Out in the open ocean and in the deep fjords, a very special type of fish is hiding

Hi everyone, We’ll have our Stormtracks group meeting this Wednesday (20.05) from 14:00 to 15:00 at Skybar (BCCR 3180). This week Hari will give a talk on How the background climate state modulates the storm track response to mesoscale SST features? The meeting will be hybrid and you can join remotely via Zoom: https://uib.zoom.us/j/62886269543?pwd=ajWbi97zr0hbniaoQdZkUtD2EUSSri.1 Meeting ID: 628 8626 9543 | Password: qSKTfKU3 The meeting schedule for this semester is in the following google doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1F9hy45DSeS9qrXl-3l4cNzCPSE9OuBBVqdCu3VY240U/edit?usp=sharing See you all there! :) Cheers, Birgit and Yangfan

As a part of the BCCR Training Programme in Machine Learning, there will be a seminar on AI/ML research at the BCCR on Monday, June 1st from 11:00 to 14:00. We will have two sessions of two talks each, with a free lunch provided in between. The speakers will present their work using neural networks, with a focus on what type of neural network they use and how they help them solve their problems. Please sign up for a free lunch here: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=vCSKZI2pJUCcYEjBmhQgaemxD9CtoRROnJCKyVCOholURTRMWUtRNkdHN0xCMUpNVzhEU1ZNSUdOTS4u&route=shorturl Here is the current programme: 11:00 - 11:30 - Kamilla Wergeland from NORCE and Småkraft AS: Improving Day-Ahead Production Forecasts for Run-of-River Hydropower Using Long Short-Term Neural Networks. 11:30 - 12:00 - Antoine Bernigaud from NERSC: Super-resolution of sea surface height: U-net VS GAN. 12:00 - 13:00 - Lunch break 13:00 - 13:30 - Yangfan Zhou from GFI: Using deep learning for precipitation downscaling in Norway. 13:30 - 14:00 - Julien Brajard from NERSC: End-to-end AI forecasting of Arctic Sea Ice from observations.
