OutlineComplex Dynamical Systems FocusFocus Leader: Manvendra Dubey dubey@lanl.gov This focus area emphasizes the nonlinear dynamics and multi-equilibria of the coupled atmosphere, (liquid and ice covered) ocean, hydrosphere, and biosphere of planet Earth, on scales ranging from urban canopies to basin and global extent. General interests are studies that extend our understanding of the causes of temporal variations of ocean and atmospheric basin scale oscillations; rapid climate change on both global and regional scales; and the physics and chemistry governing multiscale interactions extending from the urban canopy to basin scales. Use of LANL facilities and data bases (e.g., use of LANL's GIS facilities, and/or data bases of the ARM program, and from remote sensing platforms) are strongly encouraged. Specific topics of interest in FY06 include the following:
