Interesting thought @germac.bsky.social, I have often thought I could identify signatures of the Med in various diagrams but never go answering this exact question. Conveniently the med contribution is pretty easy to identify by its salinity. I have thoughts on how to do it (in a gcm at least)

Plugging my new course: Rage Against the Machine - Learning

Paper just out in AI4Earth led by the incredible @eveapiedagnel.bsky.social. We show how to exploit the ocean’s tight T-S relationship at constant pressure to map trends in salinity from sparse data doi.org/10.1175/AIES.... GMM works well because the relationships are so linear, but why are they?

If anyone is at BACO25 looking for the room where a certain someone might be talking this morning 👀…it’s M211 - go right at the top of the escalator as you reach level 2. 🙂

Very proud of our student Josef (Joey) Bisits. My first time in JFM. It turns out you can have a stratified water column, mix it a little, and it becomes unstable. Fluid dynamics is fun!!!

I was going over a digital version of a paper from the 80s with my student yesterday and the scan was so bad we could distinguish some of the labels in a figure. I said he should ask the author (Trevor McDougall) for a preprint as I know he has kept them, at least until recently.

Seems everyone has arrived at BlueSky! I am taking some holidays till January but looking forward to communicating with you all more on the platform about climate/ocean/fluids/data in the NY! 🥳😎🎄

Mine is on indefinite loan from Alex Brearly…is he on here?

As far as I know this isn’t an early April fools joke. I’m excited to try to get back to Scotland - though less excited to be there in February

Just submitted an ARC DP EoI. 2 improvements in addition to 2 stages imho: 1. CV section is shorter (in one bit 5pages is swapped with 1500chars!) 2. Project partners only need to prepare a 1 page CV. I am now no longer embarrassed to ask international partners to do the paperwork for a full ‘ROPE’.

What is your niceness limit? I just got requests from a PhD program to give a reference for a student who took a graduate class of mine 2 years ago. No warning from them. I only have their old student email which bounces. I’d like to think I’m a nice guy but…

This is cleverly done

Really proud of this work, which went from an idea back in August 2022, to a published piece this week! With co-authors Damien Irving, @janzika.bsky.social, and Jonathan Gregory, we explored the reduced impact of aerosols on our climate system:
