D6.1 Clustering Event Nr. 1 is published!
The Clustering Event Nr.1 took place on 11-12 March 2025 at the Institute of Oceanology, Polish Academy of Sciences (IOPAN), gathering project participants from both ObsSea4Clim and BioEcoOcean, and featuring an introduction from the third sister project, BioGeoSea. We published the insights and lessons learned from the event in this…

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…

EOV Reliability, Accuracy and Uncertainty Maps (V.1) are here!
We are very excited to share the first part of ObsSea4Clim Essential Ocean Variables (EOV) Reliability, Accuracy, and Uncertainty Maps (V.1) in our newest deliverable D2.1. The EOV Reliability, Accuracy, and Uncertainty Maps (V.1) focus on assessing in situ data availability and uncertainties for key parameters like temperature, salinity, and…

Studying Arctic Marginal Ice Zone
Arctic sea ice is thinning and retreating because of global warming. Thus, the region is transitioning to a new state featuring an expansion of the marginal ice zone – a region where sea ice interacts with the open ocean. A new paper published in EGUsphere explores how accurate the Global…

What is the value of ocean carbon sink? New research supported by ObsSea4Clim
Oceans are one of the key natural carbon sinks, meaning that they absorb more carbon dioxide (CO2) than they release. By absorbing ~25-30% of all anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions, oceans create a considerable value to society. Once quantified and assessed, the information on the value of the annual ocean sink…

When are ocean practices mature, and what is best practice?
Ocean practices, which include various methods supporting ocean research and operations, are continually developed and improved to aid informed decision-making. These practices often begin with an idea from an individual or group and evolve into what might be called good or even best practices. However, this evolution of ocean practices…

New publication exploring the overflow of water through Faroe Bank Channel into AMOC
The overflow of cold and dense water through the depths of the Faroe Bank Channel is the densest contribution to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). A recent study led by ObsSea4Clim researcher Karin Margretha Húsgarð Larsen and published in Geophysical Research Letters, sets out to better understand this overflow…

New deliverable: ObsSea4Clim Data Management Plan
ObsSea4Clim collects and uses various observational and numerical data across the project work packages, throughout the project duration. The project brings together multiple European and international actors, and the data will be shared between them. Therefore, having a clear and structured data management plan is essential for the success of…

Study of ice-free feature in Weddell Sea, Antarctica
A new study has been published in npj Climate and Atmospheric Science journal (Nature portfolio), supported by ObsSea4Clim! The authors investigate an unusual extensive ice-free feature (EIF) within the pack ice that developed in the central Weddell Sea in December 1980 on the edge of the multi-year sea ice off…
