Monday seminar: Using teleconnections to link weather to climate

Tidspunkt

16. desember 2024, 13:15-14:00

Sted

Bjerknes lecture room (4th floor, room 4020)

Dear all,

Monday (16th December) at 14:15, there will be the last BCCR seminar of 2024, by Clemens Spensberger on “Using teleconnections to link weather to climate”.

The seminar will take place in Bjerknes lecture room (4th floor, room 4020). For those not able to attend in person, it will be possible to join on zoom.

Abstract

Conventionally, teleconnections in the atmosphere are described by correlations between monthly mean fields. These correlations are supposedly caused by stationary Rossby waves. I will in this talk explore the hypothesis that teleconnections are instead established by chains of events on synoptic timescales, that is by weather.

This talk will be my farewell to GFI and the Bjerknes Centre, and I will use the occasion to synthesise a number of published and recent results to underpin what was the main hypothesis for my attempt at an ERC Starting Grant, now instead published as a WCD Idea paper.

About the speaker

I am a researcher in dynamic meteorology and have been at GFI and the Bjerknes Centre since early 2011, moving to Bergen to take a PhD with Thomas Spengler. I have been abroad a few years for a postdoc mobility stipend, but otherwise spent all my academic life here in Bergen. I started out trying to better understand the behaviour of individual mid-latitude weather systems, first and foremost jet streams, but increasingly tried to use this lens to build bridges to longer time scales.

Ocean Science Bar, Sea Level Change, One Tide at a Time?

Welcome to Ocean Science Bar Thursday 22nd of May at 1900 in Statsraaden Bar & Reception! (Note the change of date - we normally have Ocean Science Bar the last Thursday of the month but had to make an exception here) Bergen at the turning point: Sea Level Change, One Tide at a Time? How much has the sea around Bergen risen recently? Is it going to keep rising – and how fast? And what does Greenland have to do with it? Sea level isn’t as steady as it might seem. It moves, slowly but surely. The factors driving these changes are complex, and understanding them is key to knowing what’s ahead for Bergen. In this talk, Konstanze Haubner (University of Bergen, SEAS fellow) and Kristin Richter (NORCE) explore how and why the ocean is slowly reshaping the Norwegian coast. Drawing on research focused on regions like Greenland and Western Norway, they reveal the forces behind sea level change - and what it means for Bergen. Join us for a talk and a pint, meet colleagues and get an update on the latest ocean research - welcome to all! Please help spread the word in your group.

Den store bredagen

Forskning og friluftsliv - for deg med hjarte for breen Breane smeltar verda over. Bli med på ei rundreise til verdas brear, forsking på breane og til debatt om korleis friluftsliv og turisme går i hop med bevaring av breane våre. Programmet er under utarbeiding - merk deg dagen! Programmet blir hovudsakleg på norsk 2025 er av FN utnemnt som Det internasjonale breåret, for å skaffe merksemd om bevaring av breane i alle verdsdeler.
