Just before the Christmas break: In this newsletter we highlight the ongoing work, call for speakers for the Climate Coffees for 2022, recent publications and the proceedings of the final workshop, so please read on!
Proceedings of the workshop
"Multi-annual to decadal climate predictability
in the North Atlantic-Arctic sector"
The proceedings of the last project annual meeting of Blue-Action are now available. The event was organised by Blue-Action, ROADMAP and the Bjerknes Climate Prediction Unit, together with the CLIVAR Climate Dynamics Panel, the CLIVAR Atlantic Region Panel and CLIVAR Northern Oceans Region Panel, to promote research on predictability in the North Atlantic and Arctic sector.
Link to the proceedings: https://www.zenodo.org/record/5793263
In the document you can find the abstracts of the talks and the posters for each of the sessions. In addition you can find the highlights of the breakout sessions. Most of the presentations and posters have been made available by the authors. Links pointed at these resources are also listed in the proceedings.
Goals: The workshop aimed to foster scientific exchanges and collaborations on multi-annual to decadal climate predictability, including research on:
climate predictability from interannual to multi-decadal timescales and our understanding of the associated physical processes and their representation by models
improvement of dynamical prediction systems, and
increasing need for actionable information dependent on skillful climate predictions.
Happy reading!
Call for speakers for 2022: Climate Coffees
Blue-Action and the European Climate Research Alliance (ECRA) are looking for new speakers for the first quarter 2022!
In the climate coffees, speakers provide a short talk, followed by discussion, questions and comments. The climate coffees are scheduled at coffee time 11am CET, every second Thursday.
The next talk is scheduled on 23 December with Dim Coumou, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Institute for Environmental Studies (homepage) with a talk on "Is global warming making summer circulation more persistent?"
Are you interested in presenting your results? Get in touch with winfried.hoke@ecra-climate.eu and Chiara Bearzotti chb@dmi.dk
If you are part of the Blue-Action team, please don't forget to let us know about your publication or outreach success!
Please drop a mail to Chiara Bearzotti chb@dmi.dk
Here we highlight some of the recent publication that acknowledge Blue-Action, published in collaboration with partners, projects and organisations across the world. Congratulations to all the authors!
