“The ocean has variabilities on multiple spatial (e.g., from regional to global) and temporal (e.g., from sub-seasonal to multi-decadal) scales. Oceanic variabilities affect not only local climates but also remote areas through atmospheric teleconnections. Understanding the interaction of two or more oceans can help understand inconsistent climate responses when only one ocean’s climate variability is considered, thus improving future climate projections.”
Dr. Jin-Sil Hong is a Postdoctoral Associate at the Northern Gulf Institute (NGI) at the Mississippi State University and the Physical Oceanography Division at NOAA’s AOML. Dr. Hong is currently working on the influence of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans on the decadal drought frequency in the southeast U.S. She is also interested in the interbasin interactions via atmospheric and oceanic pathways and their impact on climate variability and extreme weather events.
