The Maritime Continent* experiences various extreme weather events, including floods, extreme rainfall, droughts, and even tropical cyclones. During the workshop, we will focus on comprehending the influence of equatorial waves in driving these weather extremes.
*The Maritime Continent is a term used to describe the region between the Indian and Pacific Oceans including the archipelagos of Indonesia, Borneo, New Guinea, the Philippine Islands, the Malay Peninsula, and the surrounding seas.
In recent years, there has been a growing number of research studies indicating that equatorial waves are responsible for triggering weather extremes in the Maritime Continent.
This finding is crucial because understanding the factors behind these extremes can enhance the predictability of such events and ensure the safety of people.
This workshop is designed for the following groups:
National, regional, and local weather forecasters, specializing in general and extreme weather predictions for short and medium-range forecasts;
Forecasters and climatologists responsible for subseasonal predictions;
Scientists interested in contributing to the application of scientific research in operational forecasting;
Early-career scientists, as well as master's and PhD students interested in Natural Sciences and Natural Hazards.
