The AOMIP approach has been to leverage the existing financial support of each project participant for a comparative analysis of differen t models and scientific results. This approach has provided a unique oppor tunity to coordinate studies nationally and internationally via a set of c arefully-planned numerical experiments covering the most important process es and interactions.  A clear advantage is that each participant is able t o work with her/his specific research theme using simulation results from more than a single model and to analyze differences and test hypotheses us ing a multi-model suite of outputs.  The result is a synthesis that integr ates observational and modeling efforts toward the overall goal of develop ing advanced Arctic models able to accurately reconstruct past\, describe current\, and predict future Arctic conditions. In this regard\, FAMOS’s a pproach will be similar AOMIP’s one and we view FAMOS as a “collaboratory” i.e.\, a collaborative frame-work wherein modelers and observers discuss results\, problems\, and new ideas\, all with the goals of model improvement and better understanding of the Arctic climate system.\n\nPart icipants include several speakers from MIT and WHOI.\n\nMore information here and here.

The phytoplankton that mediate CO2 upta ke in the marine biosphere are tremendously diverse\, non-homogeneously di stributed and oftentimes physiologically ill-characterized. Additionally\, they live among non-photosynthetic microbes from the three domains of lif e – creating a complex network of chemical exchanges and physical interact ions. Microbial oceanographers frequently employ genome and environmental sequence analyses to tackle these topics\, and yet many genes and features of genomes expressed in nature are of unknown function. By investigating this material in the lab and field we are discovering key\, previously uni dentified environmental controls and responses of phytoplankton as well as distributional information. Here\, we will explore phytoplankton diversit y and factors for bloom development at three levels of granularity – basic growth requirements in the context of microbial networks (in this case vi tamins)\, evolutionary divergence (in connection to nutrient limitation)\, and population connectivity through deep ocean currents (using repetitive \, gene-interrupting sequences). Through iterative modeling\, lab\, and fi eld experiments it should be possible to test and integrate ecologically r elevant levels of microbial diversity to understand primary production in transitioning ecosystems.

In this talk\, we offer an overview of research carried out at the Oceanographic Institute of the University of São Paulo (IOUSP) on this current system's pattern\, water m asses and mesoscale variability. By blending small quasi-synoptic data set s\, mooring data and simple process-oriented modeling\, we propose an exte nsion of the seminal work by Henry Stommel (1965). The BC system is descri bed from its site of origin (~15S) to where its starts to separate from th e continental margin\, south of 35S.

Exchanges across the AS F transport CDW toward marine-terminating glaciers\, and export Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) to the abyssal ocean. Recent studies indicate that thi s exchange may be modulated by mesoscale eddies\, which facilitate cross-s lope exchanges via stirring along isopycnals and eddy bolus transports. In this seminar I will discuss physical controls over the rates of cross-slo pe water mass exchange\, and examine the dynamical balances governing cros s-slope eddy transfer. \n\nI will first present a recently-developed eddy- resolving process model of the Antarctic continental shelf and slope. The model enforces realistic offshore ocean stratification over idealized shel f/slope bathymetry\, in order to provide a realistic representation of the water masses in a configuration that can be analyzed cleanly. The model f orcing includes a westward wind stress over the continental slope and buoy ancy loss on the continental shelf\, consistent with prevailing Antarctic easterly winds and brine rejection in coastal polynyas.\n\nI will use this model to explore the sources of eddy kinetic energy (EKE) over the contin ental slope\, and its resulting impact on the cross-slope transport of mas s and tracers. I will show that the upper-ocean dynamics resemble the Anta rctic Circumpolar Current\, with wind-driven northward shoaling of the pyc nocline resisted by baroclinic conversion of potential energy to EKE. By c ontrast\, close to the ocean bed (at the CDW/AABW interface) potential ene rgy is removed by both the wind-driven mean overturning and the generation of baroclinic eddies\, and is instead sourced from the buoyancy loss on t he continental shelf. This EKE source turns out to be sensitive to variati ons in the model surface forcing and bathymetry. Consequently\, relatively small changes in the forcing and geometry can produce a substantial rearr angement of the water mass pathways and volume transports across the conti nental slope. These findings suggest that shoreward eddy transport of CDW should be localized to a few favorable locations around the Antarctic shel f break\, and that future changes in the easterly wind strength or coastal polynya productivity could significantly alter the shoreward heat transpo rt and the properties of the outflowing AABW.

Its loss via two ana erobic microbial processes – anammox and denitrification – only occurs whe re oxygen is sufficiently depleted. Field experiments in the tropical Paci fic oxygen minimum zone resolve two long-standing debates critical to unde rstanding global climate. While very low oxygen concentrations are require d for fixed nitrogen loss by either anammox or denitrification\, organic m atter quantity and quality determine the magnitudes of these rates and the partitioning between the two pathways. Dissolved oxygen concentrations al so decouple the denitrification steps\, allowing for net production of nit rous oxide and accentuating the importance of the oxygen and nitrogen cycl es in regulating climate.

Perturbatio n experiments are conducted in which a pattern of anomalous heat flux corr esponding to the NAO is added to the model ocean\; in companion experiment s no such flux is added. Differences between the experiments illustrate ho w the model ocean and climate system respond to the NAO. A positive phase of the NAO tends to strengthen the AMOC by extracting heat from the subpol ar gyre\, thereby increasing deepwater formation\, horizontal density grad ients\, and the AMOC. The flux forcings have the spatial structure of the observed NAO\, but the amplitude of the forcing varies sinusoidally in tim e with distinct periods varying from 2 to 200 years. The response of the A MOC to NAO variations is small at short time scales\, but increases up to the dominant time scale of internal AMOC variability (20-30 years for the models used). The amplitude of the response of the AMOC\, and associated o ceanic heat transport\, is approximately constant as the timescale of the forcing is increased further. In contrast\, the response of other properti es\, such as hemispheric surface air temperature or Arctic sea ice\, conti nues to increase as the time scale of the forcing becomes progressively lo nger. The larger response of temperature and sea ice at progressively long er time scales is associated with an increased impact of radiative feedbac k processes. The impact of the NAO-induced AMOC variations extends to the Southern Ocean as well\, inducing variations in surface and interior ocean properties. This relationship results in some skill in decadal prediction of aspects of the Southern Ocean.

Marine a nd terrestrial records indicate that the amount of CO2 stored in the deep sea is greater during glacial periods than interglacial periods. The impli ed net transfer of carbon into and out of the ocean is likely the result o f changes in ocean circulation and/or the efficiency of the biologic pump. The resulting atmospheric CO2 fluctuations may play some role in amplifyi ng temperature shifts across ice age cycles. In this study\, we reconstruc t past variations in seawater carbonate ion concentration in order to gain insight into the relative roles of different oceanic CO2 storage mechanis ms and to place constraints on the timing\, magnitude\, and location of su bsequent deep ocean ventilation. Our reconstruction is based on the trace element and stable isotopic composition of calcite shells of the epi-benth ic foraminifer Cibicidoides wuellerstorfi from a sediment core in New Zeal and's Bay of Plenty. The sediment core site (1\,627 m water depth) lies wi thin the upper limit of modern Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW)\, ~500 m below the local Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW) salinity minimum. A record of ΔCO32- derived from the foraminiferal boron to calcium ratio (B/Ca) pro vides evidence for greater ice-age storage of respired CO2 and also reveal s abrupt deglacial shifts in inorganic carbon chemistry up to 30 µmol/kg ( 5 times larger than the difference between average LGM and Holocene values ). The rapidity of these deglacial changes in the ocean interior suggests 1) fluctuations in the intermediate-deep water boundary near the core site \, and/or 2) rapid changes in deep water composition. Additional records a re currently being reconstructed to probe these possibilities.

In many flows the intrinsic symmetries create invariant surfaces that act as barriers to cha otic advection and mixing. Thus\, a key to efficient mixing is to add to t he original (symmetric) flow a certain kind of perturbation that destroys those symmetries. In the present talk we discuss a quantitative long-time theory of mixing due to the presence of resonances in 3-D near-integrable Stokes flows. The resonance phenomena\, such as scattering on resonance\, capture into resonance\, and separatrix crossings\, involving different co mponents of the original flow and the perturbation may destroy the invaria nt surfaces\, paving a way to the large-scale mixing in a big fraction of the fluid flow. We explain the extend and the rate of mixing in terms of t he evolution of the adiabatic invariants of the system. We show that when the leading phenomenon is scattering on resonances or separatrix crossings \, the resulting mixing can be described in terms of a single 1-D diffusio n-type equation\, with parameters of the diffusion equation defined by the averaged statistics of a single passage through resonance or separatrix.

