Got bored tonight, so I downloaded 3 hours worth of Earthcam replay / archive footage from their Skydeck camera atop of the Willis Tower (Sears Tower) in Chicago and made a time lapse of the fog rolling in off Lake Michigan. Good illustration of how our atmosphere behaves like any other fluid. #ilwx
One more thing. There is no registration fee, but attendees will be expected to cover their own travel and accommodation costs. [4/3] 🧵🌊
If this sounds like your kind of meeting, send an email to goccmeeting@gmail.com to express interest [3/3] 🧵🌊
We are bringing together researchers who explore ocean circulations and connectivity on a global scale. Oceanographers are invited to discuss observational strategies, modelling approaches, theories, and climate projections which advance our understanding of the global ocean network. [2/3] 🧵 🌊

Calling all oceanographers who like to think BIG 🌊🌍🌎🌏.
I am excited to announce the very first Global Ocean Circulation and Connectivity (GOCC) meeting. The meeting will take place on Monday 7th September 2026 (the same week as the Challenger 2026 conference) at Bangor University.

Greenland’s glaciers are losing ice at an unprecedented pace 🇬🇱
The bad news: vast quantities of freshwater entering the North Atlantic could disrupt major ocean currents - changing ocean ecosystems and European climate.
The good news: this GIANT collaboration is getting to the bottom of it, fast ⬇
Starting #OSM26 with a session on Atlantic Ocean connectivity.
At the tail end of this session (09:43) I will be demonstrating how adjoint models can accurately quantify the drivers of basin-wide geostrophic transport in the Atlantic 🌊

I will be in Southampton for most of the day, so let me know if you would like to chat about all things Oceanography!
I will
Lalso be in Oxford on Wednesday and Thursday this week.
🌊
I'm on my way to NOC, Southampton this morning. I'll be giving a seminar on the drivers of basin-wide geostrophic transport in the Atlantic (11:00).
Using ECCO and adjoint modelling, we have isolated the fundamental forces and timescales behind geostrophic transport variability in the Atlantic.
🌊
If anybody is interested in (or knows someone interested in) doing a postdoc at Oxford on topics aligned with marine connectivity or oceanic forcing of coral reefs, I'm happy to discuss ideas and funding routes. One option is the 1851 Royal Commission fellowships (3 years, deadline Jan 2026)!
On top of that a surprisingly smooth journey from Cambridge to Liverpool via York. Far less stressful than the usual route via London.
Looking forward to the Ocean Modelling SIG meeting which starts today at Liverpool. Always a highlight of my year!
Excited to share new research in the Journal of Geophysical Research:Oceans with @andyhogg.bsky.social, @navidcy.bsky.social, Ryan Holmes, and @hemant-khatri.bsky.social on how the North Atlantic Oscillation impacts the basin's subtropical and subpolar gyres: doi.org/10.1029/2024... 🌊
A transport anomaly timeseries. The blue line represents the meridional transport anomaly at latitudes surrounding the RAPID array (26.5 deg N) over a fixed depth range (1000-3000 m). The black line is the estimate of the same transport derived from boundary pressures only. The red line is our reconstruction of the boundary pressure component using adjoint sensitivities. The three lines have very similar variability.
Today at #EGU25 I will be sharing a unique perspective on Atlantic variabilty. Boundary pressures can describe 90% of the basin-wide variability in transport.
Using an adjoint model, I will reveal the drivers of this essential component of variabilty
