Since its advent, the ICSHMO has provided a unique contribution to ocean and atmosphere sciences that are specific to the Southern Hemisphere. The ICSHMO takes place every 3rd year. The previous one gathered 470 scientists in Melbourne in 2009 and was focussed on extreme events (http://www.bom.gov.au/events/9icshmo/).

Attracting both students and scientists from developing countries has always been a priority for ICSHMO. The objective of the 2012 conference, the 10th of the series, is to provide an interdisciplinary forum for presentations of our current state of knowledge, as well as motivating new research and applications within the variety of disciplines related to weather and climate of the ocean and atmosphere. ICSHMO focuses on the unique aspects of atmospheric and oceanic sciences in the Southern Hemisphere. Particular attention will be given to the following theme areas, however it should be stressed that a broad range of submissions are encouraged and are NOT restricted just to the following areas of the Southern Hemisphere:

Monsoon Systems and Convergence Zones

Sea level rise & vulnerability

Climate predictability

Ocean circulation and climate

Climate change in the Southern Hemisphere

Interdecadal climate variability and impacts

Interannual climate variability and teleconnections

Intraseasonal climate variability

Severe weather systems and Tropical cyclones

Inter-ocean exchanges

Ocean observing systems and Operational Oceanography

Island weather, climate and oceanography

Cryosphere

From Climate Change Science to Adaptation
