Constraining CMIP6 simulations for the Atlantic Water in the Arctic
New study published with support from ObsSea4Clim! The study aims to improve the representation of the Atlantic Water layer in the Arctic Ocean within #CMIP6 climate model simulations. This is crucial because Atlantic Water inflow significantly influences Arctic climate change, yet current models show large biases and uncertainty. By selecting…

ObsSea4Clim contributes to the international efforts reviewing knowledge on AMOC
IPCC assessment reports indicate that climate change leads to a shifting baseline for ocean and cryosphere systems. However, there is high uncertainty for projected physical changes and thus their impacts. Physical changes include ocean warming and weakening of the AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation), combined with progressive sea level rise.…

Identification of indicators for marine extremes – MS5
ObsSea4Clim investigates extreme events in the ocean, such as marine heatwaves. For the purpose of this work, we have identified ocean indicators to study these extremes and published this list in a Milestone 5 report. What are ocean indicators? The Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) currently defines ocean indicators as…