The experimental setup is motivated by the continental shelf of the West Anta rctica Peninsula. Numerical experiments are performed to study how the wid th and slope of an idealized continental shelf topography affect the chara cteristics of the flow. The main focus is on the regime where the shelf br eak width is slightly greater than the eddy scale. In this regime\, a stro ng baroclinic jet develops on the shelf break due to the locally stabilizi ng effect of the topographic slope. The velocity of this jet is set at fi rst order by the gradient of the background barotropic geostrophic contour s\, which is dominated by the slope of the topography. At statistical equi librium\, an aperiodic cycle is observed. Initially\, over a long stable p eriod\, an upper-layer jet develops over the shelf break. Once the vertica l shear reaches the critical condition for baroclinic instability\, the je t becomes unstable and drifts away from the shelf break. The cross-shelf m ixing is intrinsically linked with the jet drifting\, as most of the merid ional flux occurs during this instability period. Investigation of the zon al momentum budget reveals that a strong Reynolds stress divergence invers ion across the jet is associated with a drifting event\, accelerating one flank of the jet and decelerating the other. The hypothesis that jet drift ing may be due to one flank of the jet being more baroclinically unstable than the other\, is tested using topographic profiles with variable curvat ures.

Interpreting these observations will be a grand challenge\, because the diversity of rocky planet climates is likely to b e enormous. Here I discuss the role that theory and idealized modeling can play in advancing our understanding of the possibilities. I present resul ts on two key problems in exoplanet climate evolution: the loss of a plane t’s water to space and the circulation (and possible nightside collapse) o f atmospheres on tidally locked planets. I show that in both cases\, scali ng analysis allows the fundamentals of the problem to be understood in a r obust and general way. I discuss the implications of these results for exo planet habitability and the future search for biosignatures by groundand s pacebased telescopes.

We used these simple observations to explore a new proxy for reconstr ucting past ice sheet variability- the 10Be concentration of sand in marin e sediments adjacent to glaciated continents\, which should reflect the ex posure and erosion history on land before the sediment was deposited in th e deep sea. \nThis talk will present cosmogenic nuclide records from two O cean Drilling Program cores off east Greenland and the ANDRILL-1B core nex t to the East Antarctic Ice Sheet spanning the past 8 Myr\, as well as 10B e measurements on contemporary sediments emanating from the southern Green land Ice Sheet today. Notable features of the Greenland record include a 5 0-fold long-term decline in 10Be concentration reflecting late Cenozoic ic e-sheet growth\, pronounced 10Be dips coincident with major ice-rafted deb ris pulses\, considerable variability during the early Pleistocene\, and l ow concentrations indistinguishable from contemporary sediments throughout the past 1 Myr. The Antarctic record\, on the other hand\, exhibits very low 10Be concentrations over its entire length\, suggesting little to no s ubaerial exposure of land where the sediment was sourced from during the p ast 8 Myr.

To overcome aspects of this limitation\, we develop ed the FlowCytobot series of automated submersible flow cytometers capable of rapid\, unattended analysis of individual plankton cells for long peri ods of time. FlowCytobot and Imaging FlowCytobot use a combination of lase r-based scattering and fluorescence measurements and video imaging of indi vidual particles to enumerate and characterize cells ranging from picocyan obacteria to chaining-forming diatoms. When combined with automated proces sing and image classification\, these observations make it possible to cha racterize taxonomic composition of plankton communities with unprecedented temporal resolution\, ranging from hours to years. Multi-year time series from FlowCytobot and Imaging FlowCytobot are now being used to study bloo m dynamics and community structure in US coastal waters. The high temporal resolution observations of single cell properties make it possible not on ly to characterize taxonomic composition and size structure\, but also to quantify taxon-specific growth rates. Emerging results provide a wide rang e of insights including links between climate factors and interannual vari ability in seasonal blooms\, decadal-scale shifts in community composition \, ecologically important roles for taxon-specific parasites\, and detecti on and characterization of harmful algal blooms.

They are the gateways for im porting oceanic heat to melt ice and for exporting meltwater into the ocea n. Submarine melting in fjords has been implicated as a driver of dynamic glacier changes in the past several decades. However\, there are no direct measurements of this melting\, and little is known about the fjord proces ses that modulate melt rates and export meltwater. Here\, we explore the d rivers of fjord circulation and heat transport in Sermilik Fjord\, near th e terminus of Helheim Glacier. We investigate the competing roles of buoya ncy forcing from the glacier and remote forcing from the shelf. Building o n estuarine studies of salt fluxes\, we assess the fluxes of heat and salt through the fjord and develop a new framework for inferring submarine mel t rates from glacial fjord budgets.

This stratified di urnal warm layer traps momentum from the wind near the surface\, generatin g shear across the layer. Horizontal advection associated with this diurna l warm layer shear is likely responsible for observed nearsurface fresheni ng in the upper meter of the ocean during the SPURSI field campaign.\n\nTh is shear associated with the diurnal warm layer\, a fractional depth of th e deeper mixed\nlayer\, horizontally displaces water near the surface duri ng the daytime converting horizontal gradients into vertical ones. At nigh t\, convection vertically mixes the horizontally displaced water throughou t the deeper mixed layer. This cycle of advection and then vertical mixing is a mechanism for effective submesoscale lateral diffusion on the scale of 110 km. We will discuss a simplified representation of the mechanism\, and estimates of effective submesoscale horizontal diffusivity for the mix ed layer. The calculated effective diffusivity associated with this mechan ism is 1100 m2/s\, depending on the advective timescale\, and depth and sp eed of the diurnal warm layer current.\n\nThe importance of the daily cycl e as a mechanism for smoothing lateral inhomogeneities within the mixed la yer will be considered. Additionally\, we examine how the advection associ ated with the diurnal warm layer may locally enhance or suppress the diurn al warming observed at a location. The frequency of occurrence of diurnal warm layers and global perspectives will be discussed.

The data suggest that northern s ourced waters dominated the water mass mixture during the LGM\, and that A AIW was shallower than ~850m. A d18O decrease early in Heinrich Stadial 1 (HS1) is attributed to the incorporation of deglacial meltwater into the n orthern sourced waters that continued to influence the site. Two interpret ations for the mid-to-late HS1 data will be discussed\, having opposite im plications for the vigor of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulatio n (AMOC) during this interval. After HS1\, the data conform to the consens us view of AMOC variability – increased AAIW presence during the Bolling-A llerod and the Holocene\, when the AMOC was strong\, and reduced AAIW pres ence during the Younger Dryas when the AMOC was weak.

Whether this role is important\, however\, depends on the strength of this mixing\ , which remains poorly qualified on global scale. To address this question \, a passive tracer was released upstream of the Drake Passage in 2009 as a part of the Diapycnal and Isopycnal Mixing Experiment in the Southern Oc ean (DIMES). While the mixing rates inferred from vertical dispersion of t he tracer are large and imply a key role played by mixing in setting the M OC\, those based on localized microstructure measurements seem to suggest otherwise. In this work we use a high resolution numerical model of the Dr ake Passage region\, sampled in the DIMES experiment and tuned to its obse rvations\, to explain that the difference between the two estimates arise from the large values of mixing encountered by the tracer when it flows cl ose to the bottom topography. We conclude that enhanced bottom mixing\, in combination with large lateral stirring and mixing by mesoscale eddies\, is sufficiently strong to play an important role in setting the Southern O cean branch of the MOC below 2 km.

The 20-year mean vertical heat flux shows strong variations both hor izontally and vertically\, consistent with the ocean being a dynamically a ctive and spatially complex heat exchanger. Between mixing and advection\, the two processes determining the vertical heat transport in the deep oce an\, advection plays a more important role in setting the spatial patterns of vertical heat exchange. The global integral of vertical heat flux show s an upward heat transport in the deep ocean\, suggesting an abyssal cooli ng trend over 1992-2011. \n\nThe bidecadal change of the ocean vertical h eat flux is also examined and provides dynamical insights into the global ocean heat content change. Preliminary results show that above 1500 m more heat is transported downward during 2002 2011 than 1992-2001. The spatial pattern of the vertical heat flux change shows consistent features with p revious studies\, such as more downward heat transport in the tropical Pac ific and the North Atlantic during the last decade.

Model ensembles proj ect that extratropical land temperature variability will decrease in the f uture\, consistent with simple physical arguments related to polar amplifi cation. However\, observational studies have thus far come to conflicting conclusions. Several analytical pitfalls in interpreting observational rec ords lead to these discrepancies\, and highlight the importance of account ing for non-normality and the effects of filtering\, time-averaging\, grid ding\, and smoothing. I will present a set of methods designed to overcome these challenges\, which I apply to a large set of daily temperature obse rvations to show that a decrease in temperature variability is already rob ustly detectable in the extratropics.

