This study paves the way for deeper insights on the causality and co-occurrence of climate change at short timescales, utilizing their intricate combination of statistical and dynamical methods. We are excited to see more studies like this in the future, though definitely not more heatwaves!

With a novel integration of statistical methods, the authors established both co-variability and causality of the compound influence of atmospheric blocking, exceptional sunshine duration, depleted soil moisture, and elevated nighttime temperatures, in driving this extreme event. 🧵

This study, authored by Dr. @moniionita.bsky.social and Dr. Viorica Nagavciuc from Paleodyn, Dr. Petru Vaideanu from University of Suceava, and Denis Nichita from University of Bucharest, emphasize the increasing vulnerability of Eastern Europe to extreme heat events 🧵

We are excited to follow our first expedition and invite you to do so with us here at our profile, at @i2b-erc.bsky.social, and at the blog (arcg.is/0favaf0). Safe travels and stay tuned!!

Our PaleoDyn member, @alexgag11.bsky.social is going to be onboard of the Norwegian RV Kronprins Haakon and we will bring updates here on the expedition through his unique viewpoint. Fun fact? He has already spotted the RV Polarstern around Longyearbyen.

This study represents a major milestone in for the next generation of storm-resolving global climate models and addresses near-surface processes and modes of variability in outstanding detail. We invite you all to read this amazing work, published in Earth System Dynamics.

The simulations were able to resolve climate with local granularity, particularly mesoscale activity. Additionally, the time-slice/transient protocol introduces a significant reduction in computational cost and memory footprint in comparison to regular transient simulations.

The authors used the AWI inhouse developed model, AWI-CM3, with an iterative methodology to assess the sensitivity of future climate change projections to ultra-high resolution. The insights gained more than justified the substantial investment in both human and technical resources.

If you want to know more about climate extremes' research in PaleoDyn's group, freel free to follow us and Alessandro's profiles here on bluesky - @alexgag11.bsky.social. There is more interesting research coming up!

The question still remains regarding future climate change, as model results disagree on the ENSO response to anthropogenic forcing in the near- to long-term future. However, this article already gives us essential clues on how MHV events can be affected and the global ecological consequences of it!

The #ENSO influence on #MHVs still challenges the scientific community. The study, led by Jakob Gunnarson from the University of Hawaii, focuses on MHVs since 1960 and reveals that the El Niño event of 2023-2024 significantly contributed to the record-setting MHWs that occurred during this period.

Furthermore, Yugeng has explored LGM deep water formation focusing on the importance of tidal mixing to the AMOC strength in his publication to the Climate of the Past journal last year. We recommend you also to read this paper!

This work features a collaboration with Paleodyn scientists Dr. Pengyang Song and Dr. Gerrit Lohmann, and Dr. Xianyao Chen from Ocean University of China.

🧵(4/5)

The authors uses our FESOM2 model with tidal mixing parameterization to derive present-day and LGM quasi-equilibrium simulations. They focus on the Atlantic to derive their analyses and find that sea ice production and mixing rates play an essetial role in AABW strenghtening during LGM!

The AABW is essential for the global ocean ventilation as it travels from the bottom of the Southern Ocean to the other ocean basins! During LGM, its formation is deemed to be amplified, even though the magnitude and mechanisms driving AABW strengthrening are under debate.

We invite you to his oral presentation to session CL4.9 on Friday, 02 May, at 10:45 in room 0.49/50!
