Changes In Vertical Motion Research Articles

Symposium on vertical motion

A Symposium on Vertical Motion in the Equatorial Upper Ocean and Its Effects Upon Living Resources and the Atmosphere is to be held May 6–10, 1985, in Paris, France. This multidisciplinary international symposium will address vertical motion in the equatorial upper ocean by bringing together leading researchers in oceanography, meteorology, and fisheries. Papers are invited within the following topics: (1) generation, maintenance, and dissipation mechanisms of vertical motion; (2) relationship between changes in vertical motion and upper ocean heat content, sea surface temperature, and atmospheric planetary boundary layer variations; (3) instrumentation, observational techniques, and data analysis methods; (4) relationship between vertical motion and nutrient enrichment, biological productivity, and fisheries yield; (5) coastal upwelling in low‐latitude regions; (6) the role of vertical motion in the 1982–1983 El Niño Southern Oscillation event; and (7) the relationship between vertical motion and the distribution of chemical properties.
