Understanding climate for the benefit of society. BCCR is a collaboration on climate research between the University of Bergen, NORCE, The Norwegian Institute of Marine Research and Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center.
Ecosystem gas fluxes are crucial to water and energy cycling. Fluxes are measured in closed-loop chambers. But how do you deal with the data? An R package by @jogaudard.bsky.social from @unibergen.bsky.social and Bjerknes simplifies processing and comparison. Check it out! 🧪 doi.org/10.1111/2041...

Currently a large outbreak of cold, Arctic air is making its way south over the Norwegian Sea. The amazing mesh structure (called open-cell convection) in the satellite image (coloured image) is really hard for weather forecast models (grey image) to get 'right' @bjerknes.uib.no #ISOSCAN_project
