Checkout the latest release of our #Lagrangian #Python software @clouddrift.bsky.social 👇It's officially Hurricane season and the historical tracks of tropical cyclones are readily available from the clouddrift data library.
With the start of the Atlantic hurricane season and the release of CloudDrift v0.45.0 (lnkd.in/g8864hXD), I want to highlight the hurricane and cyclone datasets already accessible with CloudDrift.
New paper alert led by Tyllis Petit! Mooring observations are crucial for obtaining the long-term trend of the #AMOC. See "Evaluation of a Reduced RAPID Array for Measuring the AMOC" in @jgroceans.bsky.social agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Hey oceanographers! Are you sometimes getting confused when you read or write about errors, uncertainty, biases and the likes? No worries, we got you, the @usclivar.bsky.social #OceanUQ working group has produced a handy #glossary, check it out at oceanuq.org/learn/glossary

In the end, the Gulf Stream is *not* slowing down and the #AMOC ... just marginally. That's fascinating and relevant for climate modeling and the current and future needs for ocean observing!

Love this address. Yep, you don’t have to have a “passion” for what you do, like oceanography or climate, just like what you do, that’s plenty enough. And don’t let anybody make you feel less because of that youtube.com/watch?v=76QV...

Could you add Miami to the global map? Also, do you share the code to generate this figure?
