by
invited speakers, the bulk of the meeting was dedicated
to two parallel discussion sessions focusing on the oceanic
overturning circulation and tropical cyclones.
