Seminar/WS on abrupt climate change

Tidspunkt

04. juni 2024, 06:00-14:00

Sted

Bjerknes lecture room (4th floor, room 4020)

Dear All,

In collaboration with BCCR global and polar theams and in association with the ABRUPT project meeting taking place first week of June, we would like to invite all intrested to a seminar/WS on abrupt climate change, with a particular focus on Dansgaard-Oechger events, June 4th, in the seminar room at the 4th floor of the west wing (Jahnebakken 5 in  U-4020). We plan to provide lunch.

If you are intrested, please let me know by signing up before 3 May (https://forms.office.com/e/39KQVEsrFa), and save the day. More details on how we organize the day will follow when we have an idea about the intrest.

This will be a good opertunity to get an overview of relevant activities going on within BCCR and for members of the community to meet and interact with the project participants coming to Bergen. It would also be great to get a reminder of relevant important work that has come out from our community over the last years. 

Cheers,

Bjørg

Monday Seminar: Data-driven Science: From Global Compound Ocean State Change to South Atlantic Water-Masses Responses

Speaker: Zhetao Tan from the Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique, École Normale Supérieure (LMD/ENS). Abstract Global climate change has triggered widespread shifts in the ocean’s physical and biogeochemical state. The essential ocean variables (EOVs), such as temperature, salinity, oxygen, and pH, known as climatic impact-drivers (CIDs), provide critical risk information for climate impacts across ocean sectors. Yet, a global three-dimensional view of long-term compound changes and their underlying physical processes remains limited, largely due to limitations in data availability (e.g., data quality, data coverage, and data processing techniques). This presentation will first introduce recent advances in observational data processing techniques developed by the speaker and his collaborators over the past five years, including improved quality control, systematic bias correction, and spatial mapping. Using these state-of-the-art in-situ and gridded products based on the advanced data processing techniques, the presentation will show the examination of long-term compound CIDs in the global scale (put temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and pH together in the same framework), identify the climate hotspots of the above concurrent change, and assess when and how these compound signals emerge. Results reveal a large-scale and deep-reaching compound ocean state change triggered by global warming, most prominently in the Atlantic Ocean. Finally, as a region study to understand the physical processes of the above compound climate change, the presentation will report recent findings that the South Atlantic upper-ocean water masses are responding to compound climate change over the past 45 years through distinct but connected processes: Air-sea surface-driven exchanges dominate the long-term warming and salinization changes in the Surface Water (SW), vertical displacement shapes the changes in the volume-expanded South Atlantic Central Water (SACW), and advective anthropogenic heat redistribution governs the warming and thinning changes in the core Antarctic Intermediated Water (AAIW). Speaker information Dr. Zhetao Tan is a post-doc fellow at the Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique, École Normale Supérieure (LMD/ENS), working on the OCEAN:ICE project funded by Horizon Europe. His research interests include physical oceanography, operational oceanography, and ocean climate change impact, with a particular focus on ocean observations and data quality improvements, water mass and ocean circulation, ocean compound climate change. Particularly, he mainly focused on the study of ‘climate impact-drivers’ (e.g., temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen etc.) which connect physical ocean changes to broader climate impacts. He hold his Ph.D from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IAP/CAS) in 2024. He is also a member of the International Quality Controlled Ocean Database (IQuOD), and the SOOP-XBT data management team (XBT-DMT).

Lansering: Nytt kunnskapsgrunnlag klart for klima i Norge

Mandag 27. oktober kl. 11–12 presenterer Norsk klimaservicesenter den ferskeste kunnskapen som viser hvordan stadig økende temperatur endrer Norge. Dette gjør at vi må tilpasse oss for å minimere risiko og sikre liv og verdier.
