However, the Bolin Centre provides a useful platform to do so and it might be very fruitful to get in touch across disciplines which are related to biogeochemical cycles in the climate system. Therefore, we thought that it would be a good idea to explore potentials for further collaborations inside RA4, or just discuss interesting latest concepts. A first very important step was to collect research interests on paper, see the document put together by Volker for the last meeting. (Please, have a look at this living document and enhance or modify where needed, and send it back to us.) However, dry paper alone cannot stimulate communication. Therefore, we thought about a series of Fika during May where everybody can attend and meet colleagues. The idea would be that everybody informs his/herself alone about the research interests of RA4 colleagues and then get in touch during the Fika. Everybody is busy of course. However, with having three Fika in a row we hope that you will have a good chance to meet with all colleagues. So, please, come and join our first RA4 Fika at May, 3rd 2:30 PM in the S5 floor area in front of Br?ggerrummet. Next possibilities will be at May, 14th and 20th, same place and same time.

Rossby, whom most should be familiar with. The seminar is given by Jim Fleming, historian of science and technology at Colby Collage in Maine, US.

Cheers, Michael -------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Seminar on "The Emergence of Atmospheric Science" with James Fleming May 15th at KTH Date: Mon, 6 May 2013 10:14:02 +0200 From: Nina Wormbs To: personal at tekhist.kth.se Welcome to a seminar with Professor James Fleming On May 15th 13.15 - 14.45 James Fleming will give the talk "The Emergence of Atmospheric Science: Writing history along the Rossby-Wexler axis" at the Division of History of Science, Technology and Environment, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Brinellv?gen 32, III. The interdisciplinary field of atmospheric science emerged in the fifth decade of the twentieth century, shaped by the synergistic influences of transformative technologies, including aviation, radio, the atomic bomb, digital computing, rocketry, and satellites. New observational networks, practical tools, theoretical models, and the needs of two world wars and the Cold War opened up exciting new possibilities for researchers, while posing daunting new challenges for administrators. Parts of this complex and potentially acronym-filled story have been told before, but not well. My account is based on the lives and careers of C.-G. Rossby (1898-1956), arguably the most influential and innovative meteorologist of the twentieth century, and his student Harry Wexler (1911-1962), head of research in the U.S. Weather Bureau. *James Rodger Fleming* is a historian of science and technology and Professor of Science, Technology and Society at Colby College, Maine. His teaching bridges the sciences and the humanities, and his research interests involve the history of the geophysical sciences, especially meteorology and climate change.

A silver bullet or many interacting processes?" *15:15: MISU, **room R609* "Understanding ocean circulation through gravitational potential energy" The two abstracts are below. Hope to see many of you there, despite the marathon of talks this week, Agatha *"Solving the glacial-interglacial CO2 problem. A silver bullet or many interacting processes?"** * Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations varied by about 90 ppm over the ~100,000 year glacial cycles, comparable in magnitude to the anthropogenic increase over the last 150 years. Three decades of research have led to the view that the principal cause of lower atmospheric CO2 during glacial periods was marine in origin, and that changes in the Southern Ocean circulation played a key role, but more specific assertions cannot be justified. A series of mechanisms have been proposed as a "silver bullet" that will solve the glacial-interglacial CO2 problem, only to be rejected on the grounds of (a) inconsistency with the proxy record; and/or (b) lacking potential in models to produce sufficiently large variations in CO2. It is likely that many carbon cycle components interacted to produce CO2 cycles, and this requires us to reconsider how we address the problem. Simulations with the carbon-isotope-enabled Earth System Model GENIE are used to demonstrate that the response of the carbon cycle to changes in physical processes is strongly non-linear. As a consequence of this, it is impossible to estimate with confidence the potential of an individual mechanism to contribute to glacial CO2 cycles based on the traditional experiment design of Perturbation Experiment versus Control Experiment. Instead, ensemble experiments in which different processes are varied simultaneously, and then statistically emulated to isolate the role of individual processes, are required. I will present examples of the use of ensembles, and use these to narrow uncertainty in the causes of glacial CO2 cycles. *"Understanding ocean circulation through gravitational potential energy"* The transport of the global meridional overturning circulation (MOC) is recognised to be limited by the supply of mechanical energy, but much debate surrounds how ocean energetics and dynamics are linked. I will present a theoretical framework that demonstrates the direct effect of gravitational potential energy (GPE) sources and sinks on baroclinic pressure gradients, and summarise how this supports three distinct lines of investigation into controls on the MOC: (1) MOC theory, rooted in seminal studies by Gnanadesikan (1999) and Nilsson & Walin (2001), is extended to account for co-existing and competing Atlantic and Antarctic overturning cells; (2) The role of diapyncal mixing in ocean dynamics is shown to depend strongly on local thermohaline structure, due to the non-linear equation of state; (3) An energy budget for a global climate model is presented, illustrating the complementary roles of surface buoyancy forcing and diapycnal mixing in the MOC. -- Agatha M. de Boer, Associate Professor Dept. of Geological Science and Bert Bolin Centre for Climate Research Stockholm University, 106 91 Stockholm, Tel: +46 8 16 4730 http://people.su.se/~adebo -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I will present examples of the use of ensembles, and use these to narrow uncertainty in the causes of glacial CO2 cycles. *"Understanding ocean circulation through gravitational potential energy"* The transport of the global meridional overturning circulation (MOC) is recognised to be limited by the supply of mechanical energy, but much debate surrounds how ocean energetics and dynamics are linked. I will present a theoretical framework that demonstrates the direct effect of gravitational potential energy (GPE) sources and sinks on baroclinic pressure gradients, and summarise how this supports three distinct lines of investigation into controls on the MOC: (1) MOC theory, rooted in seminal studies by Gnanadesikan (1999) and Nilsson & Walin (2001), is extended to account for co-existing and competing Atlantic and Antarctic overturning cells; (2) The role of diapyncal mixing in ocean dynamics is shown to depend strongly on local thermohaline structure, due to the non-linear equation of state; (3) An energy budget for a global climate model is presented, illustrating the complementary roles of surface buoyancy forcing and diapycnal mixing in the MOC. -- Agatha M. de Boer, Associate Professor Dept. of Geological Science and Bert Bolin Centre for Climate Research Stockholm University, 106 91 Stockholm, Tel: +46 8 16 4730 http://people.su.se/~adebo -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

