Updates from the EO group.
The CLICCS2 Hamburg Cluster of Excellence was approved for funding by the DFG. News here including further links. The Experimental Oceanography group will be contributing most strongly in the “Natural Dynamics” theme of the project, to investigate how small scale processes influence the large-scale ocean circulation.
The Experimental Oceanography group is hiring a seagoing technician at the University Hamburg (deadline to apply: 4 April 2025). Please contact Eleanor with any questions or to discuss.
To apply, please see the advert on the University webpage: https://bit.ly/seagoing-technician
The AEI-DFG DS-MIXSED project (Denmark Strait - Mixing and Sediment Dynamics) will be starting in 2025 with collaborators David Amblas, Anna Sanchez, Wilken-Jon von Appen and Lola Perez Hernandez. This is a 3-year project to study mixing in the Denmark Strait overflow waters downstream of Denmark Strait, and the influence of currents on seabed morphology (and vice versa). More information will be forthcoming in the new year.
The DS2 mooring was successfully redeployed in the Denmark Strait by Andreas and Chiara onboard the Sarmiento de Gamboa. The Denmark Strait mooring array is maintained by us and Andreas Macrander at the Marine & Freshwater Research Institute of Iceland.
Eleanor attended an AAORIA and Partnership for Atlantic Cooperation meeting in Washington DC in August 2024. The objective of the workshop - with attendees from the USA, UK, Germany, France, Norway, Denmark, South Africa, Kenya, Argentina, Brazil and elsewhere - was to identify priority action areas for AAORIA.
Today, we kick off the AMOC workshop on ‘Meeting AMOC observation needs in a changing climate’. The workshop is co-sponsored by WCRP CLIVAR (by the CLIVAR AMOC Task Team, US CLIVAR and the EPOC project, and brings together members of the scientific community to discuss the value of AMOC observing, observational priorities and a roadmap for future AMOC observing.
