Abstract: There has been considerable work looking at the Nordic Seas in terms of the large-scale patterns of water masses, currents, and atmospheric forcing that define their average properties and seasonal cycle. Recent measurements taken in November 2023 highlight the role that small-scale, nonlinear subduction stirring and mixing can also play in setting intricate patterns in the upper ocean. Here we'll present observations taken near Jan Mayen over the last few weeks and some preliminary analysis of what our findings mean for both present and future climates.
What is the Joint Oslo Seminar (JOS):
- Atmospheric and climate sciences have a stronghold in Oslo among the four institutions University of Oslo, the Meteorological Institute, CICERO and NILU.
- This joint seminar invites renowned international experts to contribute to an informal series of lectures, meant to create interaction with the Oslo atmospheric and climate science community on recent highlights and analysis in the field.
- Normally seminars will be held on Thursdays (12:15 pm -1pm).