PDC Summer School KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden August 19-30, 2013 http://www.pdc.kth.se/education/summer-school *Invitation* Are you interested in using one of Europe?s faster supercomputers (and getting university credit points for doing so)? Would you like to learn how to write programs for parallel supercomputers, such as a Cray or a cluster of Graphics Processing Units? Do you need to optimize already-existing scientific program code for high-performance computing? If you answered ?yes? to any of these questions, or if you want to learn the basics about high-performance parallel computing, the PDC Center for High-Performance Computing, in conjunction with the School of Computer Science and Communication (CSC) at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, invites you to our summer school: "Introduction to High-Performance Computing". The course will be held in Stockholm at the KTH main campus August 19-30. The course is given in English and is open to researchers and master and PhD students, from anywhere in the world. To find out more about our exciting summer school, visit our web page at http://www.pdc.kth.se/education/summer-school/. *Background* The PDC Summer School in High-Performance Computing has been held at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm each summer since 1996 to help researchers to improve their scientific computing skills. This year will be the eighteenth year that the course has run. During two intensive summer weeks at the KTH campus, summer school participants are introduced to programming supercomputers, and also learn how to improve programs for parallel scientific applications so that they run more efficiently. Participants who successfully complete the course (including the associated programming project) will be awarded 7.5 ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System). Note that 1.5 ECTS credits are equivalent to a workload of one 40-hour week, so the whole course is equivalent to five full-time weeks of study including project work. Participants are encouraged to bring their own problems or programs fordiscussion ? where possible, these may be used as the basis of thecourse project. During the summer school, participants will be given access to PDC's Cray XE6 system, Lindgren, which is one of the fastest supercomputers in the Nordic countries. There are a limited number of spaces available on the course, so please register early! Registration for the 2013 summer school will open on March 15 and will close on June 1. *Outline* The summer school classes will consist of about 35 hours of lectures and 35 hours of computer lab sessions covering topics such as: ? parallel programming (MPI, OpenMP, GPU), ? modern computer architectures, ? parallel algorithms, ? efficient programming, and ? HPC case studies. The lectures given by international experts followed by hands-on sessions in the PDC computer lab ? these will give participants the opportunity to obtain practical experience of the HPC topics covered in the lectures. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Please mark your calendars. Welcome! ?rjan, Volker & Christian On Fri, 04/26/2013 03:18 PM, Christian Beer < christian.beer at itm.su.se> wrote: Dear biogeochemical cycles reserachers and everybody interested in biogeochemical cycles, As our daily work life is largely determined by reaching obvious next goals (e.g. write the next paper) and solving pressing detailed issues with the used methods etc., there is usually not a lot of time during the day to look over to other disciplines in the field of Earth system science. However, the Bolin Centre provides a useful platform to do so and it might be very fruitful to get in touch across disciplines which are related to biogeochemical cycles in the climate system. Therefore, we thought that it would be a good idea to explore potentials for further collaborations inside RA4, or just discuss interesting latest concepts. A first very important step was to collect research interests on paper, see the document put together by Volker for the last meeting. (Please, have a look at this living document and enhance or modify where needed, and send it back to us.) However, dry paper alone cannot stimulate communication. Therefore, we thought about a series of Fika during May where everybody can attend and meet colleagues. The idea would be that everybody informs his/herself alone about the research interests of RA4 colleagues and then get in touch during the Fika. Everybody is busy of course. However, with having three Fika in a row we hope that you will have a good chance to meet with all colleagues. So, please, come and join our first RA4 Fika at May, 3rd 2:30 PM in the S5 floor area in front of Br?ggerrummet. Next possibilities will be at May, 14th and 20th, same place and same time.

