Next frankly astonishing study ( because I'd never thought about it before), reconstruction of during the last glacial found
"open ocean tidal energy was probably increased for most of this period, peaking during glacial maxima, and returning to near-present-day values during interglacials. Due to tidal resonance during glacial phases, small changes in bathymetry could have caused large changes in tidal amplitudes and dissipation"
Seriously check it out #SeaLevelRise
And then on to a study of #GlobalWarming rates:
"the surface temperature increase through the recent La Nina influenced years (2022) is consistent with the 50-year trend of 0.18 °C/decade. ... However, we also find clear indications, in all observational series, of a step-up in warming rate since around 1990. CMIP6 models generally do not capture this observed combination of long-term warming rate and recent increase."
A (little) more light-hearted: Korean culture is hit right now and at the Venice Biënnale the Korean pavilion was a hit withthe game of together how, looking at how individual choices make a #ClimateChange impact.
I haven't played it,but it looks interesting...
Take a look at some of the real life characters they include (!)
And one for the #OpenScience community. 11 training strategies to make open reproducible #Science the norm..
I have to think hard about this to, because when it comes to #FAIRdata, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. At a recent ESA event I was challenged: how many #ClimateModels are fully #OA#OpenSource?
It's a good question. I have no idea. But it needs to be the way we do things. Worth a look...
"While some changes in extremes are to be expected and are clearly attributable to rising greenhouse gas emissions, other seem counterintuitive, highlighting the need for further research in the field. In this context, research on changes in atmospheric dynamics plays a crucial role in explaining some of these extremes"
Another recent #ClimateChange paper, this time looking at the #Ocean
To some extent, global warming is really "ocean warming"
"ocean heat uptake has accelerated dramatically since the 1990s, nearly doubling during 2010–2020 relative to 1990–2000. Of the total ocean heat uptake over the Argo era 2005–2020, about 89% can be found in global mode and intermediate water layers, spanning both hemispheres and both subtropical and subpolar mode waters."
We are going through the bounty and diversity of this planet in full knowledge of our actions - we see it all happen from #Space.
But #RemoteSensing can also play a role in enforcement #ParisAgreement. A call to arms:
" EO science must undergo a radical overhaul: it must become more user-oriented, collaborative, and transdisciplinary; span the range from fiducial to contextual data; and embrace new technologies for data analysis (e.g., artificial intelligence)."