Consequently\, the Southern O cean is believed to be a hotspot for enhanced oceanic mixing. Previous wor k based on finestructure parameterizations has suggested that strong mixin g is also ubiquitous below the mixed layer. \n\nResults from a US/UK field program\, however\, showed that enhanced internal wave finestructure and turbulence levels are not widespread\, but limited to frontal zones where strong bottom currents collide with steep largeamplitude\ntopography. Dire ct measurements of turbulence showed that previous estimates of mixing rat es in the upper 1km are biased high by up to two orders of magnitude. Desp ite the prevalence of energetic wind events\, turbulence driven by downwar d propagating nearinertial wave shear is weak below the mixed layer. Ineff icient wind forcing at nearinertial frequencies and seasonally varying upp er ocean stratification likely contribute to the observed weak mixing rate s. Double diffusive processes and turbulence both contribute to buoyancy f lux\, elevating the effective mixing efficiency above the canonical value of 0.2 in the upper 1km. Ultimately\, this work informs largescale modelin g efforts through parameterizations of mixing processes in the highly unde rsampled Southern Ocean.

An increase in the efficiency of the biological pump has been hypothesized to contribute to higher ocean carbo n storage during glacial periods. Here we use a model of the ocean's bioge ochemical cycles that includes both carbon (13C) and nitrogen (15N) isotop es but no sediment interactions. We present results from one present day s imulation and six simulations of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM\, ~20 ka be fore the present). The LGM simulations are idealized sensitivity experimen ts that explore effects of changes in maximum phytoplankton growth rates ( mmax). Increasing mmax in the model leads to a more efficient biological p ump\, more carbon storage\, and lower d13CDIC and oxygen concentrations. T he resulting increase of denitrification stimulates additional nitrogen fi xation and increases the spatial variance of d15NNO3\, while decreasing th e ocean’s fixed nitrogen inventory. Increased nitrogen fixation lowers sur face d15NNO3 in most of the tropics. In the model’s Southern Ocean modest increases in mmax result in higher d15NNO3 due to enhanced local nutrient utilization\, consistent with reconstructions\, but larger mmax cause decl ining values there owing to the poleward transport of low tropical d15NNO3 . Comparison to reconstructions from LGM sediments indicates that models w ith moderately increased mmax (by 16 - 33 %) fit both isotope data best\, whereas large increases are inconsistent with nitrogen isotopes although t hey still fit the carbon isotopes reasonably well. The best fitting models reproduce major features of the glacial d13CDIC\, d15N\, and oxygen recon structions\, while simulating reduced carbon storage\, compared with the p re-industrial ocean\, due to lower preformed carbon concentrations. We con clude that the biological pump was more efficient during the LGM. However\ , sediment interactions and whole ocean alkalinity changes may be required to increase ocean carbon storage. Our analysis illustrates interactions b etween the carbon and nitrogen cycles as well as the complementary constra ints provided by their isotopes.

A 30-year integration (1978 to 2007) of th e NEMO model at 1o\, 1/4o and 1/12o is used to investigate the impact of m odelling choices associated with horizontal resolution. Changes in degrees of freedom associated with the increasing resolution allow alternative en ergy dissipation pathways and their impact is assessed.\n\nA distinct stre ngthening of the anti-clockwise component of the overturning is found in t he Southern Ocean\, primarily owing to the baroclinic component. The mixed layer does not change significantly with resolution\, with results compar able to observations. Minor changes with resolution are attributed to incr eased numbers of fronts with better resolution. In the interior\, steric h eight variability\, specifically its covariance between the surface (2000m ) does change owing to eddy effects not captured by the Gent-McWilliams pa rametrization. Topographic interactions are assessed in terms of vortex st retching in the bottom pressure torque term. Major changes are found in th e baroclinic component in the Southern Ocean. Low resolution appears appro priate for fields such as the mixed layer depth\, but higher resolution is increasingly required for large scale features through allowing eddy acti vity.

T o that end we examine the relationship between SAM and SST within unforced preindustrial control simulations of coupled general circulation models ( GCMs) included in the Climate Modeling Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CM IP5). We develop a technique to extract the response of the Southern Ocean SST to a hypothetical step increase in the SAM index. We demonstrate that in many GCMs\, the expected SST step response function is nonmonotonic in time. Following a shift to a positive SAM anomaly\, an initial cooling re gime can transition into surface warming around Antarctica. However\, ther e are large differences across the CMIP5 ensemble. In some models the step response function never changes sign and cooling persists\, while in othe r GCMs the SST anomaly crosses over from negative to positive values only three years after a step increase in the SAM. This intermodel diversity ca n be related to differences in the models' climatological thermal ocean st ratification in the region of seasonal sea ice around Antarctica. Exploiti ng this relationship\, we use observational data for the time-mean meridio nal and vertical temperature gradients to constrain the real Southern Ocea n response to SAM on fast and slow timescales.

Flo ws are funneled through the channel and have tidal excursion lengths compa rable to the width of the ridge crest. Once per day\, energetic turbulence is observed in the channel\, with overturns spanning almost half of the f ull water depth. A high resolution\, nonhydrostatic\, 2.5-dimensional simu lation is used to interpret the observations in terms of the advection of a breaking tidal lee wave past the site location\, and subsequent developm ent of a hydraulic jump. During this phase of the tide the strong transpor ts were associated with full depth flows\, however\, during the weaker bea t of the tide transports were shallow and surface-confined\, generating ne gligible turbulence. A regional numerical model of the area finds that the subinertial K1 (diurnal) tidal constituent generates topographically trap ped waves which propagate anticyclonically around the ridge\, and are asso ciated with enhanced near-topographic K1 transports. The interaction of th e trapped waves with the M2 (semidiurnal) surface tide produces a baroclin ic tidal flow that is alternately surface confined and full depth. Consist ent with observations\, full depth flows are associated with the generatio n of a large amplitude tidal lee wave on the northward face of the ridge\, while surface confined flows are largely nonturbulent. The regional model demonstrates that nearfield dissipation over the entire ridge is diurnall y modulated\, despite the larger amplitude of the M2 tidal constituent\, i ndicating that the trapped wave modulates near-field dissipation and mixin g at this location.

This study investigates the generation of internal waves by decaying eddies in the North Atlantic western boundar y. The eddy presence and decay are measured from the altimetric surface re lative vorticity associated with an array of full-depth current meters ext ending ~100 km offshore at 26.5N. In addition\, internal waves are analyse d over a topographic rise from 2-year high-frequency measurements of an Ac oustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP)\, which is located 13 km offshore i n 600 m deep water. Despite an apparent polarity independence of the eddy decay observed from altimetric data\, the flow in the deepest 100 m is enh anced for anticyclones (25.2 cm/s) compared with cyclones (-4.7 cm/s). Acc ordingly\, the internal wave field is sensitive to this polarity-dependent deep velocity. This is apparent from the eddy-modulated enhanced dissipat ion rate\, which is obtained from a finescale parameterization and exceeds 10^-9 W/kg for near-bottom flows greater than 8 cm/s. The present study u nderlines the importance of oceanic western boundaries for removing the en ergy of low-mode westward-propagating eddies to higher-mode internal waves .

A geometric framework for parameterising ocean eddy fluxes will be prese nted that is consistent with conservation of energy and momentum. The fram ework involves rewriting the residual-mean eddy force as the divergence of an eddy stress tensor. The magnitude of the eddy stress tensor is bounded by the eddy energy\, allowing its components to be rewritten in terms of the eddy energy and non-dimensional parameters describing the mean 'shape' of the eddies\, analogous to “eddy ellipses” used in observational oceano graphy. These non-dimensional geometric parameters have strong connections with classical stability theory\, for example\, the new framework preserv es the functional form of the linear Eady growth rate and\, with one addit ional ingredient\, Arnold’s first stability theorem. This framework also l eads to a simple model of 'eddy saturation”: the relative insensitivity of the ocean circulation and stratification to the magnitude of the surface wind stress in ocean models with explicit eddies. These results offer the prospect of improved eddy parameterisations that both preserve the underly ing symmetries and conservation laws inherent in the unfiltered equations\ , and reproduce empirical results that have been obtained with eddy-permit ting models.

In or der to predict future atmospheric CO2 levels and global climate\, we must improve quantification of the ocean carbon pumps\, which sequester CO2 fro m the atmosphere on timescales from years to millennia. In this talk\, I w ill present field data from a quasi-Lagrangian cruise in Monterey Bay\, CA and use it to demonstrate how in situ measurements of dissolved gases can be used to quantify the biological and solubility pumps. In particular\, O2 concentration and isotopic composition are tracers of gross and net pro ductivity. A persistent challenge in quantifying biological productivity f rom O2 measurements is the need to accurately parameterize the physical pr ocesses that also alter O2 concentration and isotopic composition (e.g.\, bubble-mediated gas exchange\, diffusive gas exchange\, and mixing). Measu rements of multiple inert gases\, such as the noble gases\, are used to de velop parameterizations for these physical processes. These parameterizati ons are then applied to bioactive gases such as O2 and CO2\, thereby impro ving estimates of the ocean carbon pumps. Additionally\, I will compare in situ gas tracer methods for quantifying productivity with simultaneous in cubation- and sediment trap-based productivity estimates.

