Tom has submitted a paper to JPO called A Conceptual Model of Polar Overturning Circulations. Here’s the abstract: The global ocean overturning circulation carries warm, salty water to high latitudes, both in the Arctic and Antarctic. Interaction with the atmosphere transforms this inflow into three distinct products: sea ice, surface Polar Water, and deep Overflow […]

North Atlantic freshwater preprint
Jan Erik Tesdal, collaborator and graduate student at Columbia University, has submitted a paper to the Journal of Geophysical Research (Oceans) with Tom. The title is: Dominant terms in the freshwater and heat budgets of the subpolar North Atlantic Ocean and Nordic Seas from 1992 to 2015. Check it out on ESSOAr!
How rapidly do the southern subtropical oceans respond to wind stress changes?
Tom published a paper in JGR Oceans with colleague Darryn Waugh. See it here.
Miguel Jimenez-Urias seminar
Miguel gave a great seminar in our Atmospheres & Oceans discussion group last week. He discussed his PhD thesis research on the dynamics of flow across the Greenland-Scotland Ridge. You can watch it here!
OC3D review
Leon Vlieger has written a review of Ocean Circulation in Three Dimensions.
Congratulations Dr. Almansi!
Mattia Almansi presented and defended his PhD thesis yesterday. His thesis title is “Denmark Strait Ocean Circulation Variability.” The presentation and discussion was online with participants in Europe and the US. Mattia himself was alone in an AirBnB in Southampton, UK (where he will start his postdoc next week). Under these challenging circumstances, Mattia did […]
IDIES Seed Fund Award
Postdoc Miguel Jimenez Urias, Tom Haine, and Charles Meneveau have been awarded a $25,000 IDIES seed fund grant for the project “Towards the Development of Scale-Dependent, Non-Local, Turbulent Closures in Rotating Stratified Flows”! The project will last one year, starting 1 April 2020.
Atousa wins Dean’s Teaching Fellowship
Congratulations to graduate student Atousa Saberi who has been awarded a Dean’s Teaching Fellowship! Atousa will teach a class on “Natural Hazards” in the Earth & Planetary Sciences department in Fall 2020.
Mattia’s GRL paper
Graduate student Mattia Almansi published his latest research findings on Denmark Strait Overflow cyclones, and their relationship to overflow surges, in Geophysical Research Letters. Well done Mattia!
Well done Atousa!
Atousa Saberi passed her Graduate Board Oral exam today, an important milestone on her journey towards her PhD. Congratulations!