Abstract The Lake of Stymphalia is known as the place where Heracles was fighting against the Stymphalian Birds as one of his 12 labors. Today, mythical stories like this are investigated for information on environmental change caused by early settlers in prehistoric Greece. Our interdisciplinary project aims to understand the relationship between the historical and the climatic record, as well as the natural versus human-induced environmental change on the Northern Peloponnesus. Several piston cores were recovered at Stymphalia with a length of up to 15 meters, corresponding to a maximum age of 45 ka. I will present the first results of multi-proxy analyses based on sedimentological, and geochemical methods as well as on Bayesian age-depth-modeling. Warmly Welcome!

The Call for proposals intends to identify pilot initiatives to be carried out in the priority river basins in view of the development of tools for an efficient allocation of water resources. Within the scope of the call, the priority river basins are those where water scarcity, droughts and/or desertification is a major problem. The pilot projects will aim at developing dynamic water balances as well as identifying management, technological and economic measures allowing for optimal water management in the priority pilot river basins. The general objective of the Call for proposals is to obtain detailed information on the water resources available in the selected pilot basins and to demonstrate the potential of management, technological and economic measures for improving water management with a view to halting desertification in Europe and decreasing vulnerability to water scarcity and droughts. The following outcomes are envisaged: ? Relevant water balance tables for the selected river basin(s). ? Innovative solutions to data gathering and integration. ? Assessment of how the River Basin Authority(ies) in the selected river basin(s) have integrated quantitative water management issues in the preparation of the 2015 River Basin Management Plans.

When: Thursday, May 30 at 16:15-17:00 Where: Ahlmannsalen, Geovetenskapens hus, Svante Arrhenius v?g 12, Stockholm Snacks and drinks will be available afterwards! Abstract The Lake of Stymphalia is known as the place where Heracles was fighting against the Stymphalian Birds as one of his 12 labors. Today, mythical stories like this are investigated for information on environmental change caused by early settlers in prehistoric Greece. Our interdisciplinary project aims to understand the relationship between the historical and the climatic record, as well as the natural versus human-induced environmental change on the Northern Peloponnesus. Several piston cores were recovered at Stymphalia with a length of up to 15 meters, corresponding to a maximum age of 45 ka. I will present the first results of multi-proxy analyses based on sedimentological, and geochemical methods as well as on Bayesian age-depth-modeling. Warmly Welcome!

Data show that the atmospheric surface temperature has enhanced in all the homogeneous regions of India with a maximum value of about 10C during winter and post-monsoon months. There is a significant seasonal asymmetry in the temperature rise. Also extreme temperature events of different types have enhanced over all the regions. It is found that the total precipitation during the summer monsoon months of June to September does not show any statistically significant trend. However, the numbers of short spell high intensity rain events and dry spells have increased in the last half century. Long spell rain events, on the other hand, show decreasing trend. The decrease in the number of long spell rain events associated with similar tendencies in the number of monsoon depressions, the mean monsoon wind and its shears over India suggests that the Indian summer monsoon circulation might be weakening. This talk will further deal with the simulation of summer monsoon climate by the regional climate model RegCM4.3. The model has been integrated from 1st January 1970 till 31st December 2099 at 50 km horizontal resolution over the South Asia CORDEX domain. CMIP5 GFDL-ESM2M simulations are used as the initial and boundary conditions with RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 emissions scenarios till the end of the century. Comparison of JJAS mean model projected rainfall for the different periods in the future interestingly reveals systematic changes over most of the Indian regions. Seasonal mean rainfall weakens over the central India, northern Indian Ocean and equatorial Indian Ocean. On the other hand, it strengthens more and more over the Arabian Sea and northern Bay of Bengal. A major fraction of the changes occur due to the convective component of the rainfall. Atmospheric circulation, surface evaporation, and large scale moisture convergence over the region are found to change along the same line and explain the changes observed with rainfall. *Welcome!* -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