In recent years\, atypically warm intrusions have been observed in the halocline. These derive from intense summertime solar warming on outcropping isopycnals in expansive ice-free regions. Heat tha t is stored in the shallow halocline can be released in the fall and winte r by shear driven mixing\, and convective mixing by the release of dense p lumes during sea-ice growth. On the other hand\, deeper warm ocean layers remain unaffected. I'll show that under continued warming\, there exists the possibility for a regime shift in halocline ventilation by these warm waters\, and a subsequent cap on the storage of deep-ocean heat.

Knowledge of the horizontal and vertical distribution of the turbulence is crucial\, which is challenging because internal waves can travel far f rom their sources and can break via a variety of mechanisms. In this talk I will first introduce internal waves for non-specialists\, then walk thr ough an example in the South China Sea where waves can be tracked from the ir source to their breaking locations\, and a rough energy budget determin ed. Then I’ll discuss recent progress in tracking internal wave energy fr om generation to cross-basin propagation to dissipation on the globe\, foc using on recent efforts to constrain 1) q\, the fraction of locally dissip ated energy and 2) the reflection coefficient which determines the partiti on of energy breaking over continental margins versus in the deep basins. A key thread of these analyses is the constant interplay between observat ions and high-resolution models.

Southern Ocean heat uptake is large becau se the strong northward transport of the heat content anomaly limits warmi ng of the sea surface temperature in the uptake region. Using results from eddy-rich global climate simulations\, I will discuss the processes contr olling the northward heat transport away from the uptake region and the co nvergence of the heat content anomaly in the midlatitude Southern Ocean. H eat budget analyses reveal that different processes dominate to the north and south of the main convergence region. The heat transport northward fro m the high-latitude uptake region is driven primarily by passive advection of the heat content anomaly by the existing time mean circulation\, with a smaller contribution from enhanced upwelling. The heat anomaly builds up in the midlatitudes due to a convergent Ekman transport anomaly\, combine d with limited heat transport further northward into the mode waters. To t he north of the peak convergence region\, eddy processes drive the warming and account for nearly 80% of the northward heat transport anomaly.

The model is bas ed on simplified metabolic flux network and resolves key pools of macro-mo lecules\, each of which has different roles for cellular growth. The model is used to predict and interpret the variation of cellular stoichiometry of fresh water Synechococcus sp. under different light and nutrient enviro nment over a range of dilution rates (averaged growth rates) in a steady s tate culture. The model explains the different response of cellular nitrog en and phosphorus quota to the various light-nutrient environments\, predi cting protein and RNA as most influential molecules on nitrogen and phosph orus quotas respectively. The model indicates that\, though total nitrogen storage is larger than phosphorus storage\, relative to requirements\, m any times more phosphorus can be stored. It accurately predicts the maximu m possible growth rate based on the limits of resource allocation within t he cell. Finally\, the model predicts nutrient-light co-limitation of cell population density under different dilution rates. While the nutrient has a direct effect on the population density\, light impacts it by modifying the cellular stoichiometry. This steady-state\, macromolecule based model provides bases for predicting phytoplankton growth in different dynamic e nvironments DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20160526T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20160526T150000 SEQUENCE:0 SUMMARY:SLS – Keisuke Inomura (PAOC-MIT) – A macromolecular model of phytop lankton growth under light and nutrient co-limitation URL:http://oceans.mit.edu/event/sls-keisuke-inomura-paoc-mit-a-macromolecul ar-model-of-phytoplankton-growth-under-light-and-nutrient-co-limitation END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:9742fscbf75i0m39vma3775v9k@google.com DTSTAMP:20180502T144611Z CATEGORIES;LANGUAGE=en-US:WHOI Seminar | Physical Oceanography CONTACT: DESCRIPTION: DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20160526T140500 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20160526T150000 LOCATION:Clark 201 SEQUENCE:0 SUMMARY:Dan Amrhein\, MIT/WHOI. ‘Towards ocean state estimation at the Last Glacial Maximum’.

The role of upstream shear has not previously been thoroughly investigated\, although it is important in many natural flows\, including exchange flows and flows over topography. Several two-layer th eories are extended to include upstream shear\, showing that solutions onl y exist for a limited range of upstream shear values. More realistic two-d imensional numerical simulations are guided by the two-layer theory predic tions\, and the results are used to evaluate the theories. The simulations also show the qualitative types of hydraulic transitions that occur\, inc luding undular bores\, fully turbulent jumps\, and conjugate state-like so lutions. Numerical simulations are also used to investigate the mixing\, a nd a few 3D numerical simulations are found to be consistent with the 2D r esults.\n\nWhen the upstream shear is increased and the basic two-layer th eories no longer exhibit solutions\, entrainment is required. Furthermore\ , the downstream structure of the flow has an important effect on the jump properties. These factors are investigated by modifying a two-layer theor y to allow entrainment and account for the downstream vertical velocity st ructure. The resulting theory indicates that entrainment and jump structu re become important factors that influence the jump height. However\, the results are very sensitive to how the downstream vertical profiles of velo city and density are incorporated into the layered model\, highlighting th e limitations of the two-layer approximation when the shear is large.\n\nW hile these two layer theories provide insight into the types of jumps that can occur and the mixing that they cause\, jumps such as those that occur in Knight Inlet are significantly influenced by factors such as topograph y\, tidal forcing\, and three-dimensional effects.

In response\, the surface ocean salinity in this regio n has declined. The talk will investigate the effects of the freshwater in put on regional sea level\, using satellite measurements of sea surface he ight (for months with no sea-ice cover) and a global ocean circulation mod el. It is found that from 1992 to 2011\, sea-level rise along the Antarcti c coast is at least 2 ± 0.8 mm yr−1 greater than the regional mean for the Southern Ocean. Further\, on the basis of the model simulations\, we conc lude that this sea-level rise is almost entirely related to steric adjustm ent\, rather than changes in local ocean mass\, with a halosteric rise in the upper ocean and thermosteric contributions at depth.

Als o previously argued is that changes in glaciation influence atmospheric CO 2 concentrations through modifying subaerial volcanic eruptions and CO2 em issions. Building on evidence that ocean ridge volcanism responds to chang es in sea level\, it is suggested that ocean ridges play an important role in generating late-Pleistocene 100 ky glacial cycles.\n\nIf all volcanic CO2 emissions responded immediately to changes in pressure\, subaerial and ocean-ridge volcanic emissions anomalies would oppose one another. At oc ean ridges\, however\, the egress of CO2 from the mantle is delayed by ten s-of-thousands of years\, or longer\, owing to ascent time. A simple mode l involving temperature\, ice\, and CO2 is presented that oscillates at ~1 00 ky time scales when incorporating a delayed CO2 contribution from ocea n ridge volcanism\, even if the feedback accounts for only a small fractio n of total changes in CO2.\n\nFor more information\, please see our event we bsite.

Ob servations of deep ocean mixing show that it is both intermittent and high ly inhomogeneous\, with hotspots over regions of rough topography. Determi ning when\, where and how much the ocean mixes is of critical importance f or understanding the large scale circulation\, with implications for bioge ochemistry\, heat transport and ocean modeling in a changing climate.\n\nI n this talk\, I will focus on specific processes associated with tidally d riven turbulence\, combining field observations and numerical modeling of flows through a small channel that transects the crest of the Mendocino Ri dge in the eastern Pacific\, a site of mixed (diurnal and semidiurnal) tid es. At this latitude the diurnal tide is subinertial and evanescent away f rom the topography\, in contrast to the semidiurnal tide which is superine rtial and radiating. We construct two numerical simulations to interpret o ur observations. First\, we use a two-dimensional\, nonhydrostatic\, high resolution simulation to examine flow through the channel\, and show that the observed turbulence arises from both hydraulic jumps and breaking inte rnal lee waves. To place the processes in a regional context\, we use a se cond simulation of tidally driven flow in a three-dimensional domain using realistic bathymetry\, demonstrating the presence of diurnal bottom-trapp ed waves. These energetic internal waves generate strong currents close to the topography\, and their interplay with the superinertial tidal constit uent is of leading order importance in determining the timing and magnitud e of the observed turbulence at the ridge.\n\nOur observations and models illustrate some of the mechanisms by which energy is transferred from the tides to the large scale circulation\, and highlight the role of subinerti al trapped waves at this location. We posit that these waves may be import ant contributors to ocean mixing\, especially at climatically sensitive hi gh latitudes.\n\nEvent link: https://eapsweb.mit.edu/paoc-colloquium-ruth- musgrave-mit DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20160919T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20160919T130000 LOCATION:Ida Green Lounge (9th Floor)\, Building 54\, Cambridge\, MA\, Unit ed States SEQUENCE:0 SUMMARY:PAOC Colloquium: Ruth Musgrave (MIT) URL:http://oceans.mit.edu/event/paoc-colloquium-ruth-musgrave-mit END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:cs642cgnq9ccod34j0oo1ageg4@google.com DTSTAMP:20180502T144611Z CATEGORIES;LANGUAGE=en-US:WHOI Seminar | Physical Oceanography CONTACT: DESCRIPTION: DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20160920T150500 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20160920T160000 LOCATION:Clark 507 SEQUENCE:0 SUMMARY:Viviane Menezes\, WHOI. ‘Accelerated freshening of Antarctic Bottom Waters over the last decade (2007-2016) in the Southern Indian Ocean’.

