COAWST 2014 Outline Southwest Pacific Ocean region Objectives Methodology Results Outlook

COAWST 2014 Objectives Are any significant changes in mean storminess to be expected by the end of the 21 st century? Does regional ocean-atmosphere coupling help to improve the predictability of mean storminess during the 21 st century?
