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.

Carbon System Group meeting

Dear all, we would like to invite you to a Carbon System Group meeting (17.02., 13-15:00h, BCCR undervisningsrom in the 4th floor) focused on dialogue and strengthening cooperation within the group. We would like to: discuss the strategy currently being developed at the Bjerknes Centre and openly discuss concerns related to this strategy explore new meeting formats that are more interactive, better connected to ongoing activities, and supportive of collaboration and networking Inspire cooperation by inviting 10 people (chosen alphabetically on the group list - you will receive an additional email if you are among the chosen ones) to give a very short presentation (2–3 slides, 3–5 minutes) addressing: What you will work on in the next 12 months What you would love to do scientifically if there were no constraints What kind of cooperation or expertise would help or be needed to make this scientific wish possible Our aim is to find a way of meeting that is useful, engaging, and relevant to you, and that helps us stay up to date while strengthening scientific cooperation across the group. We very much hope you will join us for this session and contribute to shaping both the strategy discussion and a meeting format that works well for the Carbon System Group. If you have thoughts or wishes regarding the meeting format or topics you would like to see addressed, feel free to share them with us. All the best Nadine and Are

BCCR X-theme Seminar: AMOC

Dear all, The AMOC is a heavily discussed topic in the Climate Research Community. Even though it is perceived as a conveyor belt, which would imply a fully closed and coherent system, there is growing discussion suggesting a more intricate and dynamically variable structure. Hence, we are delighted to announce our monthly BCCR X-Theme seminar next week on Monday, February 2nd, at 11:00, with the title “AMOC”, presented by Marius Årthun, Malte Jürchott and Martin Miles. Marius Årthun will present "Status observations and projections”. Malte Jürchott will present “Analysing tipping dynamics of the AMOC in NorESM2 - current status and future plans”. Martin Miles will present “Impacts of AMOC collapse”. Following the three presentations, a general discussion about the topic will take place. We hope to see you there! Best regards, Fiona and Johannes