The intention was to quantify and understand its changing climate impacts. To that end\, the Estimating the Ocean Circulation and Climate (ECCO) consor tium was formed to exploit the global data sets that emerged from WOCE an d its successor programs (Argo\, altimetry\, hydrography\, meteorology\, e tc.) combined with a general circulation model. Now there exists a dynamic ally consistent time-evolving ocean state estimate also (almost) consisten t with all of the data over 24 years. The state estimate makes possible di scussion of basic budgets and their changes (heat and freshwater content\, kinetic and potential energy)\, raises interesting questions of its meani ng\, accuracy and full depiction. I will emphasize the global ocean prope rties and their changes over 20 years with some representative regional ex amples. This talk constitutes an invitation to the wider community to exte nd the available analyses.\n\n\nFor more information\, please see our event websit e.

The magnitude and frequen cy of future ocean temperature extremes will determine the pace of reef de gradation\, with more frequent temperature extremes accelerating the demis e of the most vulnerable reef systems. In this presentation\, I will use m onthly-resolved records of past ocean temperature extremes based on the ge ochemical analysis of coral records to argue that climate change has alrea dy translated into a fundamental change in El Niño properties\, tilting th e ocean-atmosphere system towards more frequent El Niño events in coming d ecades. The effects of such a shift on the world’s reef would be profound\ , as I present evidence from recent surveys of remote coral reef ecosystem s across the 2015/2016 El Niño event. Our sustained study illustrates how interdisciplinary teams are required to address some of the most pressing questions about the future of coral reefs under continued climate change.

The second one is to show how it is possible to obtain\, with the present approach\, some analytical results concerning the stationary dens ity function of the anomaly sea surface temperature\, and the occurring ti ming of strong El Ninõ events.\nThese results fit well the data from obser vations\, reproducing the asymmetry and the power law tail of the histogra ms of the NIÑO3 index and the timing of 2-7 years for intermediate El Ninõ events.\nThe approach is based on some of our recent theoretical results in the field of the dynamical origin of stochastic processes. More precise ly\, we apply this approach to the celebrated recharge oscillator model (R OM)\, weakly interacting by a multiplicative term with a general determini stic system (Madden-Julian Oscillations\, westerly wind burst\, etc.)\, an d we obtain a Fokker-Planck Equation that describes the statistical behavi or of the ROM.\n\nFor more details\n— M.

\n\n'Big Ice: Antarctica\, Greenland\, and Boston' \n\nAn ice sheet is a two-mile-thick\, continent-wide pile of old snow\, spreading under its own weight and sculpting the land beneath.  Th e ice sheet that buried Boston 20\,000 years ago melted when slowly acting features of Earth’s orbit raised summer sunshine and atmospheric CO2\, wa rming the climate. The history of that Ice Age can still be read in Boston Harbor\, and in the layers of the surviving ice sheets on Antarctica and Greenland. But\, more warming may melt those ice records\, as break-off of huge icebergs and outburst floods speed sea-level rise.\n\n \n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nDr. Richard Alley is an Evan Pug h Professor of Geosciences in Penn State's College of Earth and Mineral Sc iences. His research interests focus on glaciology\, sea level change and abrupt climate change\, and he frequently discusses earth sciences on majo r media outlets\, including NPR\, BBC and PBS. He is widely credited with showing that the earth has experienced abrupt climate change in the past—a nd likely will again\, based on his meticulous study of ice cores from Gre enland and West Antarctica.\n\nFor more information contact: Allison P rovaire\, provaire@mit.edu\n\nM ore about previous Carlson Lectures here.\n\n

Because of its large buffer capa city\, the ocean will eventually absorb 60 to 85% of the carbon dioxide em itted to the atmosphere on a time scale of 1000 years or longer. However t he uptake of carbon dioxide by the ocean has the side effect of acidifying the water\, with negative consequences for marine ecosystems and unclear implications for the functioning of the marine carbon cycle. This lecture will detail the linkages between marine ecosystem processes (from bacteria to jellyfish) and the carbon cycle. It will show how ecosystem processes can be understood through their biogeochemical functionality\, and explain the knowns and unknowns of the impacts of ocean acidification. The lectur e will end with a discussion of how changes in marine ecosystems could hav e knock on effects on climate regulation.

These methods can provide a skeleton or template that allows one to id entify regions of rapid stirring\, transport\, and transport barriers. 'L obe dynamics'\, one of the most beautiful techniques in the toolbox\, prov ides for the measurement and visualization of transport and exchange acros s moving boundaries. Other methods allow for the identification of natura l barriers such as the material boundary of a coherent eddy. The focus is entirely on fluid 'material' transport (volume transport) and fluxes of o ceanographically important properties such as heat\, salt\, vorticity and chemical and biological tracers are relevant only to the extent that they are conserved following fluid motion. In addition\, lobe dynamics can bec ome cumbersome when the flow field is complex. I will talk about a genera lize approach that enables consideration of a variety of property fluxes\, provides a simplified application to complex flow fields\, and attempts t o preserves the beauty of the original approach.

Biological availability of dissolved inorganic forms o f nitrogen is one of the most critical factors that constrains productivit y and biogeochemical cycling in ocean ecosystems. The nitrogen cycle is be ing dramatically affected by anthropogenic activities leading to known and undoubtedly as yet unknown impacts on the oceans. Marine microorganisms a re key components of ocean ecosystems\, and are important in food webs\, a s well as cycling elements\, such as nitrogen\, from one chemical form to another. The species of marine microorganisms in the environment are still poorly known\, because many of the important species have been difficult to obtain in laboratory culture. Molecular biology and genomics approaches have identified new species\, and also have shown that known taxa are com prised of surprisingly great diversity of closely related subspecies that have different ecological niches. Is this diversity important for the nitr ogen cycle of the sea?\n\nOnly a few types of microorganisms are able to d raw on the rich source of nitrogen in the atmosphere (78% of the atmospher e)\; these organisms\, called nitrogen-fixing microorganisms (diazotrophs) are very important components of oceanic ecosystems\, are very difficult to study\, and are likely to be sensitive to changes in climate and nitrog en perturbations. Technological advances have made it possible to study ho w the complex microbial communities respond to changes in nitrogen availab ility\, including the use of remotely deployed robotic laboratories. Onl y within the past few decades\, using these cultivation-independent approa ches\, a novel unicellular symbiosis between 2 single-celled microorganism s was discovered that now appears to be one of the most abundant nitrogen- fixing microorganisms\, and plays a key role in global oceanic nitrogen cy cling. I will discuss how technological advances are needed to determine h ow microbial communities respond to global climate change\, and whether sp ecies diversity is important in how microbial communities respond to nitro gen\, using the discovery of a very unusual nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria called UCYN-A as an example.

I will discuss how ecological dynamics and redox chemistry can explain the formation of the PNM by chemoautotrophic nitrifying microorganisms. Th eoretical descriptions of nitrifying metabolisms\, reflecting their underl ying redox chemistry\, results in the emergence of a PNM in a marine ecosy stem model. I also discuss the implications for understanding rates of new production using this more mechanistic representation of nitrification.

With this rheolo gy\, large scale velocity and thickness fields can be realistically simula ted\, but the representation of small scale deformation rates and Linear K inematic Features (LKF) is thought to be inadequate. However\, at high res olution (< 5 km) the rheology starts to produce lines of localised deforma tion rates. In this study we use results from a 1-km Pan-Arctic model to i nvestigate the influence of these deformation features on the scaling prop erties of sea ice deformation. For evaluation the EGPS satellite data set of small-scale sea ice kinematics for the Central Arctic (successor of RGP S) is used.\nThe modelled sea ice deformation shows multi-fractal spatial scaling and\, in this sense\, agrees with the satellite data. In addition\ , the temporal coupling of the spatial scaling is reproduced as well. Furt hermore\, we examine the regional and seasonal variations of spatial scali ng properties and its dependence on the ice condition\, i.e. sea ice conce ntration and thickness\, which are in agreement with previous RGPS studies .

However\, oxygen has not generally been considered a major constr aint on the contemporary biogeography of species outside regions of except ionally low O2. I will present a combination of physiological\, climate\, and species distribution data\, to argue that the limits of several diver se species ranges are governed by the ratio of oxygen supply and demand\, even in the well-oxygenated Atlantic Ocean. These limits correspond to an energetic requirement for organismal activity of about 2-5 times that at rest\, a ratio that is shared by most terrestrial species. This metaboli c constraint is rapidly tightened in the presence of climate warming due t o the combination of warmer water and less O2.

