🚨 New paper alert! ☁️

We define a diagnostic of convective entrainment in GCMs and investigate how this diagnosed value is connected to CAPE extremes and moist heatwaves in the tropics.

You can find our paper in WCD, co-written with Marty Singh.

Entrainment and the tropical tropospheric thermal structure in global climate models
Abstract. The observed relationship between stability and humidity in the tropical troposphere has been argued to be strongly influenced by moist convective entrainment (Palmer and Singh, 2024). In th...

🚨New paper on heatwaves in a net zero world 🚨

In our study, led by @sarahinscience.bsky.social, we find that the intensity, length and frequency of heatwaves do not return to pre-industrial levels under net zero - and in many regions barely improve at all.

🚨New paper on Southern Ocean CO2🚨
Using a suite of Earth system models, Maddie Shankle et al show that better ventilation of intermediate waters in the North Pacific ends up reducing outgassing of CO2 in the Southern Ocean 🌊🧪⚒️🧵 @earthscista.bsky.social

A better-ventilated North Pacific could have reduced the carbon of water upwelled in the Southern Ocean, reducing outgassing and revealing a remote influence on Southern Ocean biogeochemistry in glaci...

Meet the motley crew of the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences – ready to kick off the new academic year! 🌍👋

Special mention to our Head of School, Prof. Rob Wilson, who is cleverly disguised a a responsible adult (the T-shirt says it all) 😅🤦‍♂

Circulation and Cloud Responses to Patterned SST Warming
