Objectives

The goal of the "Years of the Maritime Continent (YMC)" is to expedite the progress of improving understanding and prediction of local multi-scale variability of the MC weather-climate system and its global impact through observations and modeling exercises.

Campaign Period

2017 - 2020
Several intensive observing periods (IOPs) have been planned for this period. Others may be added beyond 2020.

Five Science Themes

  1. Atmospheric Convection
  2. Upper-Ocean Processes and Air-Sea Interaction
  3. Stratosphere-Troposphere Interaction
  4. Aerosol
  5. Prediction Improvement

Five Main Activities

  1. Data Sharing
  2. Field Campaign
  3. Modeling
  4. Prediction and Applications
  5. Outreach and Capacity Building
