Last chance to submit your abstract to our OSM26 session on northern overturning and watermass transformation. Looking forward to seeing your work 🌊

Nice paper led by @leonchafik.bsky.social on the North Atlantic-Nordic Seas overturning circulation.

Warm & salty North Atlantic water transport to the Nordic Sea (NS) across the Greenland-Scotland Ridge (GSR) didn't show a slowdown since 1972. Instead, it exhibited multidecadal variability. The NS overflow & AMOC across the GSR also display a similar signal. 🌊🧪👍 doi.org/10.1038/s43247-025-02557-x

A huge thank you to everyone that joined us at the first day of the re-launch & 75th Anniversary of the journal #Tellus! 🫶

Brilliant presentations, and we are more than excited for what day two will bring tomorrow. 🌍

The worldview of sea surface temperatures really does put into perspective how extreme the anomalous warmth is off the coast of Ireland.

It's the biggest & most intense marine heatwave on the planet, some >5°C above normal. Enhanced rainfall & hotter heatwaves a possible impact.

The NOAA science seminars continue tomorrow with a verrry relevant talk on "The Social Value of Forecasting Hurricanes" by Renato Molina. Unsurprisingly, he finds that public investments in hurricane forecasts pay for themselves many times over in reduced losses.

Opting out will make climate change more of a threat to US citizens!
“The world’s largest community of climate scientists urges the Trump administration to immediately renew U.S. federal commitment to climate science, including the restoration of data, personnel, grants and collaborations.”
AGU urges US commitment to climate science
The U.S. must restore critical climate science leadership for a secure, prosperous future for the country and the world.

🌊 Today in @nature.com: Is the AMOC on the brink of collapse?

Unlikely before 2100—but the risks are real 🚨

We find Southern Ocean winds keep this vital ocean "heat engine" running, even under extreme #climatechange. But the Pacific holds a surprise…
