Seminar: Current Trends of Oceanic Variability in Regional Simulation Of The Greater Agulhas Current System & Projected Changes In Climate Models

Tidspunkt

25. oktober 2024, 11:15-12:00

Sted

Bjerknes lecture room (4th floor, room 4020)

Dear all,

This Friday at 13:15-14:00 Dr. Issufo Halo, one of this years Bjerknes Visting Fellows, will give a seminar.

Dr Issufo Halo is visiting from 22. October to 2. November. He is a scientist based at DFFE (Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment, Cape Town, South Africa), his scientific expertise focuses on ocean dynamics in the greater Agulhas Current system and with specialisation on interaction between large-scale currents and mesoscale processes.

The overall goal of the visit is to establish future scientific research collaboration between scientists from the Bjerknes Centre and the South African Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environmental, to foster a better understanding of the ocean dynamics in the Agulhas Current system, and address questions of future climate projections in the region.

If you want to meet him while he is visiting, please contact Annette Samuelsen (annette.samuelsen@nersc.no).

BCCR seminar: Observational and Modeling Studies of the Atmosphere from Antarctica, to the Arctic, and to Norway

Abstract This presentation will highlight current and past projects studying the atmosphere in the Antarctic and the Arctic. The Antarctic is a focus on observational studies with an emphasis on a recent project involving the collection of year-round observations of precipitation at remote locations of Antarctica. The studies of the Arctic are concentrated on the application of the Regional Arctic System Model for regional climate studies. These projects serve as the backdrop for a Fulbright Visit Scholar award to work with scientists at NORCE and UiB for spring 2026. The presentation will close out with a preview of the work to be completed during the visit with a study on extremes of temperature and precipitation. Speaker information Mark Seefeldt is a Research Scientist at the National Snow Ice and Data Center (NSIDC) at the University of Colorado Boulder. His research encompasses applied meteorology and climatology projects spanning the Antarctic and the Arctic. Current research projects include: the in situ measurement of precipitation at remote sites in Antarctica and regional climate modeling studies of the Arctic using the Regional Arctic System Model (RASM) of the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) models. He has had eight field seasons in the Antarctic and one in the Arctic. Mark is visiting NORCE and UiB this spring as a Fulbright Scholar.