In this talk\, I will focus on measurements of 14CO2 and of the oxygen and intramolecular nitrogen isotopic compositio n of N2O in the stratosphere and troposphere. For CO2\, I will show how we use new observations in the stratosphere (e.g.\, Ref 1) to estimate empir ically the global annual mean production rate of 14C by cosmic rays and th e net 14C flux from the stratosphere to the troposphere useful for carbon cycle studies\, as well as to monitor stratospheric residence times to see if they are changing in response to a predicted acceleration of the Brewe r-Dobson Circulation as the climate warms. For N2O\, I will show how strat ospheric and tropospheric isotope observations reveal a ‘smoking gun’ for increases in agricultural emissions (similar to the Suess Effect for 14CO2 ) and how N2O isotope measurements can be used to distinguish between the influence of the stratospheric sink and oceanic and biospheric sources\, d emonstrating that isotope measurements can help in the attribution and qua ntification of surface sources in general (e.g.\, Ref. 2).\n1.

The mechanisms b y which the deep ocean circulation changed\, however\, are still unclear a nd represent a major challenge to our understanding of past and future cli mates.\n\nWe address this question using a hierarchy of numerical models o f varying complexity\, ranging from a highly idealized ocean-only model to coupled climate simulations from the Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparis on Project (PMIP). The results suggest that various inferred differences i n the deep ocean circulation and stratification between glacial and interg lacial climates can be attributed to increased Antarctic sea-ice formation in a colder world. Colder temperatures lead to thicker ice\, which is exp orted by winds. The associated increased freshwater export leads to saltie r and denser Antarctic Bottom Water\, consistent with high abyssal salinit ies inferred for the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). The enhanced deep ocean s tratification moreover results in a weakening and shoaling of the inter-he mispheric overturning circulation\, again consistent with proxy evidence f or the LGM. \n\nThe results also highlight the importance to distinguish b etween the equilibrium and transient response of the ocean circulation to climatic changes. The adjustment of the deep ocean circulation is found to be highly non-monotonic\, with the response on centennial time-scales dif fering qualitatively from the equilibrium results. This distinction is rar ely observable in complex coupled climate models\, which cannot be integra ted for sufficiently long times.

A series of recent mo deling studies suggest the vertical structure \nis fairly well-captured by a single mode\, intensified near the surface and\ndecaying to zero with d epth. A study of 69 globally-distributed current \nmeters supports this\, in many locations outside of the tropics. The reason\nfor the dominance of a surface is explored theoretically\, using a simple\ntwo layer model. Th e latter predicts a wavenumber frequency spectra \nwhich resembles that in the ocean\, except at small scales. The latter are \nshown to be more lik ely to transfer energy to large scales\, leaving the\n(non-dispersive) lar ge scale waves in tact.

I report on initial findings by the Southern Ocean Carbon and Climate Observations and Modeling (SOCCOM) Proj ect\, which will eventually deploy ~200 Argo type floats equipped with nit rate\, oxygen\, pH and optical sensors\, of which >50 have already been la unched. Initial analysis of a subset of these floats exhibits wintertime behavior that differs dramatically from what had been inferred previously\ , with major implications for our understanding of the ocean carbon cycle.

Variability of ice stream flow on centennial to millennial time scales plays an important role in the present mass balance of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. In this talk\, I show how a simple model of subglacial meltwat er production coupled to ice flow explains the underlying physical mechani sm for millennial-scale\, unforced ice stream variability and predicts the transition to steady ice stream flow. The model equally well reproduces m odern ice stream variability in the Siple Coast region of West Antarctica and Heinrich events\, periods of increased ice discharge from the Laurenti de Ice Sheet during the last glacial period. In a more realistic\, purpose -built model\, the same mechanism produces variability and rapid migration s of the ice stream grounding line. These migrations are always associated with mass imbalance near the grounding line\, but not necessarily in the ice stream at large\, which is important to consider when interpreting mod ern observations of grounding line variability. Under certain conditions\, this ice stream variability may cause the grounding line to slow down for hundreds to thousands of years even as it retreats onto a reverse bed slo pe\, before readvancing. Such behavior runs counter to the conventional th eories predicting the instability of ice sheets on reverse bed slopes. Det ermining if such behavior occurs in real ice sheets is important when eval uating the likelihood of irreversible ice sheet collapse and rapid sea lev el rise in the future.

The Salinity in the Upper Ocean Processes Study (SP URS) confirmed the importance of eddy mixing for the surface salinity fiel ds even in the center of the subtropical gyre of the North Atlantic. We fo cus on the global salinity maxima due to their role as indicators for glob al changes in the hydrological cycle as well as providing the source water masses for the shallow overturning circulation.\nWe introduce a novel app roach to estimate the contribution of eddy mixing to the global sea surfac e salinity maxima. Using a global 2D tracer experiments in a 1/10 degree M ITgcm setup driven by observed surface velocities\, we analyze the effect of eddy mixing using a water mass framework\, thus focussing on the diffus ive flux across surface isohalines. This enables us to diagnose temporal v ariability on seasonal to inter annual time scales\, revealing regional di fferences in the mechanism causing temporal variability.Sensitivity experi ments with various salinity backgrounds reveal robust inter annual variabi lity caused by changes in the surface velocity fields potentially forced b y large scale climate.

As the water moves around\, it caries heat and nutrients\, as well as larger objects like pl anktonic organisms and litter around the globe.\n\nThe most natural way to study the pathways of water and the connections between ocean basins is u sing particle trajectories. The trajectories can come from either computin g of virtual floats in high-resolution ocean models\, or from the paths of free-flowing observational drifters (surface buoys or Argo floats) in the real ocean.\n\nIn this seminar\, I'll give an overview of some recent wor k with Lagrangian particles. I will show applications to dynamical oceanog raphy\, marine ecology\, palaeoclimatology and marine plastic pollution. C entral to each of these studies is the question on how connected the diffe rent ocean basins are\, and on what time scales water flows between the di fferent regions of the ocean.

It has long been thought that heterogen eous chlorine chemistry would only be important in the Antarctic and Arcti c. Our new work shows that tropical heterogeneous chemistry is also imp ortant. Transport processes associated with the summer monsoons bring i ncreased abundances of hydrochloric acid into contact with liquid sulfate aerosols in the cold tropical lowermost stratosphere\, leading to heteroge neous chemical activation of chlorine species. The calculations indicate that the spatial and seasonal distributions of chlorine monoxide and chlo rine nitrate near the monsoon regions of the northern hemisphere tropical and subtropical lowermost stratosphere could provide indicators of heterog eneous chlorine processing. In the model\, these processes impact the lo cal ozone budget and decrease ozoneabundances\, implying a chemical contri bution to longer-term northern tropical ozone profile changes at 16-19 km.

The radiative forcing scales as the ratio of the fossil fuel CO2 in the atmosphere to the background\, natural CO2 concentration. Assuming continued exponential growth in the fossil carbon in the atmosphere\, alt ering the background concentration has the effect of dialing the radiative forcing and climate response back and forth in time. If the natural conc entration had been a factor of two or more lower\, the climate impacts of fossil fuel CO2 release would have occurred about 50 or more years sooner\ , making it much more challenging for the developing human society to scie ntifically understand the phenomenon of anthropogenic climate change in ti me to prevent it.\n\nNow that we understand the situation\, much of our de cision-making progress involves money. The costs of cutting CO2 emissions (mitigation) can be balanced against a construct called the Social Cost o f Carbon\, which is formulated to represent future costs as their present- day equivalents using discounting\, in order to compare fairly against the immediate costs of mitigation. U.S. EPA valued the SCC at about $40 / to n of CO2. I will show the derivation of a different but complementary num ber\, the potential Ultimate Social Cost of Carbon to 5000 future human ge nerations of the climate impacts from fossil CO2 release. Long term sea l evel rise of 50 meters provides the clearest impact. I get about $40k / t on CO2. The formulation treats humanity as any other component of the ter restrial biosphere\, in an end-member case where we do not transcend biolo gical limitations such as by soil and water availability. Costs are integ rated through time based on the assumption that each generation of humanit y values its world (whatever it may look like) equally to any other genera tion\, in particular to our own.

Sinking of particulate organic matter contributes to exporting carbon and nitrogen. But\, oxygen necessarily relies on an ad vective flux that feeds the bacterial demand for decomposing organic matte r at depth. Glider profiles of oxygen\, backscatter and chlorophyll are an alyzed following the spring phytoplankton bloom in the subpolar North Atla ntic and show signatures of subducting water features intertwined within t he eddy field. A numerical model reveals how eddies subduct surface waters rich in carbon and oxygen during the phase of mixed layer stratification that follows the onset of the spring bloom. The downward flux can be quant ified in terms of the horizontal and vertical gradients of buoyancy and tr acer. Evaluation of the scaling estimate over the global oceans shows that eddy-driven subduction following the spring bloom makes a sizable contrib ution to the export of carbon and oxygen from the high-latitude oceans.

