Future Directions in Basin and Global High-resolution Ocean Modelling
Ocean models are an integral part of today’s ocean and climate research. Advances in high-resolution ocean modelling provide opportunities but also challenges for simulating the ocean climate system,...
The opening ceremony of the tenth UNESCO/IOC-RTRC-ODC1 training course and the ten-year anniversary celebration of the ODC center were successfully held on 5th July 2021 at FIO2 (Qingdao), MNR3, China, with a hybrid of online and in person format.
This big event began with the review of the ODC center in the past ten years by Fangli Qiao,...
The CLIVAR endorsed workshop 'International workshop for mid-latitude air-sea interaction' was successfully organized virtually in mid-June, with 188 participants including 67 early career researchers and students from all over the world.
This workshop provided a forum for the exchange of ideas on mid-latitude atmosphere-ocean interactions and a wide range of related topics based on...
The forth regular telecon in 2021 of CLIVAR/CliC/SCAR Southern Ocean Region Panel (SORP) was held on 3rd June.
The co-chair Elisabeth Sikes, also a member of the Southern Ocean Task Force, she mentioned that now that SORP has officially been involved in the Southern Ocean UN...
The 2021 AGU Fall Meeting is going to be held on 13-17 December in New Orleans, LA and online. In preparation for the meeting, we have compiled a list of sessions that are relevant to the community and/or convened by CLIVAR Panels, Research Foci and community members. Abstract submission deadline: 4 August 2021 23:59 EDT/03:59 +1 GMT. The list of sessions is not intended to be...
The 2nd telecon of the Organising Committee of the CLIVAR/GOOS workshop titled ‘From global to coastal: Cultivating new solutions and partnerships for an enhanced Ocean Observing System in a decade of accelerating change’ was organised on 24 June 2021. The major outcomes from the telecon were:
The 42nd Session of the WCRP Joint Scientific Committee meeting (JSC-42) is in progress. During the meeting, a number of important issues, including the approval of plans for the new WCRP Lighthouse Activities, and the new “Core Projects” on “Earth System...
Two-way interaction among the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Ocean basins is increasingly recognized as a key factor in understanding climate variability on seasonal to multi-decadal timescales. This session, to be convened by the CLIVAR Tropical Basin Interaction Research Focus at the 2021 AGU Fall Meeting, highlights studies that examine atmospheric and oceanic pathways linking the tropical...
The Global Ocean Biogeochemistry (GO-BGC) array is a 5-year effort funded by the US National Science Foundation to produce and deploy 500 profiling floats equipped with biogeochemical sensors in the world ocean. Deployments will begin in the first quarter of 2021. To inform and engage a broad oceanographic user community, the Ocean Carbon &...
The 7th telecon of ENSO Conceptual Model Working Group was organised on 17 June, 2021 (June 16 for some participants).
At the beginning of the telecon, Jerome Vialard, the coordinator of the working group, briefly introduced a session proposal entitled ‘El Nino in a Changing Climate’ submitted to the 2022 Ocean Science...
The third regular telecon in 2021 of CLIVAR/CliC/SCAR Southern Ocean Region Panel (SORP) was held at 6th May. Since the members of SORP are widely spread in different continents, the regular meeting has been set to alternate between two different time to accommodate every member’s time zone.
During the meeting, the progresses of the on planning...
On the occasion of celebrating the 14th World Oceans Day, the China Workshop on UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030) was held on 8th June 2021 in Qingdao China, organised by the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) and the National Natural Science Foundation (NSFC) of China, and hosted by the First Institute of...
After a 3-year endeavor, the Tropical Atlantic Observing System (TAOS) Review Report is now published online.
The report discusses an evaluation of the scientific progress since the last review (in 2006) and recommends...
Conceptual schematic showing the related processes: ocean heat transport from the upstream increases because of the warming of the Atlantic Water inflow, but ocean surface heat release in the ice-free regions decreases due to more rapid atmosphere warming. Consequently, the mixed layer depth associated with winter convection decreases in the ice-free...
Tropical Pacific Decadal Variability plays an important role in the global climate as evident from its influence on the recent slowdown of the globally-averaged surface temperature trend as well as its impacts on fisheries, onset of Spring over the western US, and other quantities relevant for society. A CLIVAR Tropical Pacific...
