Most TCG events (∼79%) are influenced by more than one wave type. [...]multiscale interaction among these disturbances occurs during TCG. Global oceanic area, especially the Arctic Ocean, is a data-sparse region with a short period of observational records, although efforts have been made to collect as much data as possible both spatially and temporally. [...]products from data assimilation and model simulations are the major tools to study changes in and over the ocean. [...]current global climate models might not correctly take into account the significant effects of aerosols on clouds and on Earth’s overall energy balance. [...]the climate observation session was focused on generation and analysis of long-term data products of essential climate variables that are urgently needed to understand the climate system on different time scales (from subseasonal to decadal).