Gnanadesikan’s (1999) conceptual model for the upper branch of the MOC is extended to include two basins o f different widths connected by a re-entrant channel at the southern edge and separated by two continents of different meridional extents. Its analy sis illustrates the basic processes of interbasin flow exchange either thr ough the connection at the southern latitude of the long continent (cold route) or through the connection at the southern latitude of the short con tinent (warm route). A cold-route exchange occurs when the short continent is poleward of the latitude separating the sub-polar and sub-tropical gyr e in the southern hemisphere\, otherwise there is warm-route exchange. The predictions of the conceptual model are compared to primitive equation co mputations in a domain with the same idealized geometry forced by wind-str ess\, surface temperature relaxation and surface salinity flux. A visualiz ation of the horizontal structure of the upper branch of the MOC illustrat es the cold and warm routes of interbasin exchange flows. Diagnostics of t he primitive equation computations show that the warm-route exchange flow is responsible for a substantial salinification of the basin where sinking occurs. This salinification is larger when the interbasin exchange is via the warm route\, and it is more pronounced when the warm-route exchange f lows from the wide to the narrow basin.

Thi s study focuses on past and present deposition of mineral dust in the alpi ne zone of the Uinta Mountains in northeastern Utah. Alpine soil profiles in the Uintas feature a ubiquitous layer of silt ~20 cm thick\, indicating that dust deposition has been a significant long-term process in this env ironment. Four passive dust collectors were deployed in June\, 2011\, and an additional four were deployed in October\, 2015. These collectors docum ent an average dust flux of ~4 g/m2/yr\, similar to values measured from s nowpack samples in the Wind River (Wyoming) and San Juan (Colorado) Mounta ins. XRD analysis reveals that the dust is dominated by quartz\, potassium feldspar\, plagioclase\, and illite. Some samples contain amphibole and c hlorite. The dust is very well-sorted\, with a median size of 8 μm. Geoche mical records from lacustrine sediment cores reveal that the flux and prop erties of dust arriving in the Uinta Mountains have varied over the post-g lacial period\, likely in response to regional changes in aridity. A speci ally designed active sampler deployed at an elevation of 3700 m collects s eparate samples of NNW and SSE provenance. Differences in grain size distr ibution\, mineralogy\, and geochemistry of samples from contrasting wind d irections indicate the importance of regional dust sources.

This force is almost e ntirely balanced by topographic form stress (that is the correlation of bo ttom pressure and topographic slope). The direct effect of bottom or skin friction in turbulent boundary layers is almost negligible for the momentu m balance. We use a one-layer barotropic model to study the effect of a ra ndom monoscale bottom topography on beta-plane geostrophic turbulence. The model forcing is a uniform steady wind stress that produces both a unifor m large-scale flow and smaller-scale macroturbulence. The macroturbulence is characterized by both standing and transient eddies and the large-scale flow is retarded by a combination of bottom drag and domain-averaged topo graphic form stress produced by the standing eddies. \n\nA main control pa rameter is the ratio of beta to the root mean square gradient of the topog raphic potential vorticity (PV). We derive asymptotic scaling laws for the strength of the large-scale flow in the limiting cases of weak and strong forcing. If beta is comparable to\, or larger than\, the topographic PV g radient there is an “eddy saturation” regime in which the large-scale flow is insensitive to large changes in the wind stress. We show that eddy sat uration requires strong transient eddies that act effectively as PV diffus ion. This diffusion does not decrease the strength of the standing eddies but it does increase the topographic form stress by enhancing the correlat ion between topographic slope and the standing eddy pressure field.

Recent observa tional studies have noted changes in the statistics of tornadoes reported in the U.S. While there is believed to have been no changes in the annual number of reliably reported tornadoes\, year-to-year variability has incre ased and more tornadoes are occurring in clusters (outbreaks). A natural q uestion is whether a changing climate might be responsible for these trend s. The length\, variability and quality of the U.S. tornado record make an swering that question difficult. An alternative approach is to examine lar ge-scale meteorological features such as vertical wind shear and convectiv e available potential energy that are associated with increased likelihood of severe thunderstorm activity. These associations can be summarized in indices which are functions of the local environment and whose values indi cate the likelihood of severe thunderstorms. Here we compare variability i n tornado reports to observed changes in meteorological environments\, as well as those expected under climate change.

Five “hotspots” of high probability of eddy generatio n are identified using altimeter data. These hotspots are located downstre am of major topographic features\, with their boundaries closely following f/H contours. Eddies generated in these locations do not propagate far bu t decay within the boundaries of the generation area. The anisotropy of th e dispersion of eddy tracks in geographical coordinates versus a rotated c oordinates system aligned with f/H contours\, shows that eddies tend to fo llow f/H contours rather than f. Maps of buoyancy and shear production ter ms computed from a state estimation model show enhanced values of both con version terms inside the hotspots\, with buoyancy production two orders of magnitude larger than shear production. The mean potential density field estimated from Argo floats shows that inside the hotspots isopycnal slopes are steep\, indicating availability of potential energy and providing fur ther evidence of the main generation mechanism. The hotspots identified in this paper overlap with previously identified regions of standing meander s. We hypothesize that hotspot locations can be explained by the combined effect of topographic features\, standing meanders which enhanced baroclin ic instability and availability of potential energy to generate eddies via baroclinic instabilities.

Idealized GCM e xperiments show that the global climatic impact of spatially localized oce an heat uptake patterns are very sensitive to their geographical distribut ion. I will discuss these results in terms of the efficacy concept and a l inear systems perspective in which responses to individual climate forcing agents are additive. Heat uptake can be treated as a slowly varying forci ng on the atmosphere and surface\, whose efficacy is strongly determined b y its spatial pattern. An illustrative linear model demonstrates the emerg ence of increasing climate sensitivity as a simple consequence of the slow decay of high-efficacy sub-polar heat uptake. Shortwave cloud feedbacks a re a key player in this increasing climate sensitivity\, both in idealized and CMIP5-type models. I propose a causal physical mechanism linking sub- polar heat uptake to a global-scale increase in lower-tropospheric stabili ty.

As a result\, state-of-the-art general circulation models ha ve little data with which to validate simulations of past climate\, thereb y placing much uncertainty on future projections of monsoon variability. G iven the large population of SE Asia who rely on the monsoon rains for agr iculture and economic development\, it is critical that we gain a better u nderstanding on the factors that influence the monsoon climate.

\nThe MIT S ea Grant College Program and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency have been working with the National Park Service to study carbon cycling in co astal dune habitats\, as well as the effects of historic peat deposits on the establishment and persistence of invasive plants (Phragmites austra lis). With the increased risk of erosion from coastal storms exposing the once-buried peat deposits\, and the challenge of controlling an aggres sive invasive species\, this dynamic system faces an uncertain future. The research findings from this study will inform future conservation efforts in the region as well as provide a deeper understanding of carbon cycling in coastal dunes.

It has long been thought that heterogen eous chlorine chemistry would only be important in the Antarctic and Arcti c. Our new work shows that tropical heterogeneous chemistry is also imp ortant. Transport processes associated with the summer monsoons bring i ncreased abundances of hydrochloric acid into contact with liquid sulfate aerosols in the cold tropical lowermost stratosphere\, leading to heteroge neous chemical activation of chlorine species. The calculations indicate that the spatial and seasonal distributions of chlorine monoxide and chlo rine nitrate near the monsoon regions of the northern hemisphere tropical and subtropical lowermost stratosphere could provide indicators of heterog eneous chlorine processing. In the model\, these processes impact the lo cal ozone budget and decrease ozone abundances\, implying a chemical contr ibution to longer-term northern tropical ozone profile changes at 16-19 km .

The Eulerian mooring technique is used to monitor te mperature variations by typically 100 sensors distributed over lines betwe en 40 and 400 m long. The independent sensors sample at a rate of 1 Hz for up to one year with a precision better than 0.1 mK. This precision and sa mpling rate are sufficient to resolve the large\, energy containing turbul ent eddies and all of the internal waves and their breaking above underwat er topography. Such underwater wave breaking is the key mechanism for the redistribution of nutrients and heat (to maintain the ocean stably stratif ied)\, and the resuspension of sediment.\n\nUnder conditions of tight temp erature-density relationship\, the temperature data are used to quantify t urbulent overturns. These observations show two distinctive turbulence pro cesses that are associated with different phases of a large-scale\, mainly tidal\, internal gravity wave: i) highly nonlinear turbulent bores during the upslope propagating phase\, and ii) Kelvin-Helmholtz billows\, at som e distance above the slope\, during the downslope phase. While the former may be associated in part with convective turbulent overturning following Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities\, the latter are mainly related to shear-ind uced instabilities. Under weaker stratified conditions\, away from boundar ies\, free convective mixing appears more often\, but a clear inertial sub range in temperature spectra is indicative of dominant shear-induced turbu lence. With stratification\, turbulence is seen to increase in dissipation rate and diffusivity all the way to the bottom\, which challenges the ide a of a homogeneous bottom boundary layer. With a newly developed five-line s mooring\, the transition from isotropy (full turbulence) to anisotropy ( stratified turbulence/internal waves) is revealed.

