Background information

This Third miniforum is organized following the success of the two first ones, organized respectively on 16 November 2020 and 28 October 2021. For the record, the First Miniforum was organized to meet the recommendation of the Ninth South West Indian Ocean Climate Outlook Forum (SWIOCOF-9, online, 14-17 September 2020) and the request of end-users.
