The 'breathing' of the Arctic. The change in sea ice extent and thickness from a FESOM model simulation created by Sophie Stolzenberger from the @GROCE79N project. Let's hope the 2019 sea ice extent doesn't break the record low of 2012.

However, the AI-based models tend to #drift towards known conditions from the training data set, as seen in this "hairy plot" of global-mean 2m temperature. Individual hairs are daily forecasts from 12:00 UTC. The future state is from IFS-FESOM in the H2020 project nextGEMS nextgems-h2020.eu

Sophie researches how melt water influences the ocean circulation. And also how model resolution effects the results. Using the unstructured grid with FESOM allows finer resolution around Greenland while still running at a global scale

… and (iv) eddy-resolving features in large parts of the mid- and high-latitude oceans (finer than 5 km grid spacing) to resolve mesoscale #eddies and sea ice leads.

Compare the map of eddy variability (std of sea surface height) in the model and #AVISO:

Earth’s surface painted with 2m temperature. 🧪

Contrasts in temperature between the ocean and land, as well as between different orographic features, allow you to clearly see surface details.

Hey Marcus!

I use some models & tools with Fortran (ICON, mHM, IFS, FESOM) but I work running these tools with workflow managers (mainly Python with some C/Cython 🙂)

I haven't worked with this tool you mentioned yet. I will ask around to see if someone in Earth Sciences (my dept) knows it. Thanks!

Wind over the Atlantic from a 5 km resolution model. Different surface types interact with wind in unique ways, which is why the continents are distinctly visible in the wind field. 🧪

We offer regional process descriptions, in the paper for the North Atlantic. In the supplement for North Pacific, tropics/subtropics and Southern Ocean.

Thank you for funding!

We also provide first examples of significant advances in the realism and thus opportunities of these km-scale simulations, such as (i) a clear imprint of resolved #Arctic sea ice leads on atmospheric temperature; (5/n)

Alisa has been working on the South Atlantic transsect now, and comparing Argo data with FESOM model output. As expected, the Argo data show more variations (at a recorder locations), but we can also spot biases which we're now investigating.

Our model now has carbon isotopes and you can read about it in GMD

We found that warming and terrigenous inputs weaken the biological carbon pump and the 🌊 Arctic Ocean's carbon sink, mainly through intensified remineralization, regardless of emission scenarios.

New paper accepted! Q: So can we see the effect of Greenland melting with Argo floats and altimetry? And what role does model resolution play?
Sophie Stolzenberger used the AWI FESOM model to figure this out.

This is the first study where the model configuration & quality of IFS-FESOM simulations have been described. It thus represents a significant milestone in terms of both documentation of this novel model capability and the scientific readiness of the coupled modelling system. (8/n)

Sophie used FESOM in a high and low resolution configuration forced with and without meltwater. In the high resolution version the effect of adding melt water is expected in the Baffin Bay (upper 100m salinity change), but also in temperature anomalies south of Greenland.

Increased sunlight and more nutrients in the Arctic Ocean won’t boost carbon storage as expected :(

🌊 New insights into Arctic atlantification! 🌡️ 🧪

A new study in Science Advances reveals that sea ice decline, driven by climate warming, is the dominant driver behind the warming and salinity increase in the Eurasian Basin during the 2010s.
