The Southern Ocean YouTube video by Xin Liu

#GEOL0022 all you ever wanted to know about the key role of the Southern Ocean in our climate system summarized in a great 5 minutes video by one of my students www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_zZ... Great work Billy Liu 👍.

See credits at the end for inspiration from @jbsallee.bsky.social and others...

If you think you might be interested to apply to the lecture position, please reach out to me so we can discuss about the qualification step to be done before mid-december.

BUT important: in France to apply for a lecturer position you need to be "qualified to do so" by submitting an application before mid-december (an application to be allowed to apply... 🤯 ... but that's compulsory and important).

I am told that they are looking for someone with an expertise in physical oceanography, and ideally sea-going experience. The application deadline will be in a few months probably in winter-spring time

🚨PERMANENT POSITION OPENING🚨
A lecturer position is opening at LOCEAN on the topic: ‘Impact of climate change on marine ecosystems in the Southern Ocean’ (permanent position with the French Natural History Museum, for a researcher that will be based at LOCEAN, in the centre of Paris).

Future atmospheric and ocean warming over the 21st century might be larger than previously expected based on a new study by @linusvogt.bsky.social

Linus & I developed the idea during Linus research visit with me at @whoi.edu and turned it then into this paper:

🚨🌊 New highlight paper out today in Earth System Dynamics!

We find an observational constraint implying more future global ocean heat uptake, cloud feedback, and warming than the CMIP6 mean.

This contrasts with previous estimates based on past warming trends.

Check out this very nice piece of work led by @linusvogt.bsky.social that untangles the processes controlling the efficiency of the world's ocean to capture climate change heat!

Maybe this @johncullenocean.bsky.social et al. piece where they said — "adding iron to the ocean is not an effective way to fight climate change, and we don't need further research to establish that" — wasn't straightforward enough because this idea just won't die. 🤷🏻‍♂️

🌊 The N.Atlantic has been experiencing extreme T°C in 2023. This situation raises a number of questions: Have we missed something? Do climate models allow us to understand such an event, or have we entered a new climate regime?
We attempted to answer these questions in this study:

Problem is that some colleagues have been so loud in press releases and in open letters saying amoc will collapse and ipcc underestimate the risk, that when you say it will 'only' decline and unlikely collapse (state of our knowledge) sceptics think that there is no pb...

NOAA firings hit the birthplace of weather and climate forecasting Dismissed researchers were improving severe weather predictions

Hi - I'd like to share this story of what is happening at NOAA GFDL, where some of my colleagues and I worked until the mass firings at NOAA last week.

"...the birthplace of weather and climate forecasting"

10 Stefan mentions in his blog that our study “does not change the assessment of the risk and impact of future AMOC changes in response to global warming”. After discussing this further, he confirmed that his view aligns with the IPCC’s medium confidence that the AMOC will not collapse before 2100.

Awesome! Have you tried to fish it?

@glenpeters.bsky.social makes an important point here.

I often ready in 🌊 #mCDR papers: IPCC says we need #CDR to achieve our climate targets, as all scenarios that reach these goals include a certain level of CDR.

Atlantic overturning inferred from air-sea heat fluxes indicates no decline since the 1960s - Nature Communications The AMOC is crucial for the global ocean overturning circulation and controls the climate around the North Atlantic.

Has the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) weakened over the last decades? In our new study, we combine state-of-the-art CMIP6 models and observation-based estimates of the air-sea heat flux in the North Atlantic to show that the AMOC has not declined since the 1960s! 🌊
