Abstract This talk shares SOCCO’s journey from a small South African research effort to a leading Southern Ocean carbon–climate programme. Through pioneering glider campaigns, remote sensing and high-resolution modelling, we show how fine-scale ocean dynamics shape the seasonal cycle, carbon flux variability and climate sensitivity—offering new insights and challenges for next-generation climate models. Speaker information Sandy Thomalla is a Chief Researcher at the CSIR and Research Group Leader of the Southern Ocean Carbon-Climate Observatory (SOCCO), a national programme advancing understanding of the Southern Ocean’s role in a changing climate. Her work focuses on how physical drivers shape event-scale to inter-annual variability in ecosystem and biogeochemical processes, with the aim of better constraining carbon cycling in the Southern Ocean. Her combined expertise in observations, autonomous technologies, and remote sensing provides a strong foundation for improving assessing the climate sensitivity of the Southern Ocean biological carbon pump.

Hi everyone, We’ll have our last Stormtracks group meeting of the semester this Wednesday (10.12) from 13:00 to 14:00 in U105. This week Ozan will give a talk on Results from Impetus4Change and EuroCordex simulations of regional climate with WRF. We’ll also have our holiday social with sweets! 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 and we’ll have new schedule for next semester soon. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yjicxkFp_8Y17LVftgksb1SnqSUSUXogg0pOFZfbK0g/edit?usp=sharing See you all there! :) Cheers, ~Hari and Yangfan
