A workshop was held in December 2018 (pre-AGU) focused on estimating freshwater fluxes from the Greenland Ice Sheet. It was sponsored by the National Science Foundation, and co-hosted by CLIVAR and CliC projects OMDP, NORP, and ISMIP6. The workshop had ~40 international participants from a variety of disciplines (oceanography, glaciology,...

Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems (EBUS) are areas of important biological productivity and high fluxes of energy and matter between the atmosphere and ocean. However, their future under intense anthropogenic pressure is uncertain. Improved observations and theoretical understanding of the main physical and biogeochemical processes that link planetary and basin...
Figure 2: Multiple concepts of high-end sea-level. The x-axis is the amount of sea-level rise for a given time-interval. In the vertical the figure displays the probability density. The blue curve represents a combined pdf for all possible emission scenarios. The grey and red building blocks have to be added to the RCP curves depending...

Session Description:
This session highlights water cycle research that describes the linkages between the ocean, atmosphere, and land hydrology. Contributions are invited on all aspects of water cycle research including analyses undertaken using in situ and spaceborne observations from current (e.g., SMAP, SMOS, GRACE-FO, GPM, GCOM-W), past (e.g., Aquarius, TRMM, GRACE...
The 2019 AGU Fall Meeting will be held from December 9-13 in San Francisco, California. In preparation for the meeting, we have compiled a list of sessions that are relevant to the community and organized by our Panels, Research Foci and community members. The list of sessions is not intended to be exhaustive but to...