Yet\, this does not mean that we will never experience one. Such\nenormous eruptions have the potential to wreak havoc on life\, infrastructure\, travel\, and the\nenvironment. Consequently\, it is critical that we study past supereruptions to understand how\, when\ , where\, and why one might happen in the future. In addition\, supererupt ion deposits are evidence that large volumes of magma existed in the crust multiple times in Earth’s history\; thus\, studying these systems can inf orm on the magmatic construction of Earth’s crust.\n\nIn this talk\, I wil l address several outstanding and strongly debated questions regarding\nsu pereruptive systems: Where in the crust do these magmas reside? What shape do they take? How long do they persist in the crust before erupting? When \, why\, and over what timescales does the eruptive process occur? How are the giant volumes of crystal-poor high-silica rhyolite magma involved in supereruptions generated? Answering these questions is important both for practical reasons (e.g.\, hazards preparation and mitigation) and intellec tual ones (e.g.\, understanding crustal processes). \n\nTo address these q uestions\, I combine information from multiple scales and perspectives (fi eld studies\, geochemistry\, textural relations of crystals in rocks and m elt inclusions in crystals\, geochronology\, geobarometry\, phase-equilibr ia modeling\, and diffusion modeling). Results from this work suggest that we can make some broad generalizations about supereruptive systems\, but these systems have notable variability as well (e.g.\, their shape in the crust). This work also illustrates the power in using a multi-faceted\, mu lti-disciplinary approach to addressing questions in the Earth Sciences.

As a result\, the role that icebergs play in Earth 's climate system has received a recent surge of interest\, and efforts ar e underway to explicitly represent icebergs in GCMs. A better understandin g of how icebergs drift and decay will help facilitate an accurate represe ntation of icebergs and guide the interpretation of GCM results. In this t alk I will present an idealized analytical model that we developed to aid this effort. I will use the model to address (i) which climate model varia bles are most important to accurately model iceberg evolution and (ii) whe ther climate models do a good job simulating these variables. I then will turn to episodes of massive iceberg discharge\, called Heinrich Events\, w hich occurred during the last glacial period. These events are believed to have had large-scale impacts on the global climate system. However\, mode ling icebergs that lived and melted more than 10\,000 years ago comes with its own challenges\, as we will see.

In this talk\, we explore the implications of these emerging theories for the observed variability of the SAM on sea sonal and longer time scales. We start by using the atmospheric moisture b udget to introduce a novel objective index for the onset and retreat of th e SAM\, which robustly captures the expected seasonal transitions in preci pitation and winds and eliminates the need for arbitrarily selected thresh olds. Using this index\, we show how the SAM onset and retreat are associa ted with a coherent set of seasonal transitions in circulation\, jet strea ms\, precipitation\, energetics\, and momentum balance throughout the SAM sector. We also use the atmospheric moisture budget to define a new index for the SAM strength on interannual time scales. We show that interannual variability in SAM net precipitation is primarily caused by variations in winds rather than variations in humidity\, and that strong monsoons are as sociated with a northward expansion of the overturning circulation and a d ecreased near-surface land-sea thermal contrast\, in disagreement with the traditional view of the SAM as a sea-breeze circulation. We also find tel econnections between SAM strength and temperatures\, winds\, and momentum and energy transports in the southern hemisphere extra tropics\, which sug gest new directions for future research to improve our understanding of th e mechanisms involved in SAM variability.

They could exacerbate or mitigate warming and extr eme weather events in the future\, depending on their response to anthropo genic climate change. Climate models show an ongoing poleward expansion an d intensification of the global wind systems\, most robustly in the Southe rn Hemisphere\, and linear dynamical theory suggests that western boundary currents will intensify and shift poleward as a result. Observational evi dence of such changes comes from accelerated warming and air–sea heat flux rates within all western boundary currents\, which are two or three times faster than global mean rates. Here we show that\, despite these expectat ions\, the Agulhas Current has not intensified since the early 1990s. Inst ead\, we find that it has broadened as a result of more eddy activity. Rec ent analyses of other western boundary currents—the Kuroshio and East Aust ralia currents—hint at similar trends. These results indicate that intensi fying winds may be increasing the eddy kinetic energy of boundary currents \, rather than their mean flow. This could act to decrease poleward heat t ransport while increasing cross-frontal exchange of heat (and nutrients an d pollutants) between the coastal ocean and the deep ocean. Sustained in s itu measurements are needed to properly understand the role of these curre nt systems in a changing climate.

Previous studies have alluded to the seasonally-va rying downstream influence of the westerlies flowing around the Tibetan Pl ateau as central to the rainfall seasonality. I propose a hypothesis that the East Asian summer rainfall variability and change arise through modula tion in the meridional position of the westerlies impinging on the Plateau \, which in turn altered the timing and duration of its seasonal transitio ns. The viability of this hypothesis is demonstrated through examples fro m observed modern-day variability and from paleoclimatic changes. I will e nd with a discussion on the basic ingredients controlling East Asian summe r monsoon seasonality.

The global ocean is implicitly considered as a passive heat reservoir\, and it is assumed that the ocean was in equilibrium with the atmosphere be fore the anthropogenic global warming had occurred. However\, the global o cean is a dynamically active heat exchanger involving processes of various temporal and spatial scales and has a memory of thousands of years. Not o nly the heat exchange between ocean and atmosphere but the vertical heat f lux passing the lower face of the upper ocean contribute to the changes in the observed upper ocean heat content. In this talk\, I will present the mean and the bidecadal change of the ocean vertical heat flux as well as t he related physical processes from a dynamically consistent and data-const rained ocean state estimate - ECCO (Estimating the Circulation & Climate o f the Ocean). Implications of the vertical redistribution of ocean heat on the changes of the upper and deep ocean heat contents\, particularly the recently much-debated global warming 'hiatus'\, will also be discussed.

 el: What Do Hurricanes Harvey and Irma Portend? Kerry Emanuel: What Do Hurricanes Harvey and Irma Portend?[/caption ]\n\nSpeaker: Kerry A. Emanuel\, Cecil & Ida Green Profes sor of Atmospheric Science\, Co-Director of the Lorenz Center\nDat e: Wednesday\, September 20\, 4:00pm to 5:00pm\nLocation: MIT Campus\, 54-100\n\nSpecial Lecture: 'What Do Hurricanes Harvey and Irma Portend?'\n\nNatural d isasters are the result of the interaction of a natural phenomenon with hu man beings and their built environments. Globally and in the U.S.\, large increases in coastal populations are causing corresponding increases in hu rricane damage and these are now being compounded by rising sea levels and changing storm characteristics owing to anthropogenic climate change. In this talk\, I will describe projections of changing hurricane activity ove r the rest of this century and what such projections tell us about how the probabilities of hurricanes like Harvey and Irma have already changed and are likely to continue to do so.\n\nAbout the Speaker\n \nKerry Emanuel is a pr ominent meteorologist and climate scientist who specializes in moist conve ction in the atmosphere\, and tropical cyclones. His research interests fo cus on tropical meteorology and climate\, with a specialty in hurricane ph ysics. His interests also include cumulus convection\, the role of clouds\ , water vapor\, and upper-ocean mixing in regulation of climate\, and adva nced methods of sampling the atmosphere in aid of numerical weather predic tion.\n\nEmanuel received an S.B. degree in Earth and Planetary Sciences a nd a Ph.D. in Meteorology (1978) both from MIT. After completing his docto rate\, he joined the faculty of the Atmospheric Sciences department of the University of California at Los Angeles where he remained for three years \, with a brief hiatus filming tornadoes in Oklahoma and Texas.\n\nIn 1981 he joined the faculty of the Department of Meteorology at MIT and was pro moted to Full Professor in 1987 in what had since becomes the Department o f Earth\, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences (EAPS). In 1989 he assumed di rectorship of EAPS Center for Meteorology and Physical Oceanography\, a po st he held until 1997. Subsequently he chaired the EAPS Program in Atmosph eres\, Oceans\, and Climate from 2009 to 2012. He is co-founder of the MIT Lorenz Center\, a climate think tank which fosters creative approaches to learning how climate works.\n\nProfessor Emanuel is the author or co-auth or of over 200 peer-reviewed scientific papers\, and three books\, includi ng Divine Wind: The History and Science of Hurricanes\, published by Oxfor d University Press\, and What We Know about Climate Change\, published by the MIT Press.
