Talk Abstract: TBA

 

Data Science and Data Curation make it into the news almost every day. As a scientist, knowing the data resource landscape at UCSD in general, and at Scripps in particular, will enable you to do better science. Easily adoptable leading data practices will make your program managers happier, and will give you a strategic competitive advantage that will ensure that your research outputs are easier to discover and use by your colleagues in all science domains.  
 
Producing research outputs that are findable…

Please join us on Thursday, May 26 at 8am (Pacific Time) for a virtual discussion with the University of Southampton. 

We will begin with brief talks from Dr. Tom Bibby, "Diagnosing the molecular basis of nutrient limitation in Trichodesismum", and Dr. Katherine Barbeau, "Molecular markers of iron limitation in the California Current ecosystem."
 
Following the talks, there will be an open discussion.

Talk Abstract: TBA

The weak temperature gradient (WTG) approximation is extended to the basic equations on a rotating plane. The circulation is decomposed into a diabatic component that satisfies WTG balance exactly and a deviation from this balance. Scale analysis of the decomposed basic equations reveals a spectrum of motions, including unbalanced inertio-gravity waves and several systems that are in approximate WTG balance. The balanced systems include equatorial moisture modes with features reminiscent of the MJO, off-equatorial moisture modes that resemble tropical…

Talk Abstract:

In many parts of the global ocean, density compensated temperature (T) and salinity (S) anomalies, known as ocean spice, highlight processes that interleave, stir and eventually mix water from different sources. The unique spatial and temporal structure of upper ocean spice patterns is set by the large-scale dynamics and the balance between different frontal processes, such as subduction, turbulent mixing, and atmospheric forcing that create, distribute and destroy spice. Spice variability also plays a substantial role…

Billy Jenkins & Matthew Kehrli

This week's AOS seminar will feature two of our own: Billy Jenkins and Matthew Kehrli. Please join us in person at Spiess 330 on Thursday, May 5, 4-5pm Pacific if you can make it. We will provide snacks after the presentation. There is a zoom option as well, please see below for the link.
